Thankfully the electoral college is still around because it prevents faddish populists who are unfit to govern from taking office. Oh shi-

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
I'm going to load up on debt, hookers and blow in anticipation of the collapse of the dollar when even his most fervent supporters realize it's all a con.

NY Times posted:

The Washington Post reported Friday that the fear was so entrenched that parents in the community believe the risk of measles is preferable. The Post reported that one of the anti-vaccine movement’s founders, Andrew Wakefield, was among those who had met with the parents. Asked if he felt at fault for the outbreak, he replied: “I don’t feel responsible at all,” according to The Post.

Because they have never seen anyone get crippled or killed by these diseases, but they have seen autistic children.

Look, do you know anyone who's ever died from the mumps?

It's basically the common cold, just take some antibiotics and vitamin C.

I had a girlfriend who worked in public health who put it even more strongly: "Even if every single case of autism were caused by vaccines, we should still vaccinate everyone."
