I hope they grill him beyond the 14 pre-approved yes-no questions that the House Intelligence Committee are “allowed” to ask.

Because socialism = communism. And we hate commies.

This is one of the reasons why I am still in my relatively low-paying job: I get great medical benefits that I don’t have to pay for. My biggest fear in leaving it for a higher-paying job is that the medical benefits would suck and I would actually be taking less home then I currently do. It’s comforting to know that…

Let’s not forget that he gives (gave?) his employees only two weeks paid vacation, but complained that even that was too much.

Just took a look. Apparently, I’ve been a Satanist and didn’t know it.

Wait until she finds out that Jefferson cut up multiple bibles and pasted them together so that he could exclude passages that spoke of supernatural occurrences and the divinity of Jesus. Then she’ll just faint when she hears that Jefferson didn’t consider him to divine at all! He viewed Jesus more as a philosopher…

Keas were in the news recently because they keep moving traffic cones in construction areas. So some bird experts built a roadside gym to keep them occupied. It remains to be seen if it has worked.

You can order the biscuits by the half-dozen. I did that one time for NYE. If you are really nice, sometimes they throw in one or two extra. I’m just grateful they don’t deliver.

My sister keeps putting off, saying, “It’s only 30% effective. What’s the use?”. To which I responded, “It’s the difference between having the flu and being in the hospital and having the flu and being able to stay home.” She still hasn’t gotten it.

My sister did this and even though my mother’s side is mostly German (with some Irish) and my father’s side is decidedly Irish, Ancestry said that she was 64% Irish, 6% German, and like 20% Great British (with 3% Scandinavian). But what Ancestry doesn’t take into account is that there are very few really native…

Years ago, our research coordinator (I work in a research lab) would regale us tales from when he was an ER nurse. I called it, “Storytime with Bill”. He had some of the funniest stories.

Unfortunately, this is the point I am at too. I want to have faith in people. I really do! It’s just way too hard.

I agree. There is almost nothing that a doctor has not seen or encountered. And even if you were unlucky enough to have something they haven’t seen, they would be intrigued rather than disgusted.

This is my favorite science quote (even if it’s not true).

Now that would be a conversation I would love to listen in on.

I’m at the point where I want to say, “Go ahead and drink your raw water. It’ll help the gene pool.” But I usually end up shaking my head and finding some cute puppies to calm me.

I stocked up on canned soup these past few months. It came out to be about $1 a can (meaning $1 a lunch). It’s also great when I am out the night before and didn’t have time to prepare lunch. I’ve also been doing a Spanish tortilla-like bake for breakfast. It takes a bit of time to prepare, but is delicious and…

He does do his “yuge” motion at around 2:30, with no one talking. It’s like he just caught up with the conversation.

I don’t think you understood the Lyme vaccine example. The vaccine passed and was in use until people started to report side effects that did not show up in the trials. These side effects were found to NOT be caused by the vaccine, but the bad press caused by these reports caused the company to pull the vaccine from…

It’s one thing to give up responsibility legally, it’s another to be held responsible by the public. The current atmosphere is very much anti-science, with “Big Pharma” and flat-earthers. Take a look at the vaccine for Lyme disease: While the clinical results were extremely good, the reports of vaccine-acquired…
