[FRIAM] Reasons why we elect narcissists

[Frank Wimberly]

My homunculus is not a dadblasted larva.

Good job by a couple of officers in the US Navy Medical Corps.  Two such
physicians did a biopsy on my scaly knee when I was 8.  They removed a
pea-sized piece of skin and said that that their presumptive diagnosis of
psoriasis was correct and that there's no cure.
