Isn't it great that some people still have a sense of humor in this country?Har: Firm offers "mental stimulus" to forgetful corruptocrats
I love it. A biotech firm in Wisconsin has stepped up to the plate with its own stimulus — a stimulant for government officials who can't remember to pay their taxes and follow the laws.
Via the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
A Madison biotech company is offering what it is calling a mental stimulus package to government officials who forget to pay their taxes.
Quincy Bioscience will provide free bottles of its flagship brain-enhancing supplement, Prevagen, to any member of Congress or the Obama administration who has forgotten to pay taxes during the last 10 years, the company said this morning.
"We're confident that after 30 to 60 days of taking the supplement, most legislators and government officials will recall, without being reminded by aides or reporters, all tax periods for which they have forgotten to pay state or federal income taxes," Quincy Bioscience president Mark Underwood said in a news release.
Prevagen is so effective it also should help most government officials recall when they failed to make Social Security and Medicare contributions for undocumented household workers, Underwood said.
Wonder if it will work on Commerce Secretary picks who can't remember the details of their Chinagate campaign finance scandals?
Of course, they'll probably never get any federal funding again, but I suppose that when the Feds come knocking at the door about this statement they could just say it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is. Too bad this company isn't publicly traded...I think I'd like to own stock in them.
I also find a great deal of irony in the fact that Prevagen is made primarily from spineless jellyfish. Hmmm...
There's my two cents.
