Latest PEST update

It's stuff like this that just keeps me grinnin and grinnin ever since Nov 2nd at 10:15 PM. Here's some classic excerpts of how whining liberal weenie Kerry supporters are dealing with, correction failing to deal with reality.

Twenty John Kerry supporters met for their first group therapy session in
South Florida Thursday, screaming epithets at President Bush as they shared
their emotions with licensed mental health counselors.

*** Ah, your basic liberal Democrat intelligencia's natural state

The first of several free noontime therapy sessions at the American Health
Association in Boca Raton was designed to treat what mental health
counselors have dubbed Post Election Selection Trauma (PEST).

*** Man, I could not make up better acronyms and stuff myself

“If I had a cardboard cutout of President Bush, and these people wanted to
throw darts at it, I would let them do it,” Robert J. Gordon, AHA executive
director, told the Boca News after the session. “It’s no joke. People with
PEST were traumatized by the election. If you even mention religion, their
faces turn blister-red as they shout at Bush.”

*** Yes, the typical DNC reaction to religion, wait I mean to the CHRISTIAN religion

“I’m scared,” said one man. “Democracy is at stake and nobody is rising to
protest this president.”

*** Obviously not a watcher of mainstream TV news, reader of the NYT, LAT or Boston Globe

“The media outlets, especially Rush Limbaugh and his ilk on talk radio,
scare our patients to death,” said Gordon, facilitator for the meetings.
“More than anything else, people with PEST tremble physically.”

*** What a bunch of utter weenies

“We mostly let them vent during the first session,” Gordon said. “By the
third session, we’ll be doing some meditation exercises to aid some of their
symptoms. We may use visualization and some techniques designed for bipolar
disease and other mental disorders. That might help them adjust to reality.”

*** I am not sure if that is possible, liberals adjusting to reality

According to AHA officials, symptoms of PEST are similar to post-traumatic
stress disorder. They include nightmares, sleeplessness, hostility,
listlessness, and emotional outbursts including threats to leave the
country.

*** Rumor has it that the Canadians are now authorized to shoot unauthorized border crossers

“There’s an overall sense of emotional helplessness and abandonment,” said
Sheila Cooperman, a licensed AHA psychotherapist from Delray Beach. “In
psychology, we call it ‘learned helplessness.’ After you zap a caged dog
twice, he stops moving because he knows there is no place to go. That’s what
happened with these Kerry voters. They’ve been zapped so many times that
they’re on the verge of giving up on politics.”

*** I say, Zap 'em again for good measure! They'll need to get used to it.

“First, they need to realize they’re not going to overturn the 2004
election,” Gordon said.

*** Given that, isn't it inhumane for Kerry to challenge Ohio and further torture these poor souls?

The AHA, using a holistic approach to health that has been mocked as new age
voodoo by some national talk show hosts, has stressed to patients that their
post-election emotions are normal and deserve to be taken seriously. ...
The trauma specialist, whose bills were covered by clients’ insurance
companies, was later accused by some colleagues of unethically “cashing in”
on the misery of Kerry voters. In interviews with the Boca News, Schooler
said many of the Kerry supporters had visited him for severe mental problems
prior to the election.

*** That I believe. Yes many mental patients voted for Kerry. Look at this HZ.

Unlike Schooler, the AHA is a registered Florida non-profit and its
therapists do not charge for sessions. Conservative talk show hosts Sean
Hannity and Rush Limbaugh recently offered their own “free therapy,” irking
the AHA counselors.

*** Fuck Yeah! (playing sadist to the masochist because RL expects and wants it)
