Dubya is getting his colon scanned for cancer - I didn't think he cared about such difficult punctuation. The amusing thing about this is that just now, about nine hours after this hit news, there was an advertisement on TV for getting a colonoscopy. Yes, Dubya is popularising colon cancer amongst hypochondriacs. But this begs several questions - did Bush warn the medical advertising commission that he was going to be so tested? Did someone in medical advertising taunt him about his unstable colon in order to force their advertisement into relevance? Did they make and air the advertisement within a 9 hour period? Or do they just have advertisements at the ready for a whole bunch of diseases, ready to be whipped out the instant anyone famous does something disease-related? Perhaps all of the above.
