It’s nut juice!

One of my favorite ‘general’ food hacks is to buy the pre-cooked pork at Harris Teeter (when on discount), dice it up, dice up a couple apples, and dice up a couple onions, add my sweet, smoky, and spicy seasoning combination to it, and cook it on the stove top...pork just goes so well with those, and thinking on it,…

If you’re still curious, I highly recommend Michael Willrich’s Pox, which is the story of forced smallpox vaccinations in the early 20th century. He goes into the science and the medicine of both the diseases and the vaccines (he talks about a lot of other stuff besides smallpox; that’s just the main pillar), and the…

Adult anti-vaxxers. Still dumber than the average bright 12 y/o.

Several anti-vax organizations have been pooling their collective intellectual powers

Well, yes and no. Some of these figures amount to 10 to 20% of the annual salary for a Congressman. The handout is more than the average American makes in a year, in many cases, and it’s only influential because the people receiving the money have so much unwarranted power over policy.

I can’t star this enough, Mayotonilla. I want to cross-stitch your comment on a pillow and send it to my Senators.

He truly is in his own little bubble, isn’t he? And the others, criticising those who would use this incident (added to all the others) to point out the need for stricter gun control laws for “using this tragic incident...to further agendas” whilst doing the same damn thing on the opposite side!

Nah, he doesn’t want to pretend he cares about GLBT people, but since he lives in Texas thinks it might be good to pretend to care about Latinos.

When you’re in the pockets of the NRA, you can’t say anything about making it harder for religious extremists to get guns.

Exactly. The government should talk about it. You and I? It doesn’t really matter what we talk about.

It’s a way for people to cop out of difficult conversations. Very common in Facebook: “stop politicizing a tragedy" etc.

It is precisely the government job to discuss what to do to prevent this in the future. Society can mourn but we pay those I tips with our hard earned tax dollars to do something about it. It’s their damn fucking job.

When are we going to pass a federal anti-corruption act and get lobbyists’ money out of politics?

I was looking for his response to the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shootings, for comparison, but I notice he was on the committee that “investigated” PP’s practices, so I’m going to go ahead and assume no thought and prayers were offered there, either.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why shouldn’t we be talking about gun control when something like this happens? Is it somehow outlandish for a government to look at a tragedy and think “how can I stop this from happening in the future?”

Best PR Team covering up something outrageous like an NFL QB who clearly used HGH in violation of NFL rules and federal law and then threw his wife under the bus as the likely drug user but still seems like an aw-shucks good guy so the NFL won’t bother to investigate the player or the team that sent to that clinic in…
