 Or riffing on stage with rock band Linkin Park and then realizing you're only playing the air guitar. bush is clearly playing air guitar with environmental policy, and he's jamming out tunes that nobody else can hear (because they only exist in his own head). bush is the only President audacious enough to hold a press event announcing the intention to talk about future talks covering exactly nothing. The layers of B.S. are getting thick on this issue, even by Washington's standards. |
| Nearly half the voters wished that bush would be elected president, and that came true," said one science officer. "There's no reason to believe the same effort of Wishful Thinking won't also produce a second miracle." President bush also said he watched "The Secret" and is now invoking the power of intention to end global warming in a way that won't harm the economy. |
| REPPED: (NewsTarget Satire) In a significant nod toward pro-environment politics, the bush Administration yesterday announced a major initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging everybody to engage in "Wishful Thinking" to cut emissions without harming the economy. "Wishing for change is far more important than actually cutting greenhouse emissions," bush said in a prepared statement. "We urge all Americans to take up Wishful Thinking to lower CO2 emissions and, if necessary, to even use up their birthday wishes in this national effort. |

 Big Pharma maintains strong ties with the bush Administration and helped elect virtually every Republican currently in office. In return, the bush Administration has worked to pump up the profits of drug companies at every opportunity: His administration made it illegal for the U.S. |

 The only group that benefits from the bush drug benefit program is Big Pharma. Which, of course, was the whole point all along. Just another bush handout to his campaign financiers.
Americans have been conned yet again
The con is on you, the U.S. taxpayer. Your tax dollars are paying for all this waste, fraud and government pork. It's your money being flushed down the toilet, all in the name of a "benefit" to voters.
You gotta love politics. In no other arena can such a huge lie be so successfully marketed to so many people. Seniors voted for this in droves. |
| Who benefits from the bush drug benefit program?
Remember, too, this is Bush's "benefit" program. But who does it benefit, really?
It doesn't benefit states. They hate the program and it costs them more than doing it the old way.
It doesn't benefit the federal government. It just creates more overhead and headaches.
It doesn't benefit patients. Hundreds of thousands are left without prescriptions.
It DOES benefit Big Pharma. Drug companies get paid exorbitant prices for their cheap-to-manufacture drugs, all paid for by taxpayer dollars, with no volume discounts. |

| Speaking of bull excrement, bush also signed an executive order outlawing cow farts -- a significant source of methane gas that scientists say is more dangerous to the climate than a room full of eco-ignorant politicians. Cows will now be required to hold it in, and the Cow Agency of Farting Enforcement (CAFE) is being formed as a new division under the Department of Homeland Security. Agents are descending upon Greeley, Colorado to monitor the flatulence of cow herds at this very moment. The only question is: Will the view be any different than their regular jobs? |
| To help businesses comply with the administration's Wishful Thinking policy of CO2 emissions reduction, the bush Administration will issue small copper brass lamps (made in China) to all polluters in the United States, along with instructions to rub the genie lamps and make three wishes before firing up any coal plant, automobile or manufacturing facility. |

| In return, the bush Administration has worked to pump up the profits of drug companies at every opportunity: His administration made it illegal for the U.S. government to negotiate volume discounts on Medicare drugs, he's pushed for mandatory "mental health screening" of children that would result in a windfall of profits for psychiatric drugs, he has supported legal immunity for drug companies in cases where patients are killed by drugs like Vioxx, and he has supported the FDA's actions on banning drug imports and protecting monopoly drug pricing in the United States. |

| Big Government used to be the political refuge of Democrats, but now Republicans have beat them at their own game (both Reagan and bush were record spenders. Clinton, on the other hand, actually cut spending. Not nearly enough, but he did make major cuts.) The "game," of course, is seeing who can offer the most handouts to voters while claiming with a straight face that nobody has to pay for them. And the bigger the lie, the better it seems to go over with voters. If there's one thing Americans have learned to love, it's instant gratification that ignores future costs or consequences. |

You gotta love politics. In no other arena can such a huge lie be so successfully marketed to so many people. Seniors voted for this in droves. And now they're getting the government they deserve. |
| Next, we have the bush / Big Pharma conspiracy, whereby the government's drug benefit program actually made it illegal for the federal government to negotiate volume discounts with drug companies. Just another Big Pharma handout? You bet.
And finally, we have the fact that the taxpayers are footing the bill for everything.
Tracking the flow of money, waste and fraud
Let's track the flow of money for prescription drugs, shall we? These numbers are just rough estimates, and this description is greatly simplified, but it gives you an idea of how the system works.

 This makes the Australian bush flower remedies quite unique.
The bush flower remedies are intended to give clarity to one's life and the courage, strength and enthusiasm to pursue goals and dreams. They are said to assist self esteem, enhance intuition and creativity, increase vitality and energy, help emotional balance, release negative beliefs and thoughts and enhance survival skills in crises. All these are ideal attitudes for someone with asthma to develop, so they can confidently and positively take control of their condition. |

 If properly grown in the fight place and properly fertilized, the tea bush will yield up to five pounds (wet weight) per bush per year. The Chinese peasant grew his bushes as a garden crop, probably innocent of all fertilizer (even human manure, or "night soil"), and he might pluck a tenth of what is produced in an Indian plantation today. In the early eighteenth century he would not have been paid more than 1 penny per pound (wet) for his efforts, equivalent to between 3 pence and 6 pence per pound of dry weight. |

 You might spray the bush with a generic garden spray you've had sitting around on a garage shelf and hope for the best; it may not be a product that's specifically meant to conquer the exact insect that's destroying your bush, but it will probably help nonetheless because it defends pretty well against garden pests in general.
The other kind of immune response is the adaptive immune response, which takes place long past the moment when a foreign invader first infiltrates the body. |

 In fact, as reported in the June 19, 2004, edition of BMJ ("Bush Plans to Screen Entire U.S. Population for Mental Illness"), the president's New Freedom Commission Report of 2003 recommended that all children receive mandatory screening for mental disorders and that those who are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder should receive "state-of-the-art treatments" using "specific medications for specific conditions." The Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP), which was developed while President bush was governor of Texas, was cited as a model. |

 President bush, not surprisingly, threatened to veto the bill if it allowed consumers, cities and states to purchase prescription drugs on the free market. (The bush Administration has consistently acted to protect Big Pharma profits, even at the expense of bankrupting Americans.) And many Big-Pharma-controlled Senators are against this amendment, claiming "safety concerns" over imported drugs. The truth, however, is that prescription drugs are dangerous no matter what country they come from! At the same time, we wish to break Big Pharma's monopoly over the U.S. |

 The founder of this foundation, Nancy Brinker, even served on the board of directors of a company called Caremark Rx -- a firm that was selected by the bush Administration to help run (and profit from) the Medicare discount drug program. The ties to the bush Administration run deep, where Brinker has donated $256,000 to bush and other Republicans. Her foundation also owns stock in several pharmaceutical companies. |

 The bush Administration has practically outlawed science and recently announced a new policy requiring that all scientific papers be personally reviewed by President bush himself. From now on, only those papers receiving gold star happy face stickers will be allowed to be published in scientific journals. Watch for exciting upcoming topics like "Why sewage runs downhill" and "1001 new uses for oil."
What censorship? |
| Speaking of outstanding science, a White House spokesperson today said the bush Administration has never forced former Surgeon Generals to censor their speeches or scientific conclusions, except for requiring that they avoid talking about same-sex couples, stem cells, secondhand smoke, emergency contraception or anything involving climate change. Surgeon Generals were also required to repeat the phrase, "Bush is King" at least three times in every speech.

| Australian bush flower essences
The Australian Aborigines have always used flowers to heal emotional imbalances and physical injuries, and so it is no surprise that Australian native flowers have proved to be suitable for making remedies in the tradition of Bach flowers.
Australian plants have a real beauty and strength, and since Australia is relatively unpolluted and metaphysically has a very wise old energy, the plants are considered to carry the inherent power of the land. This makes the Australian bush flower remedies quite unique. |

 REPPED: What happens when the bush Administration negotiates drug prices with private industry using public money? To answer the question, just consider the situation with U.S. government "negotiations" over the prices of prescription drugs for Medicare: The bush Administration not only agreed to pay monopoly prices for medications, it also made it illegal for the government to negotiate any discounts with pharmaceutical companies!
The result? A multi-trillion dollar taxpayer funded subsidy to the richest corporations in the world: Drug companies. |
