How BJs.com gets us to Pay for the Discounts they give Others

I have only a modicum of OCD but I'll always hate to clip coupons...SO...I don't bother. I'm not rich but I'll be damned if I have to be forced to work by corporate America just to get an effen discount. Therein lies their graft. There are people with a little extra money that don't really need the coupons and there are people who are too lazy, disinterested, or who value their time too much to clip coupons. These people end up subsidizing the coupons of those poor souls who HAVE to clip coupons. I give to charities but to have a company like BJ's surreptitiously have a program in place that sucks money out of my coffers so that they can lower the cost of goods to others is typical of what scumbag corporations do everyday of our lives thanks to the--typically--sociopathic CEO. Because of coronavirus, BJ's is temporarily doing away with paper coupons but they still insist that you go online to get the savings. I thought I would be smart and just click o...

Margaret Brennan, of what Use was Your Question on Masks?

Mrs. Brennan asked an epidemiologist if there was any evidence that masks worked in stopping the coronavirus spread. What an absurd question to ask in a pandemic considering all we know. For instance, we know that social distancing works and we all try to obey the 6 foot rule. Now, if a barrier consisting of nothing but air is effective, how can anyone in their right mind question the effectiveness of a more physical barrier like a mask? Especially since no one is saying that masks protect the public from getting the virus; instead, the claim is made that wearing a mask stops you from spreading the virus, and isn't that what we all want? It's an especially troubling issue because we are seeing in the news that certain people are ignoring the guideline to use masks in public. It is my misfortune that I live in a state (NJ, Gov. Phil Murphy) where it is optional. Thank God that retail establishments have more horse sense and are imposing very necessary restrictions on hyperloca...

FDA Policies are More to Blame for Covid-19 Deaths than Nature Herself, IMHO

This article on the efficacy of oxidative therapy  should be read by all in the medical profession because they are the cowards so afraid of government, that they LET PATIENTS DIE before trying an FDA unapproved therapy.  I'm talking about using unorthodox therapies that do not make it into mainstream medical practice because no pharmaceutical company would touch a therapy that was unpatentable--as almost all alternative therapies are. In dire situations like the present, we need to hogtie the hands of the FDA completely so that men and women in the medical profession who are capable of thinking outside the box, can do so. Hydrogen peroxide is used to disinfect medical equipment like PPE. Why not use it to treat Covid-19 patients? The inhalation of H2O2 has been shown to be relatively safe for inhalation at a concentration of 2.2 PPM.  This NIH article talks about safety of inhaled H2O2. . Now, I can't calculate 2.2 PPM in air and I can't test for it but if diagnosed ...

John Avalon, Most of Us are Aware of your Bought Status--the Democratic Debate

CNN's goto spinmeister of "reality" comes up with the meaningless figures to bring down Bernie Sanders vis-a-vis the perennial senior class president and valedictorian, Ms. Amy Klobuchar. What he said was that Little Miss Busybody got a lot done in Congress. Fine, let her stay there where she'll do the most good. Assuming, of course, that you are a lawyer and revel in the plethora of dumb-shit laws coming the way of the unsuspecting citizen. Another reality-check is that in Congress you don't get something for nothing. While Ms. Klobuchar was possibly willing to compromise principles to get her legislation passed. Meanwhile Bernie Sanders stuck to his guns and got fewer bills passed. That, Mr. "Reality Checker," is our view of reality. Did you remember to bring in Mr. Obama's legacy in legislative law.....aaaaa, zero? Bernie's in good company as far as bill writing is concerned. To use a Reality Check statistical tool, that means Bernie wro...

JC! Margaret Brennan, Why Not Join Smiley's Campaign?

MARGARET BRENNAN asked Smiley Uncle Joe, "Bernie Sanders. Can you stop him, in terms of the momentum he has?" I give her kudos for journalistic integrity by not smiling back at Smiley but with this question I've read between the lines. I read this as coming from a host who is in consternation over Bernie's success. I read, "CAN YOU STOP HIM" (before anyone of us contribute another cent to your campaign?) and I read, "Because, Mr. Vice President, there is a distinct need to stop this damn socialist." And, not stop him because your policies are so much better than his but stop his damn momentum which was not anticipated and which will destroy all the dough I and my husband have managed to accumulate over the months that Trump has been in office--oh, that rich man's saviour, if he hadn't been so blatantly corrupt and wall-loving, he might have been the second coming of Reagan. Now, how would I have phrased the question? I think I would hav...

In Defence of Harvey and other Horacio Hornblowers

I don't want to defend Harvey Weinstein for such wealthy asswipes couldn't give a gnat's ass about the rest of us. However, if what I suspect might be true, I must defend him against the cold pussies of the world that we've all encountered along the horniness of life. What's up with Horatio Hornblower? That's just my wife's nickname for me whenever I took advantage of her good nature. I think two types of women entered Harvey's lair thinking their talents were paramount and not in need of a paramour. One was a non-heterosexual woman, the other was an asexual one. Harvey, to his chagrin, was not capable of recognizing either. Let us first recognize a heterosexual sexpot; one in the form of Gweneth Paltrow. Why is it that she didn't resort to throwing Harvey under the bus? The answer is that heterosexual women are either bemused, seduced or annoyed by men's advances and, most importantly, know how to "nip it in the bud" when it was un...
