Lobotomy is back in style
The lobotomy--the procedure that involves severing neural pathways in the brain to induce behavioral changes--is making a comeback. A new book and a medical historian contend the crude brain surgery actually helped roughly 10 percent of the estimated 50,000 Americans who underwent the procedure between the mid-1930s and the 1970s.Hmmm . . . I think I know a few prime candidates for the initial surgeries. |

post a commentBush probably already had one.
To steal and riff on one of Jon Stewart's more recent jokes:
"We've secretly replaced Bush's brain Koko the gorilla's. Let's see if anyone notices."
You know, I really wonder what would happen if we started funneling money into medical research to determine whether or not we could programme "peace" into people's brains and behavior.
I say we start brainwashing people like the Scientologists did to TomKat.
Why, oh why, do I even know what the f*ck TomKat is? I've already been lobotomized by the mainstream media.
