So If The Senate Bill Still Stinks …

March 23, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so if the Senate stimulus agreement still stinks to high hell for you, you’re okay.

Anosmia, the loss of sense of smell, and ageusia, an accompanying diminished sense of taste, have emerged as peculiar telltale signs of Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and possible markers of infection

“We really want to raise awareness that this is a sign of infection and that anyone who develops loss of sense of smell should self-isolate,” Prof. Claire Hopkins, president of the British Rhinological Society, wrote in an email. “It could contribute to slowing transmission and save lives.”

So, when you see a bill that allows stimulus money to pay bonuses to executives or allows stock buy backs, and you want to upchuck, you ain’t got the virus.

You lose your sense of taste, too.  So go buy some Texas barbecue and some North Carolina barbecue.  If you spit out the North Carolina vinegar laced roast beef, you’re alright.

 

Be social and share!

    Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, color me st00pid, but contacting our Senators. Again. Thing is Democrats and Republicons cannot agree on how to help people and businesses. So, why not split the bills? Seriously. Write and vote on one for we the people. Then hassle over the next bill for businesses. And yeah, we get it that Moscow Mitch hates giving up his hostage taking leverage that way. And for certain we do not give a rat’s bar of soap if that would upset Donnie.*

    PS Thanks for the medical advice because we’ve had this really foul taste in our mouths for more than 3 years. While Moscow Mitch has been annoying our sinuses for well over 10 years.

    The British Chancellor or the Exchequer has said the Betis will get 80% of pay through the rest of the year plus of course medical benefits. Why is this so hard in DC? Oh, it’s all about the GOP clients, I forgot. Never mind!

  5. For those of us who don’t eat meat, I guess the response would be to not spitting out day old hush puppies…

    The Democrats should wait a few days and see how many Republicans Rand Paul has infected. When they’re in the majority, call for a vote.

    On a more WTF? note, why is trump offering help to North Korea while American mayors and governors plead for it? I thought he was all about “America First.”

    No self respecting Tar Heel would put a really wonderful BBQ sauce on anything that came from a cow.

    God intended BBQ to be something you do with pigs. I think it’s in Leviticus.

    @Wyatt_Earl, I fully support people’s preferences for food. I frankly like most all BBQ, whether cow or pig. And we can argue all day about BBQ, sugar in cornbread, cornbread in dressing, bla bla bla. But I really think we need to leave God out of it. I suspect that Leviticus (being part of the Torah) tells people in no uncertain terms to avoid eating pigs.

  9. The real test is with genuine what you folks call Buffalo Wings. Made properly with Frank’s Hot Sauce, vinegar and butter, normal noses can smell them in the next room. If you can’t tell when they are right under your nose you are in deep trouble

    I thank my fellow Tar Heels for coming to the defense of one of our two native religions. I’m fairly certain that Leviticus carries little weight here, since Wyatt Earl #7 is absolutely correct about the carcass of choice for BBQ as God intended (not all tomato-and-sugary). The other religion, of course, is basketball, of which there is none in the Time of Cholera….er, Covid19.

    And Montag (Fahrenheit 451, anyone?) is correct about good wings.

    Since all our local salons will be closing Wednesday at 5, I’m glad the WMDBS is still open for business!
