Because when your God-King's ratings are in the sewer line

it's so much easier to yell "Racism!" or "Sexist!" than to deal with it.  And the idiocy that's behind it.
Michael Dyson and Zerlina Maxwell, our current prime examples.
And guys?  It's not working well anymore; everyone except your devoted followers is so sick of hearing this crap that they either ignore it, or wonder "What're they trying to hide with this bullshit?".


A bit of Kennedy history I'd not heard before.


" 'My administration will be transparent' means 'You get to see what I want you to, when I want you to'."


Nothing says "We're screwed if they see the price tags!" like "Delay this(illegally, but so what) till after the election!"


A post-antibiotic world... I can't find the quote, but years ago read a bit about someone asking (I think) Florence Nightingale about the idea of antibiotics, and she said she loved the idea but 'feared that doctors and nurses would become dependent on them, and stop proper practices of cleaning and hygiene, and thus wind up with more problems.'
While looking for that quote, I ran across this(among others) on the subject of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Have some friends who are nurses who're dealing with this crap all the time; it's not going to be fun in the future.


Franken is one of the panicked who was pleading with Obama to do something to stop the medical device tax when they realized what damage it would do in their states; now it's Franken has so far been relatively quiet about potential changes to the health-care law, but he now joins a growing group of Senate Democrats in seats that could be targeted by the GOP in 2014 who are speaking up on the issue.


Unrelated to any of the above, all the screaming about the lady whacking a lion caused me to try to find a show I saw several years ago on African lions; haven't found it, but did find these two, both from the BBC.
