But… but the covid vaccines aren’t fully authorized yet!

Yeah, whereas the CDC has fully authorized the horse-worms drug for human use.

Oh, wait: t_hey haven’t_.

Possibly the something it will do about those brainworms is make them horse-sized.

_That_ would be interesting, at least…

Can the CDC shut down FOX when they are a public health risk?

The Week gives a panoply of Fox awfulness in relation to the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban,

> **[Fox News' Tucker Carlson blames Taliban gains on 'grotesque' gender studies](https://theweek.com/fox-news/1003818/fox-news-tucker-carlson-blames-taliban-gains-on-grotesque-gender-studies)**

Carlson: Afghanistan went over to the Taliban because US colleges offer gender studies courses and men to become pregnant.

Ingram: Since I personally didn’t promise to save locals translators etc. who helped our troops in Afghanistan, fuck 'em.

Hannity: Why let a world tragedy go to waste when you can use it to hock cell phones.

It’s unfair to insinuate that Fox News is taking political advantage of the Afghanistan debacle.

It only represents the _top 15_ stories on their website at the moment.

If you want to stock up on ivermectin cheap, don’t overlook Tractor Supply’s apple-flavored ivermectin paste for horses.

Excellent on the oat treats!  
The oat treats are actually good, just an extra crunchy, not that sweet, oatmeal cookie.

I have to offer a firm Neigh on that one; I’m not a member of the Q colt.

(Apologies if there have already been Neigh jokes in this thread. I certainly don’t mean to stirrup trouble.)

Better rein\* it in a bit; you don’t want someone to bridle at your puns.

- I’m usually as descriptivist as they come, linguistically, but I still cringe every time I see “reign” in this context…

I suppose you could “Rainn it in” in reference to Rainn Wilson, television’s Dwight Schrute.
