Venereal disease alert

I received this about a month ago from a...hmm, "prominent medical professional." Figured it was serious enough I should pass it on.

-------Subject: New virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new
virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease. This disease is
contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. The disease is called
Gonorrhea Lecthym (Pronounced "Gonna Re-elect Him"). Many victims have
contracted it after having been screwed by the
Bush-Cheney-Rove-Ashcroft administration for the past 4 years, and failing
to have taken adequate measures to protect themselves.

Cognitive sequellae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea lecthim
include: Antisocial personality disorder traits; delusions of grandeur
with a messianic flavor; cognitive perseveration; inability to
incorporate new information into a rigid idée fixee; xenophobia;
inability to accept responsibility for actions; and a strong
propensity for categorical, all-or nothing thinking.

This epidemic is out of control. MMWR reports it has already resulted in
brain death in over 59,000,000 Americans. Excessive exposure to trailer
parks, country gospel music and yellow ribbon asphyxiation are thought to be
contributing factors New CDC Director Archbishop Burke has ordered a halt to
research into the disease after determining the disease is incurable and is
merely God's will.

Apparently, however, at least 55,000,000 of us have natural immunity and are
poised to lead a brief, but exciting life right after the rapture begins and
our afflicted fellow Americans ascend to their eternal reward.

Thanks to morrigandaughtr for the insta-quiz. Of course, these things are quite random, but I get interested by how I react to the results.

I was kind of irked about the large amount of ambition part. But is there anything wrong with ambition? Not if it's leavened with some balance, and doesn't become an excuse to be an egotistical asshole or a self-centered power-fiend. Better ambitious than aimless, I figure. Hmm. But that could just be my pride speaking. Good thing for me I'm so loveable ;>
