    Joke's gonna be on all of us when we replace Kansas, Baylor, TCU, and KSU with Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Miss State, and South Carolina.  :)

     

    Well, we really owe Vanderbilt.  3-8 (IIRC) record against them needs to be addressed.

    Yet these are the first to proclaim "American Exceptionalism."

    They aren't wrong in general.  This country is exceptional.  They are completely wrong about the specifics of what make us exceptional.  And lately it appears to be exceptional for all of the wrong reasons.  We had a pretty decent run.

    COVID is especially tough on obese people. Obese people like their sugar. Therefore COVID likes sugar. Any fool can see the correlation there.

    And now some people want to push sweet tea on us?  I smell a conspiracy!

    I get it at a high level, but honestly, I don't want doctors deciding who to treat and who to turn away for any reasons other than emergency triage.  It just seems contrary to the code we expect our medical personnel to follow.  Yes, they are in a really shitty situation, but they signed up and accepted the responsibility.

    If emergency triage starts with something like, "COVID and not vaxxed?  Back of the line!", then I can get onboard with that.  If a single person dies of a non-COVID disease because hospital resources are eaten up by anti-vaxxers (and I'm certain this has already happened) then blood is on the hands of those fuckers.  To hell with them!

    In this case, the "risks of the shots outweighed the benefits." Since he's dead, I am wondering if she meant his life insurance policy had good benefits?

    Hmmm...  Do some life insurance policies have provisions requiring vaccinations?  I realize it may still be too early for policies to have that for COVID, but are we likely to see life insurance companies refuse to cover the unvaccinated?  Or if they still provide coverage doing so with a hefty premium?  A FAFO rider, if you will?

    Living in a fast-growing Austin suburb that is full of transplants, my anecdotal observation is that the people moving here from the West Coast, Chicago, or New York tend to be ridiculously right-wing, and they will tell you they moved to Texas because of freedom.

    Had some decent pizza in a small town outside of Yosemite in California few years back.  The restaurant was loaded with references to God and Jesus.  Whatever.  The food was good.  The place is empty so the proprietor talks us up a bit.  When he finds out we spent most of our lives in Texas he really opened up.  Stated his intention to move there when he gets a chance.  The first stated reason for moving to Texas?  "You Texans know how to execute prisoners."  You know, like Jesus always commanded I guess.  So fucking weird how the right can twist religion.

    Instead the sign has “97 percent survival rate” and “sheeple” on it.

    Stuff like this baffles me.  They use a phrase like 97 percent survival rate and think that means it's all much ado about nothing.  If they believe that number to be true and we all skip vaccines then we'd lose about 10 million people in this country?  And that's OK?  Really?

    I'm sure in their mind the 97% survival rate just means THEY will almost certainly be OK in the end.  And that's all that really matters.

  8. 1985 Texas versus Missouri.  Meh game. Meh season.  But it was great to see my first game in person.  Grew up in Louisiana so I'd only caught a few games on TV prior to that.  Now in California, so it's been years since I've been to a game other than the recent Cal game in Berkeley I'd just a soon forget.

    This is the Mississippi DOH.  Maybe the sample sizes are too small, but honestly these orange (fully vaxx) percentages are the exact opposite of what I would expect.  Would expect them to be higher percentage of cases but lower of hospitalizations and deaths.

     

    I hope the sample size is small, though that detail would be lost on the dim witted.  18% of deaths for the vaccinated is really high compared to the <1% reported by Arkansas and some other states.

    So I’m headed to Napa tomorrow with three other couples and just realized each couple is affiliated with a different SEC school: Texas, OU, Florida, and A&M. I feel like some sort of action should be taken. Thoughts?

    Ditch them all and head over to Sonoma.  The wine's better here (minus perhaps the Cabs), a bit less expensive and less pretentious.

    Three hospitals and a double  lung transplant. Everyone else in the family got the vaccine.

     

    Makes me ragey.  So some other person on the lung transplant waiting list may die because this dick couldn't be bothered to do the smart thing?  Fuck him.
