Maybe when Shrub finally calls it quits from the Oval Office, he can work on concepts and copy for pharmaceutical companies...you know, outrageously technicolored montages of happy, smiling people...laughing, running through bucolic fields, playing on banana yellow slides in local parks, while he smirks through lines like, "side effects might include runny noses, watery eyes, massive trauma from mortar shells, cluster bombs, IEDs, sectarian violence, anarchy...other side effects include a complete breakdown of civil society, lack of basic services like electricity, plumbing, garbage collection, which can further weaken the immune system and bring about disease, while the chances of malnutrition and starvation will also be present:
