This just boggles the mind and probably doesn’t thrill those leaders of the Tea Party that don’t want to look like crazy people. Long story short, a city in Florida (see here) voted to remove fluoride from their drinking water, which is, you know, a bad idea under pressure from local Tea Party activists. Apparently it has something to do with government mind control. Not much you can say about this one. I certainly don’t agree with any (all) of the Tea Party’s ideological positions, but this is just ridiculous.
Anyway, that’s a nice note to leave on. I’m heading to Honduras tomorrow for my honeymoon for two weeks, and it’s highly unlikely I’ll be motivated to post. Unfortunately, Honduras isn’t holding its Presidential election while Rachel and I are there like the last time I was in Guatemala. I guess I’ll just have to console myself with beautiful beaches and ancient Mayan ruins.
