Not to make this too glib but I saw on Twitter that conservatives are trying to get Bill Maher's show canceled as retribution.

 

All I can say (as someone else said on there) is - yes, please, show those liberals what for by getting that awful man's awful show canceled! I'm more than fine with that. Really.

If anyone ever asks y'all whether conservatives today are out-of-step with the rest of the nation, just remind them that conservatives are seriously launching a campaign to end a cable talk show because they THINK it'll make liberals cry.

Lest some fall under the misbegotten impression that the George W. Bush administration was somehow benign, here's a refresher about how W.'s administration failed to fully prosecute or otherwise hold the makers of OxyContin accountable for their spread of the opioid epidemic.

 

Origins of an Epidemic: Purdue Pharma Knew Its Opioids Were Widely Abused

 

The company was allowed to plead down to a misdemeanor with no admission of guilt, despite the company knowing and suppressing evidence of the highly addictive nature of their product.

    • Yes, they are new pictures of him.
    • I would submit to you that she doesn't need any more excuses, not when it comes to Bill. But, I am one fan who thinks Bill isn't done with Dani & also the reverse is so. Those two, IMO, are locked in some kind of toxic but  irresistible vortex. I'm not saying we're going to have scifi. Just the personality kind of vortex. OH!!! Thanks. I don't do Y&R. But I totally understand anger even frustration with Josh.
    • Any chance you could share this episode to the vault? Please.
    • @asafi @yrfan1983 Jennifer Brooks death was September 1977. A recap of it is here    
    • a reference to a mystery character on Y&R named "Aristotle Dumas" who has been discussed a zillion times in the past few months but never seen.  Not mad at the character.  Mad at Y&R writer Griffith for the annoyance. Mentioned to point out the annoyances of Y&R in contrast to enthusiasm for BTG.
    • It also seemed like she wanted an excuse to go over Bill's and yell at him.
    • The number 1 rated soap, and no one seems to like it. I don’t remember the last episode I watched. The Damian story was the only thing keeping me watching but I just gave up on the show altogether again.
    • Not all friends are alike though and there should be a counterbalance in some friendships on soaps. Dani has already been all over the place enough and doesn't need an unstable friend.
    • I was finally warming up to Eva but today, that girl, what in the world was she thinking, crawling back to Mama saying she was under a lot of pressure. Pitiful. And, just what did she get for her trouble? Rebuffed, totally. Anastasia, she can go kick rocks. Who needs her & what was she wearing? I'm surprised to learn that some people did not have an appreciation of Dani & then Anita, right after, at Theodore's. I thought they were both right on the money & also sharp, witty.  Ted, of course, is playing at being Impervious Man, which is very funny & he takes it one step further, making all these declarations of his intent to woo Nicole back & win her trust again. I find myself laughing so hard at him & at how he has totally misread his circumstances. He has zero chance but wow he has so much confidence. This I find to be so humorous, possibly unintentionally so.  Edit to add: What does Alexander Dumas have to do with anything? And why are people seeming to be mad at him?
    • They feel like a bad Three's Company parody.
