Stolen via
a Lawyers, Gubs & Money commenter, this Rick Perlstein item (from
The Baffler) is just about
worth* the effort. Our in-box is clogged w/ the same ol' crapola (The Mark Skousen one described was a recent visitor.) & we see the ads for free electricity, running your car on water,
&c. on the rare occasions when we look out of our cocoon & visit NewsMax or any of its peers. Currently playing:

There you have it. People who believe in secret joint replacement miracles also believe absurd conspiracy theories & support fiscal conservatism.
Unmentioned are the
Utah-based nutritional supplement companies, which serve as a clear example of Galtian super-beings resisting socialism or something. This is
what they mean when they scream that "Liberty & Freedom" are threatened by Big Bad Government.
The bigger theme is that blatant lying or total disregard for the truth or what. Ever. Is now part of the conservative/reactionary identity. And is a requirement for office-seeking.
*Good enough it wasn't worth our time to excerpt any of it.

Not knowing what the high-blood-pressure solution is will give me a heart attack.
Doctor Editor:
Probably just eating bland, non-greasy food & exercising, either of which would give us a heart attack anyway.
