With all the insanity going on in the world today, that new version of the DSM should probably have a apecial category ceveloped for the wide variety of "Psychopolitical Disorders" we are all witness to every day. The latest podcast of The Sanity Squad , now posted at Pajamas Media includes our tongue-in-cheek (and less than respectful) discussion of up-and-coming political syndromes.
Run of the mill narcissicism is simply not cutting it anymore as the daily dose of politics rises to ever higher levels of insanity and ridiculousness. The Sanity Squad has come up with a plethora of new disorders for the all the politically conscious lunatics among us. From Frankly Regressive Acute Utopian Disorder (FRAUD), and clinical political paranoia with or without conspiracy theory, to KimJongillomania (a political leader's obsession with their hair), Culture-Related Acute Psychosis (see if you can figure out that acronym), and Carter Martyrism. Let this week’s podcast be your guide to the future of crazy!
Join Shrinkwrapped, Neo-neocon, Siggy and me as we irreverantly revise the DSM for future political punditry.
