Dr. Bush’s Big Bottle of Testicular Extract: Good For What Ails You

by Steven Laffoley
Do you feel anxious about the Civil War in Iraq? Does your heart ache when yet another American is killed in Anbar province?
Does your stomach feel queasy when more bodies turn up in Baghdad with gruesome signs of torture? Well, worry no more. The good Dr. Bush has a specially made salve at hand: Dr. Bush’s Big Bottle of Testicular Extract – good for what ails you. Sounds silly? Well, maybe not.What is his unscientific, backward thinking, Snake Oil solution to an illegal, immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq gone terribly wrong? Why, just invade Iraq again – but this time with more troops. That this Snake Oil Salve – also sold by that equally emphatic, equally unscientific Snake Oil Salesman, the Good Dr. McCain – ignores logic, evidence, intellectual examination, relevant facts, and the truth is not the point. Dr. Bush’s Testicular Extract has “truthiness” to it – it feels good to “take the fight to the enemy.” Doesn’t it?
Of course, the problem with Snake Oil Salves is this: the Doctor’s ‘cure’ can kill you. Dr. Bush’s Testicular Extract feels a bit like pouring gasoline on a raging fire. But then, maybe Dr. Bush has been into his own stuff lately. Either way, by the time the good Dr. Bush’s Big Bottle of Testicular Extract makes us ill, the good Dr. Bush will be well on his way to the next town, selling more of his Testicular Extract to the ignorant locals.
