The following came to me today in an e-mail:

The Centers for Disease Control have issued a warning about a virulent new strain of disease contracted through dangerous, high risk behaviour. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced "gonna re-elect him." Many victims contracted it in 2004 after having been screwed for the past four years.

Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected include antisocial personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with messianic overtones, inability to incorporate new information, paranoia, inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all-or-nothing behaviour.

Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease originated only a few years ago from a single Bush found in Texas.
