Best to have a snifter of brandy, as well as a couple of six packs and 2 martinis, before bed.

For medicinal purposes.

In the morning, a cup of water run through beans that have an alkaloid intended to poison the animal which eats it. With the milk of a cow, intended for putting several hundred pounds on a calf, stirred in.

Good thing I don't smoke marijuana: that's bad for you!

Good lord...where would the entire medical establishment be without 3rd party reimbursement? Maybe doctors should still take chickens as payment.

The medicated majority: a losing coalition.

With articles like this, no wonder people are depressed...

Why do republicans hate drugging people into health?

Alas, they hate it only when the Democrats get the (financial) credit from PhRMA. Republicans were all for Medicare D, and Billy Tauzin got that $2 million/year gig working at PhRMA, and they got really excited about putting active duty combat soldiers on psychotropic pills in Iraq. Wow there's a sure-fire way to pump up civilian casualties: dose combat soldiers with mind-altering drugs! Don't worry about warning labels that say not to operate heavy equipment! They don't even mention automatic weapons! Winning!

Don't buy pills from Canada. You don't know what Canucks put in them!

That's republicans looking after Public Safety.

The reason that americans are always unhappy is that they play variations of keeping up with joneses in their heads and moreover they overload their schedules with professional and personal committments that are often booked months in advance. Many people have every minute of their day planned out including taking kids to various activities. That does not lend itself to spontaneity and is a conduit to experiencing completely unnecessary levels of stress. Then, the antidepressant savior shows up.
