I Will Give You a Dollar to Be Quiet Ms. Palin

The former governor of Alaska, Mrs. Sarah Palin does not like it when people say "retarded." I do not like it when she says...well basically anything at all.

So here's the deal...Ms. Palin, you stop talking and I'll stop saying "retarded," i.e. the R word.

Until then...I'm reading an article right now about chemotherapy. It's called, "Sulforaphane retards the growth of human PC-3 xenografts and inhibits HDAC activity in human subjects," found in Experimental Biological Medicine. It deals with how certain chemicals are showing progress in slowing the growth of colon tumors.

I'm also reading an article about SSRI (Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors), "Do SSRIs Retard Growth in Adolescents?" published in The Journal of Psychiatry and dealing with whether anti-depressents stunt the growth of adolescents.

Anyway...it's all up to you Ms. Palin: continue talking and retarding the progress of intelligent conservatism or do us all a favor and go home.
