"Truth Is My Bitch!"

Chronicle of a Shrink's journey from youthful know-it-all to old-fart astonishment.

Real life sometimes exceeds even
the disgusting, warped, tasteless mockery of an aged class-clown like Dr. Bawb who wallows in swill without audience or attentive
classmates to speak of. The other day a Wall Street Journal review of several books on the follies of psychiatry, once Dr. Bawb's profession, seemed a big, wet enough spitball to sling and, potentially, piss-off certain Giants of the Shrink Industry like the makers of Zoloft. A brief description of Desperate Cures and the US Lobotomy fad of the 1950s prompted finding a 6000-year old Peruvian Indian lobotomy. above, seemed plenty to show even this was nothing new: "Lobotomies later went into mass production when American psychiatrist, Walter Freeman, began to travel across the country to treat patients using nothing more than a glorified ice pick that he pushed through the soft bones in the roof of their eye sockets to sever their frontal brain regions. and how the media promoted it (after Egas Moniz, neuro-surgeon and self-promoter, received the Nobel Prize in 1949), and how patients with chronic anxiety, depression and schizophrenia http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB121461316011612643.html
were transformed into quiet mental invalids." Winging polysyllabic spitballs or even an Uzi that shot 15 hot barf-cartridges per second wouldn't work for Dr. Bawb today ["UZI" left, is well-mannered and remains well above any of this]. Earlier today John "Goddam" Conyers
deigned to allow Rep. Dennis Kucinich to lay out his case for impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. "We're discussing...but we're not doing impeachment," said Conyers. Real 'White' of you, John. A lifetime of Stiller Fandom, towering contempt for anything http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3622221Cleveland - especially the Brownzos - and their Congressguy's all that's between democracy, Dr. Bawb and any stove still too hot for Bush, Cheney et al to steal. John: go get Nancy and please have the Congressional Comity not to SHTUP "Madame Speaker" while the CSPAN camera's on.

But this wasn't the worst thing: Forget Ben Bernanke telling congress Freddie Kruger needs bailing out and the LAPD "monitoring" the since-5am-PDT lines of panicky Encino CA depositors http://ktla.trb.com/business/ and http://www.latimes.com/news/local/valley/la-fi-indymac16-2008jul16,0,4988921.storywith OVER $100K deposited at the bank - mostly telling those people to "go home and don't worry." It was this:

" Lancaster: mother killed
