I spit on young Bobby. He and his family delayed wind energy by 10 years. Faux environmentalist.

Salon retracts autism-vaccine link article by DougJarvus Green-Ellis They should have done this a long time ago, but credit to Salon for finally retracting the report they published (jointly with Rolling Stone) in 2005 linking vaccines with autism. The report was authored by Robert F Kennedy Jr., which makes it hard for me to bite my tongue when I hear people talk (and they often do) about how great he is. Because I have severe asthma, its imperative that I get vaccines for diseases that attack the lungs.....flu, pneumonia, and whooping cough. When you have people like Bill Maher or B. Kennedy talking trash about vaccines, it makes you wonder if you are screwing up your body for getting these vaccines. And I suspect its worse for parents who fear they may have screwed up their kids. I have worked with autistic children.......its a very special disease. To blame it on the vaccines parents got for their kids in order to protect them was just cruel. Thank God Salon set the record straight.

Things are off to an interesting start in ALA. Alabama's New Governor Wants Everyone to Become a Christian Hours before taking the oath of office yesterday, Governor-elect of Alabama Robert Bentley gave a speech saying that he intends to unite Alabamans and that he is "color blind." Everyone felt great! Then Bentley said he wants everyone to convert. Yeah, the speech took a slightly strange turn. From the Birmingham News: "'Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters. So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother." Um, OK! Now granted, he was at a church. But it was the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, and it was a speech given in honor of Martin Luther King Day. So it was, again, about unity and whatnot. The unity of everyone converting to Christianity, I guess! gawker.com
