Don't worry, it's a prescription

Courtesy Bob's blog, Bob Harris' response to Colin Powell's blunder-blubber about taking Ambien: "Everybody here uses Ambien."

Everybody where, Colin?

Ambien's common side effects include daytime drowsiness, dizziness, and changes in thinking and behavior. Less common but reported side effects include confusion, emotional instability, and an exaggerated feeling of well-being.

Ambien addiction is also more likely among people who have been dependent on alcohol and can cause amnesia.

Gee. Sound like anybody we know?

And can you freakin' imagine the firestorm if somebody in the Clinton administration had gushed about a drug like this in the middle of a war?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
