Hell of a thing, ain't it? I remember the tail end of Regan as a child. I come from evangelicals, these are the sort of events I would expect them to freak out about, but instead, they're willingly along for the ride.

AP telling the same story. Looked like Reuters was, as well, at a quick glance. So I guess this is confirmed.
What a terrible thing.
I started laughing my ass off at this and then my wife wanted to see what was so funny and now I'm not allowed to do this.
Makes me sad.
The most recent research I heard was that human transmission was highly unlikely. It was kind of a big deal and happy news. The experiment involved high prion concentrations and human cells with a long exposure.
A few years ago, there was successful primate transfer, IIRC.
This is something I watch pretty closely.
Best controls are natural predators or heavy hunting to reduce population density.
How would you compare it to venison?
Neat. I think it goes back at least to the '90s. It's a great descriptive word. I really hope it doesn't get picked up by the wrong sorts. They already stole my yellow snake flag.
If it goes that far, it's probably all over the US.
As the other commenter noted, heebie jeebies. In the US South it has been rounded off to "the heebs." No racial connotation. Similar to being spooked or apprehensive without a known danger. Slang term. Never thought about it being mistaken.
Another slang term I use that is similar and is easily mistaken is, "bad juju." It means bad magic, bad luck, or a curse. One day, when I build my dream car, I want it on a vanity plate.
Correct. US southern English.
I call it getting the heebs. Seeing a weird turn of phrase will set it off for me. This is my first time experiencing it from a leftist slant.
Used to watch the Russians clock in and go to work on TheDonald back in the day. They were really obvious.
The AstroTurf here is pretty nice, smells so much like grass you about can't smell the bullshit. Better than Reddit, or Digg, or Slashdot, for now.
Maybe it's time to take a trip down the Mother Road and try Usenet for actual discussion.
I'm sorry for your loss. They murdered your mother for profit and it enrages me. I've personally suffered at the bloody hands of the insurance companies as well. The insurance companies fill me with a cold deep rage. I hope all their leaders know fear before they come to their end.
I have kids as well. I'm no longer religious but I believe in Saint Luigi and pray that others are inspired by his noble actions. Truly.
If you're willing, please share the name of the insurance company and the CEO that murdered your mother for money.
