I would be incredibly furious if I got hit with hypertension from the drinking water. Or any of those problems, really. These people actually got poisoned by the government.

Rachel Maddow has been covering this extensively for several weeks now; in fact I’m certain the reason it’s getting national attention is because of all the time she’s spent discussing it. Do yourself a favor and listen to her take on it. She gets right to the heart of why this is all so infuriating (and shady as…

Another example of what happens without REGULATION and OVERSIGHT - it often winds up costing more plus horrific damage to people.

How we allow corporations and politicians to continue to use our children as stepping stones is appalling. Especially our most vulnerable and most margainilized. Whether it’s this or the closing of healthcare or the lack of basic meals. This country has let its future down. One can only hope these children forgive us…

Well she was valedictorian of her high school!

She’s so ‘I’m not like the girls. I’m COOL and SMART.’ Absolutely dislike her.

Fisher Price Circus Train. My Dad is a ham radio operator and I remember him calling Santa on his CB one Christmas Eve and asking Santa specfically for this. He never gave it to me. Sigh. I got a doll instead.

This was freedom, baby. (At least until the street lights came on and/or my father whistled for us).
