Gullible.

At least he didn’t use a Sharpie… Wendy P.

Hi folks, IMO it's nice to be in the largest group: What’s your religion? In US, a common reply now is “None” - OPB From the article: According to a survey released Tuesday . . . this group . . . now constitutes 29% of American adults. "If the unaffiliated were a religion, they'd be the largest religious group in the United States," Jerry Baumchen

Your concern should be allowing the world to get back to a somewhat normal way of life, which is what would happen if a larger percentage of people were vaccinated. ICU admissions would be down massively, deaths would be down massively, and the rest of us would benefit from no longer being held hostage by fucktards who are either misinformed or disingenuous. For the general population at large the available vaccines have a major impact on reducing deaths and serious outcomes from covid, that is the whole point. There is a viable way to largely eliminate most of the death and serious illness, and people are refusing it, and they are fucking over the whole of society with the consequences of their actions. We care about transmission and lethality, do you think we would have had to live the last two years if this was less harmful than the common cold?

You are spot on; Tom was special in many ways. As a long time NE jumper, I met Tom at one of those Herd “thingys”, for such a disciplined man he was also at ease with us scoundrels and genuinely open to being a friend too. He let his actions do the “talking”.

All important points worthy of recognition and recital as the miserable bastard is dragged to the hangin' tree. The one thing that would help make the rest of us feel better, cause it ain't jealousy over his money don't you know, would be if stock used to acquire another company was heavily taxed at transfer and something similar to a property tax was levied on stock gains on stock held instead of capital gains tax at stock sale. Losses of course would need to be deductible. Also, we get to use his yacht sometimes.

I think the thing about home tax is that property tax and school tax reflect the value of the home as it goes up, not what you paid for it, in most jurisdictions. Even when you built the house yourself (as my father did with a family property they bought for $500 in 1953 -- annual taxes on it now are well over 10 times that amount) Wendy P.

I don't think GOP pols are confused. They know perfectly well what they are doing to our democracy. It's their followers, who think they have the good of society as a goal, who are confused.

Good morning and seasons greetings fellow heathen. Good morning and Merry Christmas.

Yes always loved his sense of humor! After he came back after his surgery to remove a brain tumor he said that now he can pinch a girls butt and then just say it was the tumor. Then he looked at me and said " now if I pinch your butt then it really is the brain tumor!"

I really wish they would get his meds right.

If deadly hurricanes ripping through the Midwest in December isn't a testament for climate change, the I don't know what is.
