Here's a cool idea: Classify 'happiness' as a psychiatric disorder!


In 1992, psychiatrist Richard Bentall wrote an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics proposing that happiness be classified as a psychiatric disorder.
It is proposed that happiness be classified as a psychiatric disorder and be included in future editions of the major diagnostic manuals under the new name: major affective disorder, pleasant type. In a review of the relevant literature it is shown that happiness is statistically abnormal, consists of a discrete cluster of symptoms, is associated with a range of cognitive abnormalities, and probably reflects the abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. One possible objection to this proposal remains--that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.

Krugman again. That usually means trouble

The fact is that one of our two great political parties has made it clear that it has no interest in making America governable, unless it’s doing the governing.
--Paul Krugman, New York Times, 11/22/10:


Paul Krugman examines Alan Simpson’s recent comments about how excited he, Simpson, is about the prospect of a government shut down or, as Simpson puts it, a “blood bath in April.” Why, Simpson sounds just like a teenager waiting for the next Michael Bay film! “And boy, the blood bath will be extraordinary,” he says.

Sociopaths like Alan Simpson belong in a straitjacket - not in some TV studio spewing bile. Ditto for Newt.

When terriers daydream

Pope sez: Put on your rubbers

How did I miss this?

“Pope Benedict XVI has said the use of condoms is acceptable “in certain cases”, according to a new book.
He said condoms could reduce the risk of infection with HIV, such as for a prostitute, in a series of interviews he gave to a German journalist.
The Vatican newspaper ran excerpts on Saturday.
”

WTF?? (Glaring angrily at kids across the room)
 Now he fucking tells us. Go to your room!
Haha - that is a joke

Except that...the new ruling does not apply to Heterosexuals. Once again, the gay prostitutes get to have all the fun.
