That's a good one, Jay. Certainly you can point to regions of the world that have excessively high natural concentrations of fluoride and yes it can be toxic. I believe Colorado is one such place. Of course the therapeutic levels are much lower than this.

Yes, Libby will go to trial and it will drag out for a couple years. He'll avoid jail until 2008 at which time the pardon will be doled out.

If you have to technology to produce mercury free vaccine that is also completely free of pyrogens then I agree it should be done if it doesn't raise costs excessively.

Our receptionist tells me that Valery Plame was not in fact an undercover operative for the CIA. I asked her were she got that information. She asked me where I got my information and I said The New York Times. Finally she said Fox News and the Internet. I said well, there you go.

If you are that heavy, I'd have a hard time recommending Denalis. I like how they perform but they just don't hold up under heavy loads and don't provide enough floatation at times.

Well Dru, your answer is the sort that I am looking for. The fact that mercury has been removed is not proof that it was ever dangerous, but rather proof that science was not able to convince enough people that it wasn't dangerous.

Many of you have by now heard about the row over the proposal to add fluoride to the drinking water in Bellingham. Opponents have gone so far as to leave dead rats at the door of the dentist who made the proposal. Fluoridation has been around for 100 years and numerous scientific studies have proved it safe at concentrations used to protect teeth. But, as the author of the Times article pointed out, if you Google "Fluoridation" you'll get 8 out of 10 articles from wackos saying it will poison you. Bellingham Fluoride Debate Now my aim is not to debate the issue of fluoridation but rather the "trivialization of science" by the Internet. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Maybe RC.com has had a visit from Uncle Trickey incognito?

Bush is grasping for anything that can divert attention. Now it's Bird Flu. This issue has been smoldering for a couple years. Just coincidence that he brings it up now?

Fred will take them.

Well the Dems just turned it around again by calling a closed session to question why investigations are not being conducted into the false pretenses under which the Iraq War was waged.

You have it, but do you WEAR it?

Any hotter and all the mods will be out in force...oh wait. They already are here.

You meant dungeon, didn't you? You were just being charitable. Where's the Attic?

I'll just throw out an old-fashioned word. Impressive.

Talk about fast cooking by high heat! Just like Carl's Junior.

Everything's up to date in Kansas City. They've gone about as fur' as they can go...

Five -foot two eyes of blue, but oh what those five feet can do...

...leave your worries by the door mat.

Stick a fork in what?

Someone's spoiling for a fight!

So she basically has "splitter" plumbing to make it all possible.

Nice touch. Even remember to capitalize Him.

Oh yes, I've seen them. No idea what's private property or not. I've heard that you can get arrested for trespass in certain places.
