As any good statistician knows, deaths from legally prescribed drugs far outstrip those from illegal ones. Not that John McCain's favourite pill - Ambien - has been linked with deaths, only hallucinations and somnambulism:
"Ambien is the sleep aid that was at the center of a class action lawsuit after users noticed bizarre side effects, like getting up in the middle of the night and cooking huge meals, then leaving the burners at full blast and going back to bed. I remember reading one man’s account. He said he heard sounds from the kitchen and found his wife tearing open a package of hamburger buns, "like a grizzly bear."
So maybe McCain is the man for the job - a sleepwalking president for a sleepwalking nation.
