1. Pfft. I refer you to Exhibit A (#4).
2. Fish + skin disease = miracle cure? Keep in mind the fish are actually eating the diseased skin.
Maybe they need to get together with this guy.
3. I want one! Can we expand this technology to other organisms? Glowing carrots? Bio-luminescent crocodiles?
4. So now we're allowing men with the emotional maturity of 5-year-olds to be presidents of city councils? I'm actually not sure yet where I stand on the religious-displays-on-public-property issue. I definitely don't think they should ever be paid for by taxes. But as long as they're relatively neutral and hate-free, I don't really care if they're on public property.
But this council president is just using the nativity scene to blow a raspberry at the FFRA. Lame. I'm sure the city council has bigger issues to deal with.
5. There was a federal insane asylum for Native Americans between 1902 and 1933. Really interesting (if sad) stuff. I suppose it makes sense, given that this was (I think) roughly the era of Native American boarding schools, where similar "assimilation" practices were exercised. Except this has the added charm of the asylum director's desire to sterilize the "mentally deficient" patients before releasing them back into the public. And the very real possibility that many "patients" were only sent there because they got on white reservation agents' nerves, not due to any psychological condition.
