New Report Says: Jenny McCarthy's Son May Not Have Had Autism After All « Hollywood Life
"Many applaud Jenny, who has never stopped fighting to help her son since his autism diagnosis in 2005. Others say her claims about immunizations have labeled “a menace to public health” by the Center of Disease Control."
I'm curious about that last sentence. Others say the CDC has labeled her "a menace to public health"? Others say? Don't investigative reporters check their facts?

Criminalizing human progress
Salman Rushdie, 1990: “The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas – uncertainty, progress, change – into crimes.”

Are the teabaggers confused?
According to this article, the Boston Tea Party was not a protest against high taxes; it was a protest against taxation without representation. It states the protest occurred after the price of taxed tea was reduced to undercut the price of smuggled tea. In other words, they were revolting to pay higher prices.
According to the teabaggers' website, the purpose of their movement is to reduce taxes and government spending.
Am I missing something?

The Mardi Gras king cake
The Mardi Gras king cake | Life and style | guardian.co.uk
I do not live in an area that celebrates Mardi Gras, but for some reason my supermarket had a few of these on sale the other day.
It looked like a bunch of cinnamon rolls smushed together with glow-in-the-dark lard frosting and some unidentifiable plastic things stuck on top. Shocked
I looked it up today on the Internet. Apparently it's some ill-tasting pastry with a plastic baby Jesus baked inside. It's your Lord and Savior and cake, all in one!
Many things come to mind.
A. How do you bake plastic inside a pastry? Is it a magic plastic?
B. Why baby Jesus? It's the time of year observing his death and resurrection, not his birth. Or would it be too creepy to have a adult bearded hippy god peeping out of your dessert? Creepier than an infant in a diaper?
C. Why do this at all?
D. Wouldn't the son of god prefer being baked into a tastier dish than this one?
E. Does the use of neon frosting give Jesus extra special honor?
