Black Hills Bighorn Mountains Historical Foundation commissioned an art piece to Commemorate the 120th Anniversary of the Little Big HornBighorn. When the painting was unveiled all present were shocked by what was represented. In the center of the Painting was a large throne upon which sat a fish with a halo and that fish was surrounded by hundreds of Sioux engaged in various forms of sexual intercourse.

The board members were furious and one dowager cried, “What is the  meaning of this?”
The artist replied, “It’s my interpretation of Custer’s last words... Holy mackerel! Look at all the fucking Indians!”

It's a classic.   I suggest a small tweak,  for geographical accuracy.

The battle was in the Powder River country, a couple hundred miles northwest of the Black Hills.

I once heard it with “Holy Cow!”

VA refuses to be led by the nose.  Good for them.

Led by the nose?

Hydroxychloroquine: Trump's Covid-19 'cure' increases deaths, global study finds
Malaria drug should not be used to treat coronavirus, scientists say, after study shows high death rate

The authors of the paper pulled together results for more than 96,000 patients in 671 hospitals, taking one of the drugs, with or without an antibiotic such as azithromycin, between 20 December and 14 April.

The death rate among all groups taking the drugs was higher than among people who were not given them. One in six of those taking one of the drugs died, while one in five died if they were taking chloroquine with an antibiotic, and one in four if they were on hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic. The death rate among patients not taking the drugs was one in 11.

The statistics are not exactly comparable because, as this was not a trial, there were differences in the age, gender, general health and stage of illness of the patients. But the US authors of the study say, allowing for these differences, there was still higher mortality among those taking the drugs.

The team also found that serious cardiac arrhythmias, which cause the lower chamber of the heart to beat rapidly and irregularly, were more common in all the groups receiving one of the four treatment regimens. The biggest increase was in the group treated with hydroxychloroquine in combination with an antibiotic, where 8% of patients developed a heart arrhythmia compared with 0.3% of patients not given the drugs.

“This is the first large-scale study to find statistically robust evidence that treatment with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine does not benefit patients with Covid-19,” said Prof Mandeep R Mehra, lead author of the study and executive director of the Brigham and Women’s hospital advanced heart disease center in Boston, US.

“Instead, our findings suggest it may be associated with an increased risk of serious heart problems and increased risk of death. Randomised clinical trials are essential to confirm any harms or benefits associated with these agents. In the meantime, we suggest these drugs should not be used as treatments for Covid-19 outside of clinical trials.”

Still not a study done with placebos. But the only reason the VA is not being "led by the nose" is that they have been ordered to ignore the science.

The person being led by the nose is you, Kid.

Ha!   Yeah,  sounds familiar to me,  too.   Mackerel is a funnier mental image,  tho.

I've got to hand it to Josh - even his echoes are well researched.

Well I got thrown off Twitter for the day..

Terence k. Williams tried to clap back at me and I got the boot. I guess my arrow hit the mark.

Almost sorry what’s his face isn’t here to call me a racist.

The Secretary of State of Michigan is a criminal, according to the president, for sending out 7.7 million absentee ballots "without authorization." Trump explained that this will lead to great voter fraud.

1) The SoS of Michigan did not send out 7.7 million absentee ballots. Applications were sent out.
2) Sending out absentee ballot applications is legal
3) The SoS is authorized to do that and needs nobody else's say so to do it.
4) There is no evidence to support Trump's claims of rampant voter fraud in Michigan or anywhere else.

The small VA study that found hydroxychloroquine is more often harmful than helpful was authored by enemies of the Trump administration, if the president is to be believed. No evidence, just hand-waving.

The president was named Michigan Man-of-the-Year, despite nobody's remembering it and there not being any such award.

There may be something he will not lie about, but we haven't found it yet.

Kid, of course, still thinks that fears of Trump and WWIII are overblown.

Another day, another bit of petty BS and all you have to say is "heh."

No opinions about the proposed first nuke test since 1992?

Nothing to say about his assertion that he has the power to dictate the churches be opened?

No deep applause for the former "Michigan Man of the Year?"
