You suffer from automonosis—the tendency to become bored with your own company. If you need to get away from yourself, here's a tip: you don't have to die in order to be reincarnated. People who don't like themselves often find happiness when they become somebody else. Companies that advertise in the backs of magazines are ready to assist in this transformation. If there are compelling personal reasons for not changing your identity, perhaps a trip to a spa for a simple makeover will do the trick.

Cynthia McKinney Will Challenge Primary Results
Aug 13, 2006, 11:23
ATLANTA, Ga. - Democrat Cynthia McKinney, Georgia's first African-American congresswoman, is legally challenging the results of Tuesday's primary election, which she lost by a 16-percent margin and 11,000 votes.
McKinney charges "fraud and corruption" for her loss in a run-off-race bid to hold on to her seat in congress. She was defeated by Democrat opponent Hank Johnson, who got 58 percent of the vote.
While Republicans were disappointed with the results, as their favorite loose cannon will no longer we rattling around the Capitol grounds, McKinney's fellow Democrats were quick to say nothing about her defeat.
After her previous booting from her congressional seat in 2002, McKinney's father blamed her loss on the "J-E-W-S, Jews." McKinney would have blamed this latest defeat on racism, but her opponent is black, so she blamed the media, which have been responsible for covering her words and acts.
Professional political analysts who have looked at the results carefully say McKinney's defeat is best blamed on Georgians.
Congressperson McKinney's greatest accomplishments during her twelve-year tenure in the House of Representatives include being charged with assault on a police officer, publicly supporting the brutal dictatorial regime of Robert Mugabe, which has reduced Zimbabwe to destitution, pointing out that "Al Gore's Negro tolerance level has never been too high," refusing to join in a Congressional resolution condemning the anti-semitism of Louis Farrakhan, sponsoring H.R. 4968 ("To provide for the expeditious disclosure of records relevant to the life and death of Tupac Amaru Shakur") and, of course, treason.

Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno did not die of a broken heart, as many of his delusional followers are claiming. He died of a guilty conscience. Anybody who says otherwise is a toadying douchebag.
