Interesting sidebar in the local paper the udder day: Bill Gates, Jefe de Las Ventanas and philanthropist extranerdinaire, is donating $42 million to a San Francisco based non-profit drug company working on a cure for malaria. The cure is based on an ancient Chinese remedy and what these genetic alchemists are attempting to do is cheaply synthesize artemisinin.
Artemisinin, as everyone knows, is only found in wormwood.
Now we're all intelligent people here and as such we know that when it comes to our nation's mass media the important thing is to read between the lines. And you don't have to squint at these lines too hard to see what's going on here:
Bill Gates is manufacturing absinthe!
That goofy billionaire bastard is gonna be hiding in the tower of his redwood-shaded Seattle fortress spooning endless vials of green-dementia onto fine imported sugar-cubes and having a wickedly grande ol' time while we, who ironically live in the shadow of his bohemian brewery, sip Chuck Shaw's finest and smile cause we just don't know any better. I can hear that bastard laughing now..
