Linguistic Fatalities

The headline on Al Jazeera said “Death Toll Mounts in Cameroon’s Linguistic Unrest”.

I can’t even.

Another “Thoughts & Prayers” Opportunity

I know what the problem is: those “thoughts & prayers” people keep sending their prayers to that violent, angry god. Time to choose somebody new! How about Ganesh‽

Patriot Theater

I thought everybody knew this:

Since 2009, the military has been paying $millions$ to the NFL for these “patriotic” displays.

It makes Uncle Sam look like some kind of sad sack, paying people to like him: “Please clap”.

Healthcare

I’m in favor of Universal Coverage.

This is not the same as “Medicare for All”. Medicare is an insurance plan. In fact, it’s a set of insurance plans, with the Part A, Part B, Part D, and the premiums and the co-pays and the donut hole and all that. Plus the yearly requirement to revisit one’s choices on each item. And it doesn’t cover Dental, of course, so that's an extra you have to find and buy and re-choose on a yearly basis. Who wants all that?

Update—17 Sept 2017: Restarting this blog.

There will be thoughts, observations, and speculations. This blog is about what I think. Each post may contradict the previous one, and I’m OK with that.
