Bob Dole: In a word “Viagra”. Hundreds of millions spent on a promotional campaign for a pharmaceutical that likely should have been never promoted to the public directly. Every limp Boehner with a carotene-tan wanted to think they could “party hearty” for hours. Medicinal stud-dom. And it made Pfizer billions.

One of the major ways of cutting pharma costs would, of course, be to reduce the advertising aspects of promoting the drugs to individuals who don’t really need them…to reduce the degree of drug abuse in the society…and to promote, instead, healthier lifestyles.

When Pharma suddenly realised that the bills were shifting the wrong way Dole jumped ship.

If we don’t want Israel to use nukes to take out the Iranian atomic program, we’d better provide them with a non-nuclear alternative. Right now, the only think that either Israel or America has that would bust the enrichment facility are nukes.

Bush would have used nukes or been happy to let Israel do so, I think. Obama, not so much.

And as for Dole, well, I’d pay good money for transcripts of the phone calls he received between the time of his statement and the time that ObamaCo pulled thew ad.

Within a week of each other, Obama gets Nobel Peace Prize and fast tracks super massive bunker buster bombs.

The Pentagon is speeding up delivery of a colossal bomb designed to destroy hidden weapons bunkers buried underground and shielded by 10,000 pounds of reinforced concrete

Call it Plan B for dealing with Iran, which recently revealed a long-suspected nuclear site deep inside a mountain near the holy city of Qom.

Totally OT, but I thought it was interesting. BofA to hand over Merrill Documents.

The techies are aware of it, thanks. If you still see the same problem by the end of the week, drop a brief note in comments and we’ll check with them again.

Any chance you’re using Chrome? [edit: by which I mean checking to see if you have the same problem with a different browser, sorry]
