Better Living Through Chemistry


From The New York Times:


Mr. McCain’s doctors reported that Mr. McCain takes a variety of medications:
simvastatin to control his cholesterol levels; hydrochlorothiazide for kidney stone prevention; aspirin for blood clot prevention; Zyrtec, an antihistamine as necessary for nasal allergies; Ambien CR, as necessary for sleep when traveling; and a multiple vitamin tablet.


----------------------------------------------


I'll bet he also takes serious pain medication for his arthritis. And mood stablizers to keep that explosive temper in check.

Doctors tell us McCain enjoys good health for a man his age, and the various drugs he takes are those typically prescribed to a man his age.

The operative phrase is "a man his age". Paul Newman looks great for "a man his age" - but he ain't Brad Pitt.
