RIP Mr. Murphy, spent several fun nights @ Moby Dicks in SF when I lived there…a fine establishment.
How ’bout we hear from the anti-health care reform asshats and see if they still “don’t want their government involved in medicine”, as in they don’t want the govt. involved in fast-tracking a vacine, and/or stockpiling millions of doses…
Asshats! Complete fucking morons, all deserving a nasty case of swine flu, and how appropriately named it would be if/when they get it.
