Most Head Shakingly Bad Thing of the Week



Woman had her dog’s Xanax in her blood when she crashed into, killed cyclist, state says - The Oregonian Live

Witt faces manslaughter charges, and prosecutors allege she had at least 11 medications in her system at the time of the mid-afternoon crash, including her dog’s Xanax. She also had three empty beer cans, a handgun and a Taco Bell receipt from that afternoon, according to an affidavit.

“The defense provided the state with veterinary records showing that Ms. Witt’s dog was given a prescription for Xanax two days before the crash,” prosecutors wrote in the filing ... According to the court records, 11 of [the dog] Lola’s 20 pills were missing.

TSB: AOC makes it simple on drug pricing! Sofosbuzur reats Hep C. It was developed after 10 yrs of NIH research and licensed to Gilead drug company. 2017 sales were $50 billion. Cost of a 10 week course is $84,000. Gilead has a 10 year patent. AOC asks why shouldn't the US taxpayer get a return on that investment. Dr.Essinger of NIH could only say: "that is the way the contracts are written." So OCA is a commie for attacking predatory capitalism? gwb

TSB: This is the best article I've seen on AOC. It also shows that most of the ZH commenters are died in the wool neo-cons. AOC is simply the antithesis of Trump. (for example, climate change is an "existential threat?" vs "a myth perpetrated by the Chinese") Another thing this brings to light is that in modern "news" everything is visual so Ocasio's "style choices" are easily mocked "straight jacket?= batshit crazy) but she looks great in all of them.
She never reacts in anger while Trump never stops attacking. Bringing all these things to a vote is the one thing both sides fear the most. gwb

TSB: Attorney General Whitaker supplied more "contemptuous humor" than I've seen in a long time at today's hearing. As the hapless democrats kept asking the same questions over and over and getting the same "I can't comment on an active investigation." His best moment was: "Mr. Chairman, I believe your 5 minutes are up!!…..Nadler goes but,but,but … "That's what we agreed too Mr Chairman!" Sheila Jackson Lee is so pompous! gwb

TSB: Of the 595 comments my favorite was: When Jackson-Lee was yelling "answer yes or no... answer yes or no" over and over I so wanted him to just say "Yes or no." gwblol
