A post-election e-mail to executives at the drug company GlaxoSmithKline: "We now have fewer allies in the Senate," says the internal memo. The defeat of Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) "creates a big hole we will need to fill," the e-mail says.

Meanwhile, I can't afford to buy my heart medication you slimy bastards. You can read about people going without their medication, but until it happens to you, you don't quite "feel the pain".

This song is applicable to all of K Street and Big Pharma as well as Little Ricky...

Another suitcase in another hall

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it -- wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me -- and they do

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by you always have before
Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of this sad occasion
But that's no consolation -- here and now

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?
Don't ask anymore
