I want bipartisan legislation.  But I don’t see that happening in today’s political climate.  Any legislation with a hint of what the Democrats want, will be rejected by Republicans.  Look at the way current votes are.  Obama tried the bipartisan path.  I can appreciate that.  It didn’t work with the party of NO. …

It’s a new kind of vaccine made using mRNA. No vaccine has been made like this before. If there was more time, perhaps scientists could come up with a better way to preserve the COVID vaccine, but we don’t have that. So we’re reliant on refrigeration to keep the delicate mRNA intact.  It degrades pretty quickly at…

As a scientist, I’ve been harping about this for months about the vaccine. It’s going to be great but a motherfucker to distribute especially those in rural, less populated areas. At best, I can hope there will be mass vaccination of nursing homes, but we’ll see.  I’ve been telling many people to expect masking and…

I work in the boob business. There are actually 2 universities - one in the UK and another in Australia, that actually do breast and bra research, mostly regarding breast movement. They do help some companies design sports bras. But I’m also guessing the research, like so much in the way of research, is focused on…

I wish I knew.  QAnon and 45ism is a damn cult.  How do get people to leave a cult?  But with the way the pandemic is going, that may thin the herd.  There are already reports of sick people with COVID in the Dakotas, yelling at the nurses they have lung cancer instead of COVID.  I don’t want to wish death or sickness…

Ah, the party of “personal responsibility”. I wish everyone was personally responsible and always made good and right decisions. But that’s not the world we live in. Yeah, telling people that police will come to their home, if they have friends over, seems like a bit much. But without consequences, or at least the…

I’m 39, married with no kids. I don’t think kids were ever going to be a part of my future. But I always wondered if I’d regret not having them. This year, and all of its horrors, has made me glad I don’t have to deal with that extra stress. My plate already felt full, between work and other things going on in my…

That’s essentially my signature now.  Back when I worked in pharmaceutical manufacturing, I’d have to sign batch records in 65226658412 places every day.  After doing that day in, day out, I got very lazy with my signature.  

True story.  I live in Georgia.  For the primary election in the Spring, I requested an absentee ballot for the first time in ages, not knowing what the pandemic would bring.  My ballot was almost rejected due to a signature match.  When I first moved to Georgia, a decade ago, I at least used to try to sign my name…

Of course.  This is his priority - not the raging pandemic, and the thousands of Americans who are sick and dying.  After the election, I was hoping to cut back on my alcohol consumption, but I don’t see that happening until that turd is out of the White House in January.  

Ugh. I was looking at the US per capita COVID map on the John Hopkins website today. Compared to other states in the Midwest, Michigan doesn’t look too terrible, even Detroit. Governor Whitmer has done her job, well. I have family in northern Indiana, just across the Michigan border, and it’s bad. Really bad. I get…

I say good, but we’ll see if it actually happens. If the Democrats don’t get the Senate after the Georgia runoff election, all Biden really has are Executive Orders. He can still do some things, but it’s going to be unpopular. Seriously, fuck Mitch McConnell.

True.  But I wonder if any of them will try something or mail letters filled with stuff to them, like that one guy from Florida.  

Hmm...I wonder what they thought of the McCain / Palin ticket in 2008. McCain was 72 when he ran, and had previous health issues. Palin was a moron.  

Exactly. In some ways I’m glad he is so incompetent. If he was, I couldn’t imagine the destruction he’d cause. Although, it’s all still so worrisome. I also fear his radicalized base. Even if he does get taken from the White House, kicking and screaming, I question what nefarious plans his base will have for Biden /…

Yup. My mother who is almost 70, immunocompromised, asthmatic, and a smoker of 30+ years, decided it would be fun to go to Texas, the South Padres Islands with friends, a few weeks ago.  She didn’t get sick, but I don’t get why she’d take such risks.  She has given up.  She’s like, if I get it, I get it.  I had a good…

Many years ago, my local grocery store used to carry 12 packs of Tab.  I bought some, as I was curious.  I actually preferred it over Diet Coke.  Tab was a bit spicier to me.  Anyways, I kicked my daily Diet Coke habit awhile back, and now I can’t tolerate the way in much of Diet Coke or other sodas.  

I think Stacey Abrams had the right idea. It’s going to be difficult to win over Republicans let alone Democrats turned Republicans, no matter if you run the most centrist, moderate Democrat. The Fox News / Breitbart / OAN news bubble has demonized Democrats. And compromise is a dirty word. Trying to win over the…

I don’t know either.  Biden has said he’s not 100% against fracking, he’s not far left, he’s not radical, he’s not pro Medicare For All.  I don’t think it’s said 100% directly, as he was also trying to win further Left voters.  Still, even if Biden had been direct, I don’t think it would have mattered much to people…

The thing with Republicans and their news sources, they’ve gotten the demonization of Democrats down. How could Biden who was too moderate for the Liberal / progressive wing of the Democratic party be a socialist? However, those narratives and messaging work, and work well, sadly. For shits and giggles, my husband and…
