Now you can listen to this article on The PonkaBlog Podcast! I’ve said several times that if someone could come up with a good enough argument for me to get vacksinated, I’d do it. Today, I’m going to let you know exactly what it would take to convince me. It’s
Simone Biles withdrew from Olympic competition earlier this week. Unfortunately, she was already at the Olympics. I have to admit, at first I was on team “Stop Being a Whiny Little Baby”. I thought she should’ve just sucked it up and done her job. Then I thought some more. First,
I’m really glad I haven’t been vacksinated. Because I think if I did it would ruin my life. OK. Maybe ruin is a bit too strong word. Or maybe it isn’t. Let me tell you what I’m thinking. There are two types of people who would willingly allow themselves to

Yesterday, the US Women’s Soccer Team lost to Sweden 3-0 in their opening match. Contrary to what pundits are saying, this wasn’t a “You go woke, you go broke” situation. No, the US team lost because the team from Sweden simply played better. In reality, both teams knelt before the
We’ve been hearing a lot about “breakthrough cases” recently. A “breakthrough” case is someone who has been fully vacksinated against COVID and still contracts the disease. No big shocker there.
