Back then they really did fear the pope and Rome. They literally thought Catholics were not real Christians. Not all Protestants but the hard core Baptists and people like that. Today I have the position has softened to simply theological differences vs good and evil like it was back then. there are degrees of religious devotion that people display and I think it’s fair to ask. Most people who go to church just go to church or temple or mosque and that’s that. They went to the denomination they grew up in or married into. Then there’s the level where you put verses on signatures and quote a holy text for justification for something. I don’t know if Scalia or Barrett do that. I don’t pay attention.

Right. The problem Kennedy faced wasn’t anti religion. It was Catholic bigotry among evangelicals, the very same lot that today are joined at the hip politically with many Catholics due to abortion and other culture wars. MLK Sr even publicly said he wouldn’t vote for him until bobby for Jr out of jail in the south. “MLK Jr’s father is a bigot eh? Well we all have fathers don’t we?” They don’t fear Rome like they used to because they help out with abortion. They can also jointly play up the “the world went to hell when they took prayer out of schools” canard.

Depends who’s kids

The flu shot doesn’t prevent you from getting the flu. It helps you fight the infection. Just like COVID it goes a long way to keeping you out of the hospital. The key difference, said from March 2020 onwards because of idiots like Dr Drew… COVID is asymptotically contagious and a lot more contagious than the flu. That’s why it would never be “just like the flu”

The only issue I saw was frozen potatoes. I went on Thursday afternoon and the shelves were bare. So I had to peel and cut. Also heard of cream cheese shortages.

Typically food and beverages are not included. A friend has a suite at LCA and he told me the prices for food. I don’t blame him for keeping it simple. The suite is for employees so they can get their own beer.

Wife told me about a patient in their 40s that died. An overdose combined with COVID. Family wanted an autopsy but balked when told of the price they’d have to pay since it’s not seemed necessary. Their primary concern was whether they’d say died of COVID or something else

I love how the self appointed gun expert here is telling us that a loaded gun pointed in the direction of two people not ten feet away is “not pointed at anyone”. Sorry. You have zero credibility now when it comes to gun issues.

Mine wasn’t made in China.

Here’s a well regulated member of our militia and member of Congress pointing a gun at another person at the range.

My dad had a brain tumor the year I was born. It affected him the rest of his life susceptible to strokes. Also did something mentally with memory and comprehension. He was fine but I know it bothered him. Lived to be 82.

Sanctity of marriage.

Waffle House for hurricanes. yankee candle for COVID.

We were stressed about how to get my youngest special needs kid boosted. His first two shots were done at Ford Field. It took 3 of us to hold him down while the head doctor there gave it to him. They couldn’t have been more accommodating. luckily a friend of ours owns a practice and she had some Pfizer’s set to expire last Saturday. She gave us a few did my son and 2 family members who hadn’t gotten around to it yet.

Your post looks like it was written with information dating from April 2020.

“We” aren’t doing anything. Individual businesses are making independent decisions that they feel is best for their staff and customers. Free market stuff. Live and let live. Nobody is forcing them to do that. Either patronize them or not. Don’t whine about it like a Karen.

56 cases

I am pretty sure I have some in a box and have plans during the break to go thru all of it. If I come across them will send you one. Stay tuned.

I thought Larish would be good. I had nothing to go by other than he looked like a ball player was supposed to look at the time. Kind of lanky.

Bring it on.

CDC says omicron is 73% of new infections last week. Given the rampant spread we’ve seen in sports since they test all the time it makes me really wonder if we’ve all been exposed already?
