TRACKBACKS
Without having watched the news yet, because it is still hours away, I know why the price of food is going up: corn. The Administration made it more profitable for corn growers to transfer their feed and food corn stocks to producing ethanol.
Regarding Andrew Speaker, the TB patient. What did his future father-in-law (one of the leading doctors at the CDC in the treatment of TB) know before the wedding and what did the father-in-law know after the wedding about Speaker's condition? When did the father-in-law know about the TB? What did he do about it?
If the father-in-law know before the wedding why did he allow the wedding to take place knowing the groom was flying in for the ceremony? If he knew after the wedding why did he allow his son-in-law to fly back to the States? Why didn't the father-in-law, if he knew, detain the groom or notify the authorities to the whereabouts of the TB carrier?
Why did Speaker have his father, also an attorney, present and recorded the conversations between Speaker and the health department about his travel plans if he didn't think traveling was wrong?
Too many questions and not enough people willing to stand up to Speaker.
