I’m gonna need some more popcorn for that convention.

Where did they come from?…doesn’t seem it could have been form anywhere on earth.

That the Doc in his Cartoon surely does resemble Sigmun Freud. Perfect for the Elephant as Freudian Psychoanalysis is based* in the very area the Elephant needs help with:

1. Human behavior…largely determined by irrational drives.

2. That those drives are largely…unconscious.

3. That attempts to bring those drives into awareness meet psychological resistance in the form of defense mechanisms…mechanisms like religious dogma and the selective denial of reality—like the poor, the elderly, the disabled, minority people and groups, and scientific research data, to name a few.

4. That beside the inherited constitution of personality, one’s development is determined by events in early childhood (Hmmmm, think of that).

5. That conflicts between the conscious view of reality and the unconscious ‘repressed’ material can result in mental disturbances such as neurosis, neurotic traits, anxiety, depression etc. which is exacerbated by the view from behind the rose colored sun glasses of the pious and/or the ultra-rich.

6. That the liberation from the effects of the unconscious material is achieved through bringing this material into the consciousness (via e.g. skilled guidance)…where upon enters Doctors Koch and Koch.

A classic preexisting condition.

The long-sleeved polo shirt was a huge mistake for Al Gore in 2000, and the sweater vest will pull the plug on Santorum in November. That’s what it says here, anyway. . .
