I think this gets the LOL stamp:

...he will call on the US Government to increase funding for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “so that it is recognised as a watchdog with a full set of teeth”.

The last thing that pharma wants is for the FDA to have a full set of teeth. If the FDA were fully independent and fully functional, then a lot of very bad drugs backed by some very questionable studies would have never come to market. A lot fewer people would have been harmed and pharma could have saved some of its pocket change that it uses for settlements.

in reference to: AstraZeneca chief executive will call on the US Government to give the Food and Drug Administration ‘a full set of teeth’ at Kerentech (view on Google Sidewiki)
