This is why you should always be suspicious of emergencies, indeed of anyone who tells you to worry about things you can’t control.” Matt Taibbi, Hate Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another, OR Books, 2019, p. 209.

It's a little bit country, a little bit folky, and a whole lotta awesome sauce. #rediscoveredgems #bernie2020 #Sanders2020 #awesometown #lauraveirs #treatyoself
