Good Saturday morning, Glibs. Now that OMWC has posted about SP, I don’t have to keep the schtick up, which is good because I was running out of ideas. I’ll spend today installing a crib and dresser. Baby is just about fully baked. Looks like he’s going to be another big one. I’m going to be surrounded by giants. Which will be great when I need furniture moved, I guess.
I’m sure the aliens will be pleased we don’t just have phallic spacecraft. Sure, it takes 11 times as long to assemble, and there’s no guarantee it will get off, but other than that, what’s the problem?
Who’s gonna complain about giving the guy who ran Moderna $1B when he leaves? Not the shareholders.

“We want to restore gender equality to the cosmos,” said the group.
“We dare to change the status quo in space travel: new shapes in space will revolutionize our thinking, our actions and everything we have thought to be true.”
I want out of this clown car.
Those people are mentally ill.
If only it were constrained to non-serious things like spaceship aesthetics.
It’s the constant need for an enemy that is scaring the shit out of me. They’re too stupid to not pick one who can annihilate the planet.
In the name of equality, I demand the creation of more vulva shaped edge weapons.

Why are so many adults in such a goddamn hurry to destroy the innocence of children? A seven year old shouldn’t be considering their inherent sexuality, especially during school hours. This push to make them do so is creepy as fuck.

Seriously; gay, bi, straight, let’s just leave the kids be.

Ha!
Ya, I pretty much hate everything nowadays.
“Let the kids be”
That’s what seems like it should be completely self-evident. Most kids, while they do recognize that boys and girls are “different”, don’t know what sex, as in copulation. Is until puberty looms directly ahead, and they don’t need to know details of all the different ways people “do it” when they are in 2nd grade.
This is sick.
I remember learning the word Fuck when I was 6-7 years old. We knew it was a “bad” word, but we couldn’t figure out what it meant. And when an older friend’s older brother tried to explain it to us, it when completely over our heads.
I very much doubt most critics even know what the law says. They picked up the meme from some ill informed proggies and ran with it.
Nor supporters for that matter. Facts aren’t important to either side – stoking outrage is the game.
How dare You!
Why are so many adults in such a goddamn hurry to destroy the innocence of children?
At the risk of seeing a commie under every bed, I think this it it intentional on the part of the neo-marxists/cultural marxists. In many cases, explicitly intentional. It’s a means of separating children from their parents and making parents enemies. Thus resulting in more young people more amenable to the revolution.

Let me know how you like it. I’ve had my eye on that one.
Does it have the thing that goes up?
after 3 days of all restriction being lifted in Romania, about 10-15% of people on the streets still wear masks; 20-25% in stores still wear masks. and 40% in the subway. My eyeball estimates
Those aren’t masks, they’re paintball targets.
Thusfar, you’ve hit 0% of targets. Do better.
In NYC it varies greatly by neighborhood and ethnicity, but our percentages are much higher than that. Especially on the subway where Biden is still following the science™.
Nobody in the Stewart’s shop was wearing a mask when I went in this past Thursday; a substantial (but lower than previously) percentage were still masked at Hannaford.
Hey rhywun, I am going to be in Brooklyn in a couple of weeks, what is the standard there? Do I need to carry a mask in my pocket just in case, do I need to show vax status? What can I do, or not do?
There are no longer any mandated restrictions anywhere except for the federally-imposed ones in all forms of public transportation and for pre-school children because that makes sense.
If someone says otherwise just go next door.
Sounds good, and thank you Sir!
So the more crowded the place the more masks. It’ll take some people a bit of time to let their guard down and put away their talismans but it’ll happen.

Lita’s in the Fort Worth stockyards was a lunch burger. The old broad started it after the war and worked it by herself until her death maybe ten years ago.
You yelled your order at her as you came in, then went over to one of those deep coolers to get a soda or beer, and then sat down.
Ten minutes later she brought you a burger medium all the way no matter how you ordered it.
When you were done, you went to the till and threw your money in and made your own change.
I never saw her so much as look up from the oven.
That video satisfies someone’s fetish, I’m sure.

Back in the day, doctors showed up to your house and you paid them in cash, cheque, or chickens/canned goods.
Nobody else was involved except a nurse or midwife.
Good times, good times.
Also, modern medical billing was significantly better a mere 13 years ago.
What was that monumental thing that happened in 2009? Hmm…
I guess we’re “finding out what was in it”.
that monumental thing
in my world it’s very hard to tell if something is going/gone to shit or it’s just a bad case of the Memphis (we can fuck up a Chick-fil-A)
It’s bad everywhere due to the bizarre group insurance / employer group negotiations etc. Healthcare is one of the few potentially MAJOR financial obligations where you cannot get any kind of estimate before you commit to treatment, whether it’s elective surgery, medicine, therapy, etc. Of course in emergencies you don’t have much choice, but in the other cases, no one knows what it’s going to cost until the bill comes 2 months later.
When my husband’s invoice came in from his heart surgery, aneurism surgery, hospitalization at Scripps for weeks, etc, it was just over one million dollars. But there was that all important “insurance negotiation/discount” that brought it down to a mere $1200 that we personally had to pay.
Now, I don’t doubt that it did cost a million bucks: many nurses, doctors, anesthetists, orderlies, etc. spent many hours caring for him, and lots of equipment, IV bags, medicine, food went into the man. But how the heck does it balance out with the insurance companies?
And do the Saudi sheiks who come to Scripps for their open heart surgery just write the check out for their million dollars?
We give out of pocket estimates every day. What’s not predictable, for what we do, is exactly what your course will be.
Cardiology/cardiac surgery has good margins. It didn’t cost a million dollars; that’s an artifact of the anachronistic “charge master” prices, which nobody really uses or pays. Trust me, the doctors and hospital did just fine. As did the insurance company on whatever group your husband is part of on their books.
I had one doc who was treating my (badly) broken leg back in 2003. When it was finally time to get out of the last cast after the surgery to remove the syndesmotic screw, I needed a brace while my shriveled muscles strengthened up.
It was a fairly simple thing made of aluminum, plastic, foam, and velcro. The doc said, “You know what this costs to make?” I guessed $40. He said “Pretty much. You know what they are going to charge for it? $480. That’s because your insurance says that the max cost they will cover for a recovery brace is $480.”
He liked to get on a soapbox about medical insurance sleight of hand.
It’s funny, but I know what I’ll pay for dental care. I can even get options on treatments for my animals. But get a firm quote on what some medical treatment for myself is going to cost me? What do you think we are – auto mechanics?
Back in the day, doctors showed up to your house
Can confirm. Apparently I was a very sickly young lad, and Dr. Stiller was a frequent house guest. I believe the standard fee was “pay what you can” which was not much in Mom’s case /cue Winston’s Mom jokes.
That’s cool that it was still that way in your lifetime. And nobody had to advertise on TV to get your mom to ask the megaclinic if neomoxiclan is right for her son. She just “called the doctor”.
Working all night, I listen to one of our local talk radio stations. Seems “house calls” are making a comeback, with at least 2 doctors advertising that they’re available for that service. I dont know how/if insurance would reconcile payment.
For a time when I was un-insured and not on VA status, when I saw my family doc Id tell him upfront “Im self-pay so go easy on me”. More often than not I was just charged for the office visit. He would waive lab charges under “professional courtesy”. I really miss that guy- he retired.
When Obama blessed the nation with the Affordable Care Act, one of its requirements was that all medical records had to be computerized, not kept in physical file folders. (presumably for easier government snooping.)
One rogue reporter covered the story of a rural doctor way out somewhere where she was the only doctor for hundreds of miles, so she took care of everyone in the greater area. It was just her and a part-time nurse/receptionist. The doc was 55 years old and not particularly computer savvy, nor did she have the money to contract out the setting up of a computer system to handle the records.
So she was forced by law to retire. All of her former patients now have to travel for hours to bigger clinics or forego care altogether.
I hope she reopened as a black market doc, working for cash or trade.
I can see a circumstance where such a person provides unofficial diagnosis and lay treatment for free, but has many friends who give gifts whenever they see her.
Im self-pay so go easy on me
My youngest sees a neurologist for migraines. He’s on my wife’s insurance, and when that changed we found out that the neurologist did not take that insurance. We settled on a flat fee of $100 (he goes twice a year), which seems reasonable. I don’t want to know what the insurance company pays.
I had a guy like that when in my late teens/early 20s. Had an ingrown nail taken off/out – a handful of painkiller samples from a shoebox was my pain med prescription.
Yeah, I’ve been the beneficiary of the “free pharma samples” in my yoot as well.
It’s like docs invested all that time in studying and training in order to help people.
Myself and siblings were pay as you can pregnancies for my mom.

Had my first encounter with Nevada politics last night, quite by accident.
The spousal unit and I were heading home after errands at around 5:45 or so and decided to stop by for a drink at our neighborhood bar, which is attached to the gas station/minimart. The parking lot was PACKED with cars, and dudes in suits were standing around talking in clusters outside. I rolled the windows down and asked if it was a private event, and they said, no, the Bar is open, but there is a ticketed banquet starting in a while. He told us it was a political event, and we bristled, but then my husband asked “Republican?” and they cautiously said yes, so then everyone relaxed and I let the volunteers direct the car to a parking spot out back.
We went in, and the place had a celebratory atmosphere. Apparently it’s a Nevada “thing” to throw a few of these county cluster banquets where ALL the GOP candidates, from US Senator, Governor, AG, state assembly, county sheriff, various other roles get together, raise money and glad-hand the constituents.
It was pretty cool; even though I quit the GOP years ago, I know it’s our best chance in Nye county to keep out the creeping Blue takeover. The audience. including candidates, included dot indians, feather Indians, black folk, hispanic folk, chicago folk, young, old, LGBT. They were handing out pocket constitutions and every candidate talked about reversing government overreach and butting out of everyone else’s lives. Seriously, Nye county Republicans are libertarians without realizing it.
I love Pahrump.
Nye County, the science county!
I suspect that my county fucking loves science more than hers.
lol.
Probably. But my county has a ratio of gun stores to residents that is likely higher than yours. In fact, since it’s Saturday morning, the VFW is having its weekly swap meet this morning; should probably pop over and buy some more ammo.
Do they throw one of those banquets at the local cathouse?
I wouldn’t rule out that possibility.
Was it at the Group W bar?

Moral clarity
Meta Global Affairs President Nick Clegg responded after the Russian government action with a tweeted statement saying that the company aimed to protect rights to speech as an expression of self-defense reacting to the invasion of Ukraine and that the policy only applied to Ukraine.
“If we applied our standard content policies without any adjustments we would now be removing content from ordinary Ukrainians expressing their resistance and fury at the invading military forces, which would rightly be viewed as unacceptable,” Clegg wrote.
“We have no quarrel with the Russian people. There is no change at all in our policies on hate speech as far as the Russian people are concerned,” he added.
Two weeks into Russia’s war in Ukraine, a Meta spokesperson said on Thursday the company had temporarily altered its rules for political speech, allowing posts such as “death to the Russian invaders,” although it would not allow calls for violence against Russian civilians.
Meta said the temporary change aimed to allow for forms of political expression that would normally violate its rules.
Everybody hates those guys, so it’s okay. Just don’t express violent hatred against people we like.
The audience. including candidates, included dot indians, feather Indians, black folk, hispanic folk, chicago folk, young, old, LGBT.
Fake news.
The dot Indian woman was a former Chicago cop who fled that city 3 years ago, and is making the ending of civil asset forfeiture a key piece of her campaign for Nye county sheriff. She looks exactly as you would expect: short, beautiful, with silky black hair styled in a bob, wearing a matching set of sapphire & diamond earrings, necklace, and bracelet that her husband, a tall cowboy she pointed out to me across the room, gave her as a gift when she decided to run for office. They were both straight out of central casting.

Just went to breakfast at a local restaurant where we’ve become friends with the wait staff.
The owner is still making them wear masks which aggravates the shit out of us so we’re giving them a call to complain later today.
But that wasn’t the worst of it. Our waitress, who is about my age, just got back from California. She was headed out there to visit her 26 year old twin sons. But one of them died in his room inexplicably while she and her husband were traveling. No known previous health issues and I don’t think it was an OD.
Horrible.
Myocarditis. Another tragic death, totally preventable but foisted upon him by our beneficent elites.
I just read a legit and heretofore suppressed medical study indicating that within 24-48 hours of getting the Covid 19 Vax, a small percentage of it has taken up permanent residence in the ovaries. Worse, 16% of the vax (!!) moves into the liver. My liver is already compromised, so by getting vaxxed and boosted, i’ve likely kicked off my slow suicide by painful disease.
Fauci can rot in hell. So can all his co-conspirators.
An interesting accusation from Steve Kirsch this morning:
Damn that’s terrible.
Last week my wife was given her religious exemption that she had to resort to when they wouldn’t take a medical exemption for a booster requirement at her work. A good bit of stress was removed from the Suell household with that. She took the original two shots and after the second her glands were swollen for over a month. I had her go to her doctor at the time to check it out and document it as I knew even then (May 2021) that they would be requiring boosters sooner or later. Her doctor told her that it was indeed a side effect of the vaxx but that she was essentially forbidden from granting medical exemptions to it even in cases of severe reaction from it.
I take it the doctor is part of a large chain or hospital?
Exactamente. The orders came from the top. She basically said if it was up to her that she would give a medical exemption, but that the only way she was allowed was if there was a specific allergy to a specific component of the vaxx that could cause potential death.
Fuuuuck. That sucks
CNN, on a white charger, in a suit of armor
The question of sending fighter jets to Ukraine, which hung over Harris’ first stop, illustrated the constraints the United States and NATO are operating under as they work to protect civilian lives in Ukraine.
When Biden called up Harris on her airplane as she was making her way to Poland, his administration was arriving at a decision to put a stake in the entire prospect of sending Polish planes to Ukraine, a signal of how intent the President is on avoiding direct conflict with Russia.
The announcement blunted some of the potential awkwardness for Harris when she arrived at the Belvedere Palace in Warsaw for talks with Duda. Greeting each other under a bright blue sky, the pair shook hands for more than a minute. Inside, they had what one official described as a “tête-à-tête” to talk privately before bringing in their delegations.
Polish officials had privately been annoyed at the impression they were holding up the jet transfers. When Blinken appeared on television Sunday giving Poland a “green light” to transfer the jets, it appeared to some like the United States was shirking off responsibility for what could be viewed as an escalation onto a country within easy striking distance of Moscow.
Our diplomacy is in the best of hands. The President knows what he’s doing.
Blinken is an incompetent ass. For that matter, the entirety of the State Department is full of hubris and corruption.
CNN, in the conservatory, with a wrench.
the President is on avoiding direct conflict with Russia
We are already in direct conflict with Russia. Thankfully they have been restrained from acting upon it. We wouldn’t, and haven’t, if the shoe was on the other foot.

It used to be “protect the patient.” So if you find anything that looks suspicious, you bring it up.
In 2021, they changed it to “protect the vaccine.” So if you find anything that looks suspicious, you ignore it.
I find this to be completely credible.

I’ve gotten to the point I question vaccines for my dogs…
There were no signs of the need dissipating this week. Even Harris appeared taken aback by the gruesome level of atrocities taking place in Ukraine, growing most impassioned when condemning the bombing of a maternity hospital.
“It is painful to watch what is happening to innocent people in Ukraine who just want to live in their own country and have pride in themselves as Ukrainians, who want to be home speaking the language they know, going to the church that they know, raising their children in the community where their families have lived for generations,” she said, “And by the millions, now, are having to flee with nothing but a backpack.”
“People who just want to lives their lives without the yoke of oppressive government being thrust upon them.” Where have I heard that before?

You’re not gonna fucking believe this
Russia’s baseless claims about secret American biological warfare labs in Ukraine are taking root in the U.S. too, uniting COVID-19 conspiracy theorists, QAnon adherents and some supporters of ex-President Donald Trump.
Despite rebuttals from independent scientists, Ukrainian leaders and officials at the White House and Pentagon, the online popularity of the claims suggests some Americans are willing to trust Kremlin propaganda over the U.S. media and government.
*mops coffee off keyboard*
I’m willing to trust the bum under the overpass over the US media and government. I trust my drug dealer over the US media and government. I trust the mafia over the US media and government.
The US media and government are probably the least honest purveyors of information on the planet, perhaps excepting the CCP.

Pity, her head game was her best qualifying feature…
Wah wah wah!
He’ll be here all week, folks!
She is both stupid and nervous at the same time. That is a laugh of someon who is in way over her head.
Yep. She is used to easy fawning questions where she can toss a platitude salad while getting a tongue bath and the consequences are minimal.
And it is extremely likely that she will become the president within the next 3 years.
Like any effective conspiracy theory, the Russian claim relies on some truths: Ukraine does maintain a network of biological labs dedicated to research into pathogens, and those labs have received funding and research support from the U.S.
But the labs are owned and operated by Ukraine, and the work is not secret. It’s part of an initiative called the Biological Threat Reduction Program that aims to reduce the likelihood of deadly outbreaks, whether natural or manmade. The U.S. efforts date back to work in the 1990s to dismantle the former Soviet Union’s program for weapons of mass destruction.
“The labs are not secret,” said Filippa Lentzos, a senior lecturer in science and international security at King’s College London, in an email to the Associated Press. “They are not being used in relation to bioweapons. This is all disinformation.”
If they were SECRET, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, would we?
That’s why the US government initially denied they even existed.
That’s why we’re so worried about the Russians getting their hands on them.
They’re just studying bioweapons. Jeez, guys.
Yeah, like that gain of function research.
Lighten up, Francis!

The day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an early version appeared on Twitter — in a thread espousing the idea that Russia’s offensive was targeting “US biolabs in Ukraine” — and was soon amplified by the conspiracy theory website Infowars. It has spread across mainstream and lower-profile social platforms, including Telegram and Gab, that are popular with far-right Americans, COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and adherents of QAnon, the baseless hoax that Satan-worshipping pedophiles secretly shape world events.
Just throw it all at that wall. Something’s gotta stick.

Excellent! When you visit, you’ll already be able to speak Mexican!
While the disinformation poses a threat on its own, the White House warned this week that the Kremlin’s latest conspiracy theory could be a prelude to a chemical or biological attack that Russia would blame on the U.S. or Ukraine.
It’s not sensationalist disinfo when we do it.
I guess the narrative is set. Wonderful. ?
The universe 100% unequivocally hates me. It’s literal fact.
well you must of pissed it off somehow
The universe is a dick and we are it’s asshole. Like a bad tinder date, it will try to fuck us.
Meh…sounded better in my head.
Going for anal on the first date? That’s a bold move.

I forgot about that line. It’s a good one.
It is one of many excellent pieces of scriptwriting from that series.
They don’t make ’em like they used to.
“The universe 100% unequivocally hates me. It’s literal fact.”
Do you wanna twalk about it?
You have to concoct bioweapons before you can study them.
But don’t worry your pretty little heads. There are protocols.
And it is extremely likely that she will become the president within the next 3 years.
What difference, at this point, would it make?
At least it won’t be Hillary.
Ha! that was one of the scenarios i had in mind when I wrote my reply below.
I seriously would not count out either Hillary or Michelle as possibilidades for 2024. There is very little chance that the Dems are gonna roll with Kammie for top billing. She has not exactly excelled in the VP roll and even with her fairly limited exposure she manages to poll lower than SloJoe.
Cankles vs. Cackles.
Hell comes to America.
That needs the movie guy voice applied
I was thinking Monster Truck Rally guy voice, complete with echo.
Excellent question.
(pours vodka shot)
I suppose the key question is, whom would “she” (i.e. the DNC puppet masters) appoint as the new Veep? Because her lifespan (or career lifespan) likely depends on that selection.
The prettiest harpy.
Abrams
Tulsi.
(I crack myself up)
The Biden administration may be an amazing blend of evil and incompetence, but credit where credit is due. Harris, amazingly, may save the Biden presidency. I would rather pretend the senile old man is in charge than run even the slightest risk of that woman being in charge of our country.
Well that’s great fucking news that hasn’t been reported. The Canadian government is trying to slip a bill through the Senate that would make Universal Basic Income into law. Who the fuck is going to keep the lights on you morons? I swear, they hate us all and want us dead.

They’ve herded the tribes for 150 years, why not expand? It’s just happening so fast.
On that line, you might appreciate this very insightful column from your fellow Canuck, Mark Steyn on the effect of Canadian “compassion” on the Innu tribe.

Admittedly, I’m on a Mark Steyn kick, but he is correct:
From “The Post-Work Economy” https://www.nationalreview.com/2013/12/post-work-economy-mark-steyn/
Yes. This is why I will soon perish. A man needs a reason to get up in the morning, slap some cold water on his face and greet the day.
I lived it for nearly a decade, contracting out of reserve. Company got huge tax breaks but the white guys did all of the heavy lifting.
There better be a worthiness clause so Justin can punish those who dare to disobey their leaders.
We’ve already seen that happen. It’s the social credit score writ large. “You bought too much beer last week, Citizen. Your ration has to be redirected.” It’s fucking terrifying.
I miss old timey totalitarianism where at least they let the alcohol and vices more or less flow free in order to satiate the masses. Theses new ones are religious true believers who only want is best for us. In their own opinion.
CS Lewis was right.
SOMA now, SOMA tomorrah, and SOMA Forevah!
Interesting observation from a Hungarian living in Canada. He’s not a particular fan of Ukraine because of their treatment of ethnic minorities.
Why is it that every single Western nation is so completely and totally freaked out over Ukraine? What is the strategic value of an incredibly corrupt country on Russia’s border to them? Why have they steadfastly resisted any attempts to resolve this peaceably?
Could it possibly be that a large percentage of Western politicians and other globalist leaders like Soros had their fingers in the cookie jar? That Hunter Biden was just the tip of a very large iceberg? And it is now very possible that a lot of them could be exposed?
I certainly don’t buy that our leaders give a shit about average Ukrainians. They didn’t care about the residents of Donbas. They certainly don’t care about Yemenis and are willing to let them die by the hundreds of thousands. They starved out Iraqi children for years. Their motives have nothing to do with humanitarian leanings, so it has to be something else.
Yes. It’s the most obvious explanation if you haven’t swallowed the massive amounts of propaganda.
Nope, they don’t.
I hate you just a little for bringing to mind the tip of Hunter Biden’s iceberg. The rest of your comment is spot on.
Possible answers:
1) Americans care more about whites than browns
2) Americans want a reason to drop the Covid shit like a hot potato and “pivot” to something else
3) What you said above about corruption
Correct answer: 3, with answer 2 being an enabling method, and answer 1 being at least 10% of stupid tweets on the subject.
4) they want confrontation and conflict with Russia and this is just a convenient figleaf
They’ve been manufacturing a casus belli since Trump was running for office.
Evil? Stupid? Bored? Greedy?
I can’t figure it out.
Don’t forget tonight.

LOL.
Did notice the sun was up WAAY too early this morning.
I wake up late and see it’s only 15 degrees out! and that’s it for the day, 15.
I’m sick of winter……..
42F and grass is growing. Did first mow of the season this morning.
What is this grass you speak of?
Just peeked outside and there is still snow on the Tacoma. Nope, not Spring yet.

Losers.
Does NJ allow Tesla drivers to plug in their own cars at supercharger stations?
Tell them they’ll probably get a discount for pumping their own gas and watch the numbers flip.
Fact is, there are plenty of reasons to preserve the self-service option: Nobody wants to leave a baby in the car while they get out to pump and pay.
This is a serious person with serious ideas.

The ghouls are reaching for morally heinous laws that would allow the murder of children post-birth by abandonment and/or non-treatment. I’m trying not be reactionary about this, but it’s difficult.
So if the baby comes out and isn’t breathing, and mom doesn’t slap its butt to get to breathe, that’s not a crime? Ok, maybe she doesn’t know how…
If she just puts it on the ground and lets it freeze, that’s not a crime?
If she doesn’t feed it and it starves, that’s not flat out murder?
You are correct; ghouls. Molech worshipping ghouls.
Yep, and that doesn’t even broach the topic of botched abortions where the baby is born alive but injured and the “doctor” tosses it into a tray and lets it thrash about until it wears itself out and dies.
Kermit Gosnell concurs.
Did you ever see that movie about Gosnell? It was crowdfunded, something like $2 million, had real actors (Dean Cain is the lead investigator), directors, and production values, but no US company would distribute it because, even though Gosnell was a criminal, no company wanted to be accused of suggesting that anything about abortion could be cast in a negative light.

The deletion of “woman” for “pregnant person” is just precious.
Much turns on how they define “perinatal”. Which isn’t defined in the bill. A typical definition is from viability to 2 – 4 weeks after birth. So throwing your newly delivered baby in the trash to scream it’s life out covered in garbage would not be a crime.
On further review, that may be outside the immunity for “failure to act”. Leaving your baby in your hot car, or outside in freezing weather, though, or simply starving it to death, would almost certainly be immunized. And the immunity will be applied broadly because of the green light for civil damages.
Lita Ford! That tune was in heavy rotation while I pursued a girl way out my league. No worries, Festus tracked her down… Still don’t care for the tune but thanks for the memories!
