Boycott of Vaccine Causes Measles Surge a Decade Later

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.

This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.

…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.

“We know that the press corps spent most of the last week chasing a story based on an email that didn’t exist. It was fabricated by a Republican aide and then reported as fact. Sad commentary that Republicans are so dead set on embarrassing the President, the foreign service, the CIA and our military that they would actually lie to a news organization about the contents of an email and let that news organization report their lies as fact. The attack in Benghazi is an issue of life and death. We should be focused tracking down the terrorists that committed this act and bringing them to justice not on smear politics and false scandals.” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (via kileyrae)
