Irrationality Causes The Right To Miss The Point

Conservative blogger JournalJim has a point on his blog (http://www.journaljim.com/?p=4). We don’t really know what caused the Tomato Salmonella outbreak last month. And that’s the problem.

Jim correctly points out that depending on one’s issue du jour, the outbreak may have been caused by global warming, or George Bush’s castration efforts at the FDA. Maybe it’s one, the other or both!

Who cares? We need to get to the bottom of this and fast. People are dying, and what’s the response from the right?

They make jokes.

This irrational defense of this failed administration disregards any facts about the consequences of allowing our government to ignore these very real threats to our survival. We need the FDA to be properly funded AND MANAGED.
