The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The goddess recently attended a pharmacology conference where she learned of this story from Mexico City:
Rodolfo Villarreal, Juan Palacios, Keith Parker and Lilian Calderon carried out the study, "Gene inflammatory expression profiling in right versus left ventricles in young urbanites: What is the long-term impact of myocardial inflammation in the setting of air pollution?" The researchers are from the University of Montana (Palacios, Parker, Calderon), the Instituto Nacional de Pediatria in Mexico City (Calderon) and the Big Sky High School in Missoula, Montana (Villarreal).Missoula has a long history of wood-burning stoves and air stagnation alerts. Here is the really creepy part: these toxins are affecting the blood/brain barrier allowing bacteria from mice and dog feces to infect the hearts and brains of children in Mexico City. Higher dog concentrations led to increased rates of infection. The researchers concluded that:
•polluted air can create inflammation, even in the hearts of young individualsMust read: thank you, Michael; you rock!
•the right ventricle responds differently than the left
•endotoxins play a role in the inflammation

Ah, but you misquote my intent. I am actually considering not running. I am considering forming an exploratory committee to examine the advantages to society that would accrue should I not be elected to the So. Dak. statehouse.
Checks, of course, are welcome. It would probably cost in excess of $50k to elect someone of my considerable qualifications, but it would cost far less to dissuade me from squandering said qualifications on an attempt to steer the Chambers of Hunt and Hickey in a more productive direction.
Mail them checks to me!
Well, as i live and breed. Thought you'd never get here.
Kinda like Brewster's Millions with Richard Pryor?
