Hope the person is okay.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

There is some sad irony in McClatchy shutting its DC bureau the same day that Dick Cheney died. That bureau (then Knight-Ridder) did some of the best, most skeptical reporting anywhere in the run-up to the Iraq War. And they took a lot of shit for it at the time. www.cato.org/commentary/q...

On Election Day, the president announces that he will defy a court order so as to deprive millions of Americans of food.
