Eric Clapton and Van Morrison Release Their Anti-Mask Anthem
Eric Clapton and Van Morrison, both age 75 and therefore at 220 times the risk of death from COVID-19 compared to people 18 to 29, have released a blues-rock track raging against public health codes.
"Stand and Deliver," written by Morrison and sung by Clapton, includes couplets like "Do you wanna be a free man / Or do you wanna be a slave? / Do you wanna wear these chains / Until you're lying in the grave?"
The phrase "stand and deliver" is associated with highwaymen, suggesting that Morrison and Clapton feel that governments scrambling to keep their populations alive are somehow stealing from them. The track concludes with the line "Dick Turpin wore a mask too." Turpin was an 18th century British criminal known for highway robbery.
Earlier this year, Morrison referred to preventive measures as pseudoscience, and "Stand and Deliver" marks his fourth anti-lockdown track after "Born to Be Free", "As I Walked Out," and "No More Lockdown." This latest, though, is the first to infect another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
Clapton, during his years of a well-documented drug addiction, went on a notorious racist rant while onstage in 1976, for which he has since apologized.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Over a million vaccines administered in the USA so far, three reactions; all three recovered fine. In the meantime thousands died from COVID and my relatives are still talking about how dangerous the vaccine is.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I’m kind of disappointed to learn this about Clapton. Learning it about Morrison doesn’t surprise me - he’s always been a selfish, ignorant cunt.

Hundreds of Maskless Trumpkins Pack Turning Point USA Party at Mar-a-Lago
Hundreds of maskless revelers—including White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem—packed President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach club on Friday night for Turning Point USA’s annual winter gala, flouting local COVID-19 guidelines.
Attendees paid a minimum of $2,000—and upwards of $100,000—to hear speeches by several Republican A-listers, including Fox News host Laura Ingraham and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. Other Trumpkins, like Corey Lewandowski and Roger Stone, were seen huddling up with guests and taking photos. Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe was also in attendance.

Apparently even Kirk Cameron has a few thousand bucks to throw at Trump's super spreader party, and then like a true Christard hero, he went to spread it around to the other members of the Trump's death cult

The weekend caretaker for my MiL tested positive yesterday. My wife was there for a visit on Monday, and got the news today. We'll know in a week if my MiL has it. Her right side is paralyzed as a consequence of Alzheimer's attacking her brain. There is no way that we are going to transport her to a testing facility, and they don't go to nursing homes to test the residents. All this time I've been thinking that the one son who deals with the public daily would be the vector into our house. The wife is going to quarantine in the sewing room, but she's already spent one night in the same bed with me, so we shall see... I'm thinking it's a long shot to getting it, but it's still unnerving.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Some good personal news - my wife works in health care and has, to our great surprise, been prioritized for the vaccine.

I hope that all goes well with all of you.

Just got a text and then a call from my boss. She, her daughter, and the guy I work with all have COVID.
Now we have to figure out how to get payroll done this week. I take the information entered by others and run payroll. Someone at the office prints the checks and check stubs. No matter how we figure this out I will have to make at least one run to the office in order to get everyone paid. 2020, the year the keeps on sucking.
