I have noticed those Hep C commercials and their stress on us old farts. like here is something especially for us because we all marched against the war together and we all listened to Country Joe and the Fish together and now we can all take their Hep C medicine together because we all used needles to inject illegal drugs together. Back in the day I remember there was some talk of Hep C in relation to needles, but I haven't heard much about it since then until these commercials.
Well haven't people been using needles all along? I reckon they have, and I reckon those people use the Hep C medicine, but maybe not enough of them, so now the marketeers see a new group of consumers in those of us old farts who messed with needles in the day but dropped the bad habit and now lead perfectly respectable lives. That's why they show the oldsters in the commercial wandering around through a redwood forest walking tall and clear-eyed.
How about that psoriasis commercial where it acts like the psoriason has been shunned by society but now has the strength of mind to step forward and take the medicine and can now join the mainstream world and leave the leper colony? Anymore you don't just take medicine to get well, you take it as a bold step to actuate your reality, some shit like that.
See now if I go to that Viking article I will have to read the whole thing to glean whatever point the Old Finn wants to promote, which is probably just a part of the article, so why doesn't the Old Finn, who has read it and knows, just write out those points in the univied halls?
Nephew, grand-second-in-law-twice-removed nephew, potato, red-skinned-Irish-twice-backed tater tot. I was hoping the mention of Ms Rousey would get this staid stuck-in-the-mud forum, into a little more exotic territory. I swear the old Finn was sitting there in his horned hat speaking Viking when she lit up the screen of the staid stick-in-the-mud Ten Cat.
Yeah that shooting has hijacked the news. Okay it is a big deal, but the facts aren't that many and are all known so why go on and on and on about it? All they are doing is asking politicians and other pundits what they think of it, and what they think of it, as the Onion trenchantly pointed it out, is that it proved whatever point the pol or pundit wanted to make. At the ending they all murmured piously that they hoped it would bring us all together, which of course it won't.
Those people, those people who voted for Trump, not Them, the power brokers Who influenced those deplorables to vote for Trump in order to advance the chances of the big girl, I believe generally wanted to stick it to the man. A lot of them were previous Obama voters, who I guess they also thought would stick it to the man, albeit more gently with Change we can believe in, and Yes we can (whatever those meant), Even those of us (and he knows who he is) who thought Obama was a wild-eyed commie would have to concede that he always behaved well and worked towards something he believed in, unlike the cranky baby now in the high chair. Anyway they still take polls, they come out about once a week like always. They almost always ask the Trunpists why they love him and invariably they answer because they trust him to do whatever and that is the extent of their beliefs.
Fact and spell-checked and now I have only to think of a title, something to catch the attention of my colleagues. Whatever shall it be?
