I'm going ape shit

Ok first of all I found this thing:

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/02/john-mccain-ent.html

And I quote from it:
"At a town hall meeting Friday in Texas, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., declared that "there’s strong evidence" that thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that was once in many childhood vaccines, is responsible for the increased diagnoses of autism in the U.S. -- a position in stark contrast with the view of the medical establishment."

WTF John McCain. wtf. Way to totally disregard the scientific community and medical establishment's views. Speaking as a student in public health, this kind of statement is appalling and only goes to perpetuate misconceptions that the science has dispelled. Misconceptions that are causing parents to not frickin vaccinate their damn kids against diseases we SHOULDN'T be seeing in the developed world.

So, it's 9:55 PM Texas time, and according to CNN, Obama and Hillary are deadlocked 49/49 in our great Lone Star State. Obama has Vermont, Hillary has Rhode Island and OHIO (HOLLA!!). Insane in the membrane.

No matter what happens tonight, if McCain becomes 44th president of the United States, I will cry. And then proceed to kill a cute furry animal. Not just because of this vaccine statement (although that makes me even more irate), but because of other fundamental differences we have as well, which should be apparent if you read this blog. (Does anyone read this blog?? I doubt it . . .)

Oh well, back to staring at CNN. (And screaming for Hillary. And ignoring the fact that I have two exams on Thursday).
