Not to Get Political or Anything

I write about all sorts of BS that relates to mental health treatment. Mostly about marketing infiltrating science. But hey, it's a freakin' election year. And when I see good political comedy, I have to post it. Yes, I'm sure there are also duplicitous Democrats. But matching the like of Dick "Apron Strings" Morris and Karl "Thriving Metropolis of Wasilla" Rove is probably going to be a tough task.




I would also like to go on the record as saying that I am totally against banning books from libraries, which might make me a poor candidate for higher office.

My Political Leanings Are Out in the Open (Sort of)

As noted on the Scientific Misconduct Blog and PharmaGossip, there is an online test available (the Political Compass) that claims to measure one's political leanings. If one is inclined to think that one's political views might influence a person's writing, then my potential bias is revealed in the graph below. I encourage everyone who blogs about pharma, mental health, or related topics to take the test and post the results on your blog. If you're not a blogger, it is still an interesting test that is probably worth your time.

Disclaimer: I can't attest to the validity of this test. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
