(Sticky) Meta: Site Maintenance 0
Sometime this week soon one of these days I shall be making adjustments to this site. It may be unavailable for a time. But, be assured (or be afraid), it will be back. (I must confess, sadly, that I am getting lazy in my old age.)

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Yet another person fails to check whether the gun is loaded.
Just another day in the NRA’s Garden of Bleedin’.

Corporations who profess to protest the voter fraud fraud, among others.
Vaccine Nation 0
The Arizona Republic’s E. J. Montini has a question.
I say “all of a sudden” because, for as long as I can remember, Arizona has required proof of all kinds of vaccines for school kids.
This new idea about “choice,” however, is only for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Follow the link for his thoughts as to possible answers for that question.
“Produce an Heir” 0

(My eyes may open slowly, but they can sometimes open.)

Vaccine Nation: A Doctor’s Story 0
AL.com has a lengthy report on one Alabama doctor’s experiences in treating COVID-19 patients in the least vaccinated state in the nation. She reports that, as she prepares to intubate new patients, they often ask for the vaccine, and she has to tell them, “I’m sorry, it’s too late.”

“And the one question that I always ask them is, did you make an appointment with your primary care doctor and ask them for their opinion on whether or not you should receive the vaccine? And so far, nobody has answered yes to that question.”

It seems that politeness is for the birds.
Considered sacred by many Native American tribes, the golden eagle is protected by a trio of federal laws: the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and the Lacey Act, according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
