Actually, I think this is legit road rage. We know this guy is involved in a high speed chase; they don't. Granted, it's a pretty bad accident, but if someone's brakes go out, for example, that person doesn't deserve to get the everloving shit kicked out of them.

Nope. That's still serious sociopathic behavior.

Jon Stewart always gave me a way to work through the anger and frustration and ridiculousness and wrongdoings of politics and people.

So the great Comedy Host purge of 2014/15 continues.

When their mistakenness manifests in a stubborn toxic narcissism that refuses to consider the damage done to others in the community, I think some invective is warranted. Death is only the tip of the iceberg — these diseases deformed, disabled and ruined the entire lives of hundreds of thousands of people before their

Wow, thank you so much for this well-written piece.

My wife and I just got back from the doctors office for our baby's one year check up, and he got his MMR vaccine (and a couple other shots as well, and he took it like a champ!). I love the smell of vaccinations in the morning!

I feel like Big Pharma must have my address wrong, bc I have yet to receive my check for BIG CASHall this cash I'm supposed entitled to

That's what happens in a lot of other countries. You show up to school one day and the nurse is there. Everyone gets in line and gets vaccinated. That's it. no permission slips, or forms, or notices. Ya just get vaccinated and get on with life and no one cares.

Bones looks like he has the mumps.

Back in the 1950's my brother who was 7 and my sister who was 5 contracted the measles. My sister ran the course and was healthy again within a few weeks. My brother was not so lucky. He began to develop calcium deposits all over his body. Those deposits eventually also attacked his organs. His muscles began to be
