Man knew he had TB before flying to Europe – CNN.com
News: Man knew he had TB before flying to Europe – CNN.com Anyone following this story? There’s a lot of he-said/she-said, but the gist, as I understand it, is the CDC told him not to fly, and he flew anyway because he didn’t want to ruin his wedding/honeymoon.

Repost: Toronto in October, week 1 (10/17/2002)
I originally wrote this on 10/17/2002. Hey, that’s somebody’s birthday! Anyway, this is from when my wife and I were long-distance dating, and is a fairly typical look at one of those Toronto trips.

“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say ‘you helped [...]
