From online story: "The doctor accused of falsifying a link between childhood vaccines and autism is also alleged to have orchestrated a scheme to make more than $43 million, according to an investigation by the British Medical Journal. * Dr. Andrew Wakefield is accused of plotting to form hush-hush businesses that would profit from the scare over the MMR vaccine -- the one for mumps, measles and rubella given to children -- in both the U.K. and the U.S." -- If this is charge is but half true, it makes Wakefield the "Al Gore" of 'Global Medicine'. If it's fully true, every parent of an austic child should be given a bucket full of stones and 5 minutes alone with Wakefield.

Online headline: "Gibbs Spars With Russian Reporter Over Tucson Shooting and U.S. Freedoms" -- While Gibbs actually defended America well in the exchange, I have to wonder why a reporter from the newspaper of a foreign country, any foreign country, was even in the press release room in the White House.

We ARE in trouble. FOX News had the chair of the psychology department at Columbia on advocating that teachers be given power to order/force mental exams of students, and the Fox 'babe' agreed with him! Look what giving teachers the power to make students take ritalin or be suspended/ousted from schools. I couldn't believe my ears; a FOX News reporter advocating more government nannyism.

The L-E has moved back a century. I could understand a mechanical problem delaying the delivery of the print edition, which is why I subscribe to the digital edition, but today, the digital edition is late. With back up systems and stacked hard drive storage, there is no reason for the digital edition to be late...unless, of course, the IT guy quit and Dusty Nix is the go-to-fixit-guy.

I thought it was pretty amusing that when VPOTUS was going around Afghanistan military positions, he had to introduce himself to the troops; and the media was concerned about Sarah Palin as our VEEP. Bet every soldier would have known, well, actually does know, who she is. BTW, our VPOTUS is Joe Biden for those who might not remember......

L-E headline: "Higher energy and food costs lift wholesale prices " -- And how do the powers that be in GA respond? GA Power is given a rate increase, and the GA House wants to start taxing food again at the higher rates. Nice timing, good ol' boys!

Oh, the "trade deficit" narrowed..but not because more American goods were shipped overseas, but because American consumers bought less imports (as well as less American made goods).

How about those 1st time unemployment numbers? Shouldn't have been a surprise except the potUS Imam-a administration promoted all those temp Christmas jobs(which people are losing now) as real job growth last month.
