{listener} Ironic … I set that meme last week to post tonight. Currently, a dear friend has Lyme and is being evaluated for long Covid. The antibiotic for Lyme helped, but not enough. She suddenly couldn’t walk, and is still using a cane or crutches as needed…and after an MRI is literally at Emergency talking with neurologists.
Lyme disease used to be very difficult to diagnose--- there was no blood test for it. I understand that there are now fairly reliable tests for it, and that treatment has improved, but is not dramatic; it remains a very good thing to not get. And on top of long covid----wow. I wish her the best fortune. ----Alan

Actually, it was the billionaire owners of the Wapo and the LA Times who put the papers' integrity on the block, not working journalists. Their reactions already have become clear. -- nordy

DeleteDo you think they’ll blame DT?
Probably just say it was staffers.

DeleteYou know DT…he’s sure to just throw somebody under the bus.
Wait…there’s no bus.
Meanwhile, Harris was at her rally with Beyoncé in Houston.

DeleteThe Borowitz Report!
Jeff Bezos sells Washington Post’s integrity
I remain hopeful that Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden will be a flop. Well, we will see tomorrow.

The Borowitz report seems to fair and balanced.

I also have high, or low, hopes for the MSG rally. Wouldn't it be wonderful if noone showed up at all? He'd go from orange to purple in a nanosecond!
DeleteYes, but I think the integrity is overpriced. -- nordy
