"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:
Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.
i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution

You occasional reminder that here, unlike the Bad Place, the ethos calls for instantly blocking trolls, never engaging, arguing, or dunking. If it makes you feel any better, you can shout THIS! IS! BLUEEESKYYYY! like Gerard Butler in a loincloth while doing it.
