Government, if you’re reading this. . .
I really didn’t mean all that stuff that I said before the war about how Saddam should Join NATO and then open casinos, turning Iraq into the Las Vegas of the Middle East. It was satire, honestly.

Like many of their employees, she can’t afford their health insurance plan. Even if she could, they wouldn’t cover her HIV care because it’s a pre-existing condition. It isn’t even [...]
