mind-blowing

i bought a paper this morning and finally sat down to read it at 7:03, and what did i come across? an article saying that the white house heavily edited congressional testimoney given yesterday by the CDC regarding the health risks of climate change.

the document including the original remarks submitted for approval "was eviscerated" by the white house, according to a CDC official. and you will be surprised to hear that the white house had 'no comment.'

i know it's a tired cliche, but there is some seriously orwellian shit going down these days.

UPDATE: i first read about this on page a13 of the l.a. times (hmmmm, kind of important info to bury so far in the back, ain't it?), but now i see it's getting some legs.

speaking of legs, some animals got out of those cali fires as quickly as their little legs could carry them, and they need your help.
