Canadian Drugs Will Kill You
Take heed, America: New word from the FDA suggests that terrorists might be planning to attack the nation's drug supply, especially drugs imported illegally from countries like Canada. (Emphasis mine.)

Now, far be it from me to blame the potential victim, but Americans are doubtlessly aware that importing drugs from Canada also cuts into the massive profits of our nation's fine pharmaceutical companies. Drug companies have been among America's biggest moneymakers in the past few years, thanks to their knack for creative profiteering and using Americans' dollars to subsidize sales in disadvantaged nations, like Canada, France, and Switzerland. Yet some Americans insist on paying Canadian prices, and will even flout the law to do it. Next thing you know, they'll be demanding actual health care!

Thank goodness our friend W. has stood by our drug makers' rights to bigger profits and opposed the importation of cheaper drugs from Canada and elsewhere. We really shouldn't have to remind working Americans to toe the line. They should know that every time they import Granny's heart medicine illegally to save a few dollars, those dollars come directly out of the pocket of a hard-working CEO who might not know where his next Jaguar is coming from.

But thanks to the new warning, we can now send a simpler message: Import prescription drugs, and you will die.
