Useless and Random

Any money I would have gotten from writing this blog is donated to the National Capital Poison Control Center. They rely on grants, save lives, and decrease health care costs. So read this blog every day!

What I'm reading, watching, and rating:

SawMichael Clayton*** out of 5

ReadMiddlesex**** out of 5

Hello CPSC, these are peoples' lives!

For those of you in any field that deals with health, you may know this feeling. Fortunately this is rare but in the past two weeks I've been completely exasperated at 3 different meetings and discussions I've been to. Without...

ACSH is a joke. No really. Like, Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho!

Elizabeth "never met a toxic chemical I didn't like" Whelan of ACSH fame posted on HuffPo Wed. an interesting little post that ripped the EPA for funding a study to figure out if/what environmental factors among children, over their childhood,...

Stupidity of lying

I'm angry so today you get what you came for... I wrote a post on Autism and Vaccines a while back that went through why there are people still arguing about this and took the position that I don't think...

Al Gore: Not Omnipotent

Gee, ya think? At Al Gore's daughter's wedding he, gasp, ate some Chilean Sea Bass, which is endangered. A lot of people are getting in a huff about this. Hmm...Possibly, possibly it could be because Mr Gore didn't look over,...
