The Magic Elixar! ©

A man goes in to see a psychiatrist. He tells the doctor that he's depressed, drinking too much, taking drugs, has lost his wife and his job, and his children hate him. He asks the doctor how he can resolve his problems.


"Tax cuts," said the doctor.

From the comments tread at Hullabaloo on Paul Krugman day.

Conservatives like to think tax cuts solve all problems, that's why this joke is so timely (and funny to me.) But. They. Are. Wrong.

And yes, I know I spelled elixir wrong. I know what I'm doing. In the naming branding game all the good words are taken, so you either make one up or misspell one so you can own it. Right now in some brainstorming session in a conference room in Schenectady this phrase just came up and they think "Oh this would be so funny and hip. We'll name our new drink this! See if it is available." Guess what folks, it's mine!

I'm going to copyright this phrase and spelling so when a drink company or drug company wants to use it they will have to pay me! I'll take $400,000 or best offer for the naming rights . There is already a company named Elixar, but nothing with both Magic AND Elixar. I'll be rich! And then I'll want tax cuts. :-)
