Overruling the objections of gun-rights advocates, the U.S. Senate on Monday confirmed Dr. Vivek Murthy, a British-born, American-educated internal medicine specialist, to become the 19th surgeon general of the United States.

The 51-43 vote makes Murthy, a 37-year-old graduate of Harvard University and Yale University Medical School, the third-youngest physician to lead the U.S. Public Health Service's 6,800 commissioned officers.

Murthy founded Doctors for America, a national physicians group that worked to pass the Affordable Healthcare Act, and has worked to promote HIV/AIDS education both in the United States and India. At Brigham & Womens Hospital in Boston, his research has focused on improving the quality of clinical trials, and expanding the participation of women and minorities in biomedical research.

Let's see...AIDS...

Men, don't have sex with men.

Everybody else...only have sex with the person of the opposite sex that you are married to.

Don't do drugs and don't share needles.

Follow these guidelines and HIV /AIDS will be an unpleasant memory.

When the bullets start flying, this bed-wetting bowl of Jell-o will be begging for armed guards to protect his prissy, little girl ass.

He should seriously think about slitting his Nazi throat before patriots hang him from a lamppost.
