This Just In: Choosy Terrorists choose Jif

Plenty of other places are covering this story, but no one's really ever answered the question: If, as I understand it, these are basically the same drugs that are available in the US, only cheaper, then why is the Federal Government so hot to make people pay more? Why doesn't the FDA just admit that they are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry? The other irony about all of this is that, while Republican politicians (and quite a few Democrats too) get large amounts of money from big drug companies, Conservative pundits are always the ones who bemoan the culture that encourages so many people to take all these drugs. And they call US the flip-floppers.
