The National Lampoon had a cartoon where a reporter asked the Shah what happened. "Khomeini times Ayatollah you, I RAN!"

"Good morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test. This is rock and roll. Time to rock it from the delta to the DMZ! Is that me, or does that sound like an Elvis Presley movie? Viva Da Nang. Oh, viva, Da Nang. Da Nang me, Da Nang me. Why don't they get a rope and hang me? "

Absolutely the premier funny man. I truly miss him. I'm just waking up and Already overwhelmed because I just saw the outrageous post that RFKJR was confirmed as the new department of health czar. WTF it's no wonder I just slept 14 hours straight!! Every day is a bigger nightmare and so fucked up - my entire being musta said ' Screw this! Take a time out '. and sure enough my wakeup call is RFKJR is now in charge of killing the babies the repubes were are so hell-bent on supposedly saving!! Where is the government of the United States of America?? And who are we supposed to be right now?!

I hadn't heard that yet, Denise. Oh, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! JFC, now it will be cider vinegar and homeopathic bullshit instead of evidence based science and medicine. Shit. I am beyond disgusted and furious.

I use homeopathics and cider vinegar. I also believe in science and in vaccinations.

Trump will be adding a shit-ton more deaths to his six-figure toll from covid... he might actually win "president most lethal to US citizens" but I'd rather not give him that award -- he'd probably enjoy it so much it would become a personal goal to get his total as high as possible.

Sadly, it has been reported as of 4/26/23 there have been 1.1 million Covid deaths in the US. I garnered this information from statista.com . I only state this as to reiterate Un poco loco’s frightening fact that “it would become a personal goal to get his total as high as possible.” Another “ big and beautiful number.”

Chet, that's a 2023 #. Is a 2024 # available yet? Our Drs in far NorCal ask every appt "latest COVID vax?". Our country has the lowest COVID booster/orig vax in CA.

The anti-vaxxers are prevalent throughout the country especially amongst the Maga cult. I have them in my own family. Hey, it’s on them if they get ill. My wife and I are fully vaccinated as we are older and NOT science deniers.
