LMAO just can't make this stuff up!!!!!!!

By Hermione Slatkin, medical correspondent

NEW YORK, NY—When Zacharia Goodman recently sought out the help of a therapist, it was no mystery as to what was ailing him. The 27-year-old copy editor was so consumed by his belief that President George W. Bush stole the 2004 election that he was having trouble sleeping, completing rudimentary tasks at work, and carrying on conversations about topics not related to politics.

The therapist he consulted wrote Goodman a prescription for the social anxiety drug Paxil and encouraged him to spend less time reading left-wing Web logs and listening to Air America.

This particular story has a happy ending; Goodman admits that he's already far less irritating to be around than he was just a few weeks ago. But countless paranoids just like him may be going untreated, say mental health professionals. The reason: the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM presently excludes political paranoia from its 933 pages of symptoms, diagnoses and treatment recommendations.

Mr.Know, Having bilingual ballots if going too far. The election is in the USA and our language is mainly English even if a lot of words in America are based on hispanic language and even a lot are based on the local Indian languages.

Making bilingual ballots would be like so mixed with languages that the majority of people that vote would not be able to understand what the election was all about. There is a lot if proof that Hillary is bad for the nation but there are many people that will vote for her even if she is bad for the nation.
