And, we again have King William of Monica to thank for the "tail wagging the dog" syndrome in America.

"Timothy, a first-grader from Ada Elementary, is allergic to peanuts. "

""He was allergic to everything when he was little. His brother is allergic to peanuts, too," Jane Haverkamp, Timothy's mother, said. "He never had a life-threatening emergency with peanuts, but we don't keep any at home." "

He's allergic to "everything"? THEN, why isn't he a "bubble boy"? Why is he allowed to breath anything other than filtered, sterile, air? Is he allergic to water? (Well, she said 'everything').

Is this a new epidemic? The "peanut" sickness? I've never heard of such nonsense until the last 10 years or so...about the same time lawyers started doing television advertising. (ahem).

First the airlines, and now the ballparks. Is there anyplace we don't have to shut down and deny the masses their right to pacify the needs of a few? It's a ballpark...ballparks have peanuts. Wear a mask...or stay home.

You don't have a "right" to go to a ballpark. It's private property and the owner is choosing not to sell a certain product at a certain time.

Wear a mask...or stay home.

Actually, if you don't like the ballpark's rules, you're the one who should stay home.

Where was I when the airlines and ballparks shut down? Did I miss that?

This ball park chose not to have peanuts. If you want to have peanuts and watch a baseball game...stay at home.

You know, I thought this might be the one thread today where nothing is blamed on Clinton. Oh well.
