I hate to interrupt any anti-fluoride people who are still basking in Tuesday’s victory over reason and clear factual evidence—BUT! Did you know there’s a great fluoride discussion going on right now in Seattle about Portland’s vote, and you guys are having your asses handed to you? Even poor Spindles can’t stand the onslaught of laughter and derision coming from our neighbors to the north. You guys should spend the rest of your holiday weekend over there helping him out. If, of course, you actually believe that fluoride is the public menace you say it is.

As they used to say on my school playground: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
