Roy rips another one from the (Twitter) headlines. I swear if someone had told me 10 years ago that this is where we would be, I wouldn't have believed them.

“Why won’t the highly credentialed professor of molecular virology go on the comedian's podcast to debate the guy in the tinfoil hat who screams about the measles vaccine turning kids transgender (I guess the vaccine got bored with turning kids autistic)? Why is the professor afraid of the marketplace of ideas?”

If he didn’t have the Kennedy surname, if you discount who his father and uncles were, RFK Jr. is just a guy in a tinfoil hat. And not only has RFK Jr. not inherited their intelligence, he doesn’t even have their jawline – a far greater failing in my estimation.

The only elitism going on here is RFK Jr’s pedigree ensures he has a platform from which to spout his lunacy, whereas the guy stumbling around the park muttering about UFOs and anal probes doesn’t have his theories taken seriously.

Funny stuff , Roy! There's that horrifying aspect that's troubling. I'm from SW Ohio, though.and I've been shoulder to shoulder with these grits for 65 years and well, you get used to horrifying.

You know, if there was an oral vaccine for covid, we would have skipped a lot of this. Big strong Maga Men are too pussy to get a shot.

And here we are.
