Just in case any of your reichwing FB or Twitter friends tries to run this canard up the pole ...

It's goes along the lines of 'ZOMG Obama waited to declare a Public Health Emergency for 6 months after it was declared a Pandemic and 1000's died!!!111!'

Note that Trump declared a PHE for COVID-19 about 1 month ago ... so they're trying to imply he was way more proactive than Obama was with H1N1.

Which is, of course, a freaking lie.

It's even been removed from FB for being a lie, that's how bad it is.

Oh, and one more thing ... many more people died of Flu in 2008 flu season ... when Bush was still President ... than 2009, which ended up being a relatively normal year for total flu deaths (including H1N1). That's cause there was a H1N1 vaccine out by November of 2009.

okay holy freaking hell this young lady is one straight BADASS chick ... wow ...



I know it's 35 mins long, so if you're just gonna listen to one tune, FF to the 31:00 (29:30 if you want to hear her intro which is fun) mark for the finale 'mean to me' ... I think that'll be enough to convince you what I'm talking about.

Her voice, her guitar skills, her songwriting, her charm and humour throughout the set ... not to mention, let's face it she's both adorable and gorgeous ... WOW.

Thanks YT algorithm ... you do know ol' Mr. L by now

You guys wanna see something freaking HILARIOUS from the Post Office?

This is a priority mail package, from the Federal Government ... note that timestamps are in descending order, so check out it's journey from the bottom to top ...

It's gone from:
Sac to Stockton
Stockton to Sac
Sac to Stockton
Stockton to Sac
Sac to Stockton
Stockton to Sac

And NOW ... they realized ... there's a problem. With my PRIORITY mail.

And you know what the problem is?

I LIVE IN FUCKING ARIZONA.

When Holyfield beat Tyson the first time, his speech after the fight was nauseating

I'd been cheering for Evander, it was a fantastic bout I watched with a bunch of friends, almost all Holyfield fans, we were all goin' nuts.

Then when he was interviewed after he won, it was a non-stop Praise Gawd Praise Jeebus My Lord In Heaven Strength in Jeebus blah blah blah.

It was nauseating.

You know what? I still like Evander Holyfield and think he's a great dude. I still much prefer him to Mike Tyson. As a man, he does not make me ill in any way.

But that particular speech?

Was pretty f***ing nauseating.
