Is the government spying on schizophrenics enough?

A skit from 17 YEARS AGO on The Onion about exactly what is happening here.
Hym "Is the government spying on schizophrenics enough? It's entirely manufactured illness so... Yes? They are like Nurse Rachet or Mother Teresa. Creating the illness so that they can use a cure that they know will not be effective for anything other than restricting the rights of the populous, selectively and arbitrarily, or instrumentally as a way to silence dissidents. Which has already happened in other countries. Like China."

zombie government

A non or partly-functioning government usually with several vacant ministerial posts and a caretaker Prime Minister, who can only do certain things until a successor is elected. Usually, this is seen as a reason that a general election must be called.
“We have a zombie government and a prime minister missing in action. The country deserves better during this time of national crisis.” - Christine Jardine, Liberal Democrat MP

Government Shot

A type of small alcoholic beverage, taken as a shot with a 'back' to chase it, named for a conspiracy theory which posits that the U.S. government invented it as part of a health trend to get people to buy more vodka and pay more excise tax on liquors. The shot is usually taken as follows: 1-2 ounces of Vodka (usually Tito's gluten free) taken as a shooter, followed by a chaser mixing olive oil, turmeric, and Bragg's liquid amino. The sourness of the amino sometimes causes people to gag after the vodka, but if one can keep it down, the olive oil is supposed to help coat the stomach against the acidity and soak up some of the alcohol, preventing hangovers.
I went to Erewhon this morning with Tabither, and afterwards we went out on the Strip and took Government Shots all night- I mean, I've got a shoot tomorrow. I've gotta be fresh in the mornings, but I've gotta party, too. The Government is underrated.

Labour Government

An extremely painful experience, similar to a lobotomy, that is likely to last up to 5 years, with mind numbing levels of taxation on workers and employers alike. The concept was started by some oddball called Ramsay MacDonald who was Prime Minister of a Labour minority government in 1924, but fortunately that bunch of losers only lasted for 9 months - phew! The second occasion that Ramsay MacDonald led a Labour Government between 1929 and 1931 conditions were so bad, it was called the Great Depression!
Yes, amazingly there's some bloke down our pub, who know's someone, who's friend's mother-in-law actually voted for this Labour Government - I know I didn't believe it either!
