fully raged about here?
The man who once expanded the HIV crisis in his state by personal objections to needle sharing solutions and insisting prayer was better than medicine is now the gateway through which all comments by people who know what they are talking about must beg to pass?

Had it up to here with endless discussions about looming elections. Never anything breaking that I don't get with a quick look at the Times or WaPo.

Back to local channels, PBS and NPR. At least you can get traffic and weather reports. And the latest gas station shootout.
I have been spearphished!
Which is worse than a simple phishing expedition.
I'm in my car and get a message that my account has been suspended.
What account? Was this a text? (Bluetooth can do odd things)
Then the phone rings and I'm given a choice of numbers to press. I press one and some guy with a vague accent starts asking questions...
