Lol

Republican's "change you deserve" slogan, while also sounding a lot like Barack Obama's, is also trademarked by a pharmaceutical anti-depressant :P

Hehey

Effexor!

" Due to the pronounced side effects and suspicions that venlafaxine may significantly increase the risk of suicide, it is not recommended as a first line treatment of depression. However, it is often effective for depression not responding to SSRIs. Venlafaxine was the sixth most widely-used antidepressant based on the number of retail prescriptions in the US (17.1 million) in 2006.[1]"

If you voted for bush, twice! Wouldn't a drug that might cause suicide be kind of comforting? Thus the excellent GOP sloganeering!

"Change you deserve"? Death by your own hand. Better than living through a bush-lite (mccain) administration. Why not?

And don't try to quit Effexor, it will get you. Oh yes. Just like trying to quit the GOP? Worse, much much worse.

The comments of Grist users reflect the opinions of those individuals only, and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of Grist, its staff, its board members, their psychotherapists, or their aestheticians. Got it?
