06/27/07 "ICH" -- - -According to a report not yet released, the Council on Science and Public Health of the American Medical Association has recommended that a chronic and widespread affliction of Americans be officially declared a psychiatric disorder. It has been named the Political Attention Deficit Disorder (PADD). It is recommended that the disorder be included in a widely used mental illness manual created and published by the American Psychiatric Association. The current manual was published in 1994; the next edition is to be completed in 2012. The benefit to people of an official classification is coverage by health insurance.

L.I.P.

Lobbyist Induced Pshychosis.

Characterized by "glazed donut eyes", while lost in fantasies of slitting the throat thereby cutting off the annoying mosqito buzzing of the corporate lobbyist seated in front of afflicted politician.

Treatment usually involves cash, alcohol, cars, planes, prostitutes and pork barrell projects.
