How the heck did I miss this yesterday?! from TPM: William J. Rice — Who Threw Punch And Lost Finger At Health Rally — May Not Be Charged With Crime

what a dramatic difference, between that “forum” and ours in Ojai.

I’ve heard of benifits for Breast Cancer and for Peace, feeding the hungry, for our military families, for the homeless, for the high school Athletic Dept; this is the first benifit concert I’ve ever heard of that results screwing hard working people and their families. And also, BTW, results in increasing global warming and pollution because of the extra miles that will have to be driven from Solidad Cyn or Landcaster.
Dear BC (as in Before the Common Era or Before Christ),
Your mind is as antediluvian as your attitudes.
Your retrograde nonsense is repulsive, and all that would turn me away from your inner ugliness in horror…
