As I sit here in the emergency room with a kidney stone, Fox news is on and Laura Ingraham is spouting her nonsense. My partner dubbed her "the human kidney stone," because of how painful it is to watch.

Damn, it just occurred to me. Rollins, Headset, they remind me of Effie (Elizabeth Banks) from The Hunger Games. Delivering twisted information with a disgusting smirk as if it's not a ridiculous farce.

Oh. Oh boy. It occurs to me that someone might manipulate the markets so that on order to win bets, voters would have to choose a certain candidate. These prediction markets need to be banned.

How does anyone listen to this woman? I couldn't get through more than a minute of her shrill, pedantic argument before I wanted to gouge my own eardrums out. And capital gains aren't income? Mind boggling. Aaron Rupar is clearly a saint for managing to listen to this whole exchange.
