Well, I'm on my fifth shot. Why do I do it? Because I follow the recommendations of my doctor, the VA Medical Center, the FDA, the CDC, and the NIH. Because I don't consider watching YouTube videos and cherry-picking statistics "doing research."

Of course they did. "Deal with your own kind." In Jim Crow states and even non-Jim Crow states, every Black community had churches, stores, schools, doctors, lawyers, and everything the White community had. Just less, worse, and more poorly funded.

It's a eternal balancing act. What constitutes "safe and effective?" Let's take money out of it, and assume all players are working at cost and experiencing no financial gain. Still, how much testing do you do? What level of safety is safe? One bad outcome in 1000? One in 100,000? And...

I think the idea is to prevent discrimination in commerce. Is it important here and now? Not sure. But it sure was with Black people in the South in the 60s. Important enough to kill and die for.

Nope. And nope. The whole "non-discrimination" deal in the U.S. is based on two things. . . the Fourteenth Amendment and non-discrimination laws. The 14th says that states must provide "equal protection of the laws" to all. So, yes, discrimination based on dress would be forbidden. . . if it...

Modesty on the taxpayers' dime is just good sense and good politics. I'd laugh at anybody who complained that Justin and the Fun Bunch shoulda stayed in a cheap chain hotel in Luton to save twenty bucks. That's asking too much. But staying in a medium-price hotel woulda given them a great...

Would you say the same to a Black customer refused service by a White baker? Or to a White customer refused entry by a Black restaurant owner? Or, since this is allegedly about religious belief, a Christian baker who refused service to Jews because "they killed Christ?" We used to have a...

Laetrile? Prayer? Veterinary de-wormer?

Larry Niven wrote an hysterical short story called Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex, in which he pointed out that Superman, regardless of his appearance, is an alien from another star system. (He was positing this as a possible explanation of Supe's apparent indifference to Lois being in...

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." --Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz

How does he shave? Laser eyes and a mirror. Get a haircut? Laser eyes and two mirrors. Work out? Bench a small planet.

Sounds soshulist to me.

Allthing still meets every year. Bring back BoreJo. He is Britain now.

"World's Oldest Democracy." It's not, the Icelandic Allthing has met every year since 930 AD (CE for the tender).

The Spirit of the Blitz! (21st-century edition).

It's hard to imagine how the Twaveling Twucktards could have been less harmful.

When I think of the brutal oppression straight White guys have suffered in the Americas, it just breaks my heart.

Which democratic man is he dating?

And yet persons convicted of these crimes lose none of their Bill of Rights rights, except as is consistent with their incarceration, and don't lose their citizenship (nor their obligation to register for the draft). They do, however, amusingly generally lose their right to possess firearms...
