*Haven't heard from the Verichip human-injection schemers lately. Makes sense they'd show up with Newt Gingrich in tow.
*The "Center for Health Transformation." Yeah, that's transformative health all right: you're an old, weak, helpless, broke Baby Boomer in a wrecked society top-heavy with the elderly. Livestock tracking injections, utter lack of privacy? A small price to pay!
*Maybe I can get my Facebook profile to boot up automagically when I bring my subcutaneous scanner tag within scanner range. It'll make up for the fact that Alzheimer's has robbed me of my ability to remember a password.
