This is a very bad joke. Right?

I was counting on you to for all our very bad joke needs.

Jones points out, according to the British Medical Journal, companies
that helped start the Texas project are major contributors to Bush's
election funds. Also, some members of the New Freedom Commission have
served on advisory boards for these same companies, while others have
direct ties to TMAP.

Eli Lilly, manufacturer of olanzapine, one of the drugs recommended in
the plan, has multiple ties to the Bush administration, BMJ says. The
elder President Bush was a member of Lilly's board of directors and
President Bush appointed Lilly's chief executive officer, Sidney
Taurel, to the Homeland Security Council.

Of Lilly's $1.6 million in political contributions in 2000, 82 percent
went to Bush and the Republican Party.

Things really are worse than I thought. Mandatory feeding of
psychotropic drugs to people that the administration finds deficient.

In a few years 'deficient' will mean someone who didn't vote for you.

Nope. The program will start with defective posters to Usenet. Soon you
will get the medicine you need. Next thing you know you will be
listening to short wave and posting on topic to RRS.

Then they will go after people like David that lift entire articles and
post them (including the copyright) as off topic threads.
