But the chief penalty is to be governed by someone worse if a man will not himself hold office and rule.
–Plato
Not long ago, I wrote a post about the miracle obesity drug, Belviq. Then I wrote another one about bariatric surgery and the new “obesity as disease” pronouncement.
Little did I know how closely they were linked. Follow the money too far and you might end up with half your intestines cut out.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
–Albert Einstein
I woke up this morning to see similar headlines blasted all over the web. I would love to quote it for you, but I just can’t decide which particular headline to use.
The upshot of all the headlines is that the FDA has finally approved a new obesity drug, Belviq, for sale in the USA. And there are so many things to mock here that my head is swimming. It’s like that time I got dragged to go “fishing” at a fish farm. The pond was about 3 feet deep, 20 feet widem and 10 feet long and contained approximately 1,546,453 fish.
You could just put on your apron, grab one with your bbq tongs, and stick it right on the grill.
