…who was declaring his endorsement of Barack Obama. Yay!

I thought this was interesting and truly telling about McCain’s go-nowhere empty promises and bullshit. The issue here is the Florida Everglades, an issue that is apparently important to the famous swing state.

“He was forced to explain why he voted to oppose a major piece of legislation that promised $2bn for restoration of the Everglades. Why, he was asked, did he vote that way if he was such an environmentalist?”

“‘I am committed to saving the Everglades,’ Mr McCain said. ‘I will do whatever is necessary to do so and have made that clear.’”

Oh yes Mr. McCain, but as you know, actions speak louder than words.

All I have to say is HELL YEAH!

This article caught my attention yesterday because I work with developmentally disabled adults. The research in this article has found that there is a possible link between mental illness in parents with autistic children. While this would be great at linking certain genetic qualities to autism, this article worries me a bit and I feel the need to provide some education on the subject.

That’s right, for all you activists out there still insisting that the solution to Virginia Tech could have been saved by a crowded room of scared, untrained students all firing at once, here is a situation that was actually handled correctly!
