In my profession, it is obviously important to be able to tell the difference between "normal" and "paranoid delusional". In some cases, it is so obvious that even non-psychiatrists find it easy to identify. Here is a good example of blatant paranoia (hat tip: Michele Catalano) via the frequently psychotic site known as the Democratic Underground. What stimulated this outbreak of psychosis? General Shalikashvili, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, just had a stroke. Of course, it is all part of Bush's evil plan for world domination, since Shalikashvili was an advisor to Kerry. I expect Howard Dean to express his thoughts on the subject in the near future.
