Sarcasm Is An Indirect Form Of Anger

Behaviorists who study such things say that sarcasm is an indirect form of anger. If that is indeed true then the speeches at this year’s Republican convention, especially those of Romney, Giuliani, and the vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin dripped with that subsurface anger. But what are they angry about? Are they angry that the last eight years of Republican control has been so disastrous that they feel power slipping from their hands?

U.S. Priority for Vaccine Distribution

U.S. Priority for Vaccine Distribution   Vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic are under development all around the world. Initial vaccines are expected to be approved by the end of the year, however availability will be limited until production can be ramped up as there are over 7 billion people in the world and over 300 million residents of the United States.  The logistical hurdles of distributing and administering the vaccine will be extraordinary.  And the priority for individuals to get the vaccine is being established. PRIORITY ONE:  First responders PRIORITY TWO:  Elderly  PRIORITY THREE:  Individuals with underlying health conditions  PRIORITY FOUR:  Those who have been wearing masks, which largely protects those assholes who refuse to do so.
