    Haven't Russia been vaccinating people for a week now? Calling it Sputnik? Anyway the UK is vaccinating today, starting with the over 80's and front line NHS staff first. This is undoubtedly the best way to approach the roll out as 99% of deaths here have been of people over 50 (or with medical complications) and the older you are the more at risk you are. Wife and I are probably in the ninth of eleven catagories (with catagory 11 not getting the jab) and expecting to be asked to attend... by Easter? The daily UK death toll is about 200 a day now, with continuing lockdown measures working as expected. And more good news, the Oxford/Astra vaccine has been peer-reviewed as safe in The Lancet.

    I blew it up to look at it closely. He had originally typed "DRELL" ... or actually "DRE" AND THEN overstruck the E with an I.

    @89th I have seen some of those. They are pretty funny. Lol There is also a website called “419eater” which does the same thing, but more via emails, etc. There is a very good story in there about a guy would convinced a Nigeria scammer to take this trip across the continent of Africa

    I remember more others and their reactions (who were more personally moved and devastated by his murder).

    @Loki said in Where’s our Hero?: I’m really curious to see how msnbc and cnn re-invent themselves. I spared myself the viewing, I’m quite sure they are the world champion of being the exact replica of who they were yesterday. Isn't CNN already laying off people?

    Looks like the article is about copyright issues. Ironically, what I get is this: [image: 1607423940534-0e160f1a-3817-4060-aceb-a149ebba3037-image.png]

    Just to be pedantic, on June 2 1924 a federal statute made all non citizen Indians born in the territorial limits of the US, automatically citizens of the US and the taxed versus non taxed distinction ceased to exist.

    @Mik Nope. Not a bluff in sight. Been doing that hop up into the driver's seat since 1991. When I was campaigning, I would haul my signs and rebar in the truck bed. When I could have access, I would back the truck up to the sign location, drop the tailgate, use the running board to get into the truck bed, and stand on the tailgate to pound the rebar into the ground. It was very handy for this short gal to put up the bigger signs that way. That rebar had to be at least4 feet above ground and 2 to 3 feet underground. Do the math. That tailgate was a perfect height People thought it was worth a honk and a wave!

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Good news for now: @George-K said in Good news for now: @Doctor-Phibes said in Good news for now: On the plus side, we've got Christmas to look forward to. Half-full! Thanks! Whenever optimistic people talk about the glass being half full, I've noticed they never say what it's half full of, exactly. In that case they are saying the glass is half empty.
