So the guy who claims to have reduced the price of medicine by 1500% thinks the BLS jobs numbers look incorrect? How can anybody be so stupid to support such an obvious moron?

The law enforcement spokesman at the FSU shooting said "... we will not tolerate this type of activity..." Sorry, but when you don't do anything to stop an activity, you are tolerating the activity.
