Ronald McDonald Promotes Obesity: Call in the Navy SEALS!

Fast Food or Front for Evil?

As Whistleblower readers know, I have a 6 day-a-week love affair with The New York Times. I love the paper’s reportage, but not its editorial policy. However, it’s important to seek out other views on the issues of the day. This is an opportunity to defend your beliefs by disarming the opposition’s argument, or to change your mind.

The news these days is very dark. There’s an apocalyptic aura as we read about terror, war and natural disasters occurring all over the globe. And, since we all like reading about villains, the news media readily supplies us with demons to root against and to distract us from more serious challenges that hover over us.

In this past week, there were four prime villains that the national media offered up for us to consume.
  • Osama bin Laden
  • Mouammar Khadafi
  • Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
  • Ronald McDonald
Don’t let Ronald’s sunny visage fool you. Behind his painted smile and underneath his red hair is an evil mind who is devoting his life to promoting obesity and ruining our kids. To recall a bold pronouncement issued by a prior Republican president who was poised to send troops into danger across the globe, ‘this aggression will not stand!’ Ronald must be stopped.

Full page ads appeared in several major newspapers asking McDonalds to fire Ronald McDonald, whose nefarious purpose is to lure mindless kids to ingest too much fat, too much sugar and too many calories. Even Happy Meal toys were targeted by the organizing group Corporate Accountability. They properly recognized that these ‘toys’ were dangerous mind control devices that subliminally cause cravings for Big Macs with extra cheese.

Where’s the outrage? How has this purveyor of poundage been permitted to operate freely for decades?

Hopefully, the Patriot Act has given law enforcement and the intelligence community enough tools to gather damning evidence against Ronald. I suspect that the Hamburglar is wearing a wire. Legal experts are already debating whether a future trial should take place in a civilian court or a military tribunal. I lean towards the latter, not wanting Ronald to have a public platform to spew his poisonous propaganda, which might include coded language to awaken sleeper cells.

What punishment would be just for such a demon? Gitmo? Solitary confinement in a federal prison? Perhaps, an entire year requiring Ronald to swallow 3 Happy Meals a day would be enough to rehabilitate him and to flip him to our side.

Once Ronald has been taken out, then we can focus on other villains who are plotting evil against us. Do you really think that Mickey Mouse and Goofy are just innocent cartoon characters?

When Should Doctors Retire?

I am asked with some regularity whether I am aiming to retire in the near term.  Years ago, I never received such inquiries.  Why now?   Might it be because my coiffure and goatee – although finely-manicured – has long entered the gray area?  Could it be because many other even younger physicians have given up their stethoscopes for lives of leisure? (Hopefully, my inquiring patients are not suspecting me of professional performance lapses!) Interestingly, a nurse in my office recently approached me and asked me sotto voce that she heard I was retiring.    “Interesting,” I remarked.   Since I was unaware of this retirement news, I asked her when would be my last day at work.   I have no idea where this erroneous rumor originated from.   I requested that my nurse-friend contact her flawed intel source and set him or her straight.   Retirement might seem tempting to me as I have so many other interests.   Indeed, reading and ...

Stop Medical Malpractice: The White Coat Wall of Silence

Photo Credit Leisure Guy, one of my most faithful commenters, opines that I am omitting an important aspect of the tort reform argument. He has implored me repeatedly to read a particular book that I suspect buttresses his views, but this worthy pursuit is simply not near the top of my priority pyramid. Since he’s retired, he enjoys the luxury of burrowing deeply into the base of his priority pyramid. With 4 tuitions to go, retirement is a distant mirage for me. I’m can be a ‘leisure guy’, but only in my dreams. I have written throughout this blog and elsewhere that there are too many frivolous lawsuits against physicians. I have admitted that caps on non-economic damages are not ideal, because they deny some worthy plaintiffs of complete compensation, but I support them because I believe they serve the greater good. I have ranted that there is no effective filter to screen out physicians who should never be invited to the litigation party in the first place. I believe that the...

Will Artificial Intelligence Become My Doctor?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is riding over the countryside and the globe on a tidal wave.  It will gather strength and will become a tsunami sooner than we think.  Like any tool, its use depends upon the intent of the user.   A hammer can be used to build but can also be used to break.  It can serve as a weapon.  The tool bears no culpability. We have no reliable way to prevent tools from being used for nefarious activities. I don’t think the solution is to eliminate hammers from society to reduce hammer violence.   The overall idealized strategy is to stifle dark intent lurking within people so that they might not consider taking evil actions. Sadly, we have all seen that this worthy task is far out of reach.   We simply don’t have a tool to accomplish this. A tool with many uses. AI will be a tool like no other.   It will deliver preternatural benefits in every sphere of society. I predict that it will make the internet seem quaint by ...
