Martin Shkreli Humiliated in Davis, California

When you mix Martin Shkreli, a Republican club, and California, you're not going to get a good result and students at the University of California in Davis shut him down.  (RT:  Protests shutdown Milo Yiannopoulos, 'pharma bro' at UC Davis)

Good job, Davis, another of my ex-hometowns.


You know Shkreli and you hate him, want him to get sucked into a jet engine and ...

Well, maybe not the jet engine but I know he has no friends here as I don't think anyone sees him as more than the wannabe bad boy of Big Pharma when actually he's as common as bad teeth which have generally the same effect.


There hasn't been much observation of it but we trashed Tricky Dick Nixon for doing exactly the same damn thing to protestors as Obama has done and yet Barry gets a pass?  Fuck him.

We have already seen the protest against Big Pharma is building some serious energy.  When Trump and Sanders want the same thing, that deal will be easy to make.  (Ithaka:  Trump and Sanders Go to War on Big Pharma)


What we haven't seen yet is the big war.  So long as Trump stays on practical rather than moral matters, he will probably be ok but Republicans are the most obsessive and notorious stickybeaks of all time and your business is their business.  There's a call in Congress right now for a blanket ban on abortion and you know you don't need to be Kreskin to see the future in that one.

Suffragettes will rise out of their graves and bring an enraged plague of the undead for trying to pull this bullshit.

I don't care if you have a personal, hand-signed note from the Pope, you have no right to tell me how to plan my family.

You know the position and the entire movement isn't negotiable on it so there's no possible chance this will go easily.  If you want people in the streets, this will be one peach of a way to do it.


Obama is still driving right up until the turnover so anything he should do on Inauguration Day will likely get blamed on Trump.  There's almost zero evidence people are fully cognizant of just how evil Obama has been against protest but how about this helpful reminder.


- OWS protest at UC Davis and the pig is using MACE

Look at that fat gut.  He can't even keep his belt up.

In case you're not clear about 'pig' for this coward.  (SFgate:  UC Davis pepper-spray officer awarded $38,000)

Yah, the cop was the victim.  Oink, oink, oink.

I dint think abortion should be listed as a family planning tool. I have meet far too many ladies who are still trying to resolve emotional issues revolving around that choice.While I cant agree with abortions,I realize that they arent going anywhere. But I can do whatever I can to offer a better option.
I find very few instances where the government provides the best otions.

The government needs to get out of the way of a lot of things. It must be such a heartbreak to be a teacher and someone constantly watches and second-guesses how you do it.

I do think with abortion people have to make their choices and make their peace since there is no good answer except to keep the government away from it. Counseling kids may help them think it through and maybe they wouldn't even get knocked-up in the first place. This goes back to the favorite theme of educate, educate ...

Yep, 'family planning' was too cavalier about it. Agreed.
