Kim Stagliano put a piece up on HuffPo regarding a big giant wiener… okay, it’s not really about a “wiener,” but the ignoramous Michael WEINER Savage and his moronic comments about kids with autism.

As I was reading the piece I kept thinking, “Damn, Kim’s like an angry Mama Bear protecting her cubs!”

You should definitely head over to The Huffington Post immediately and read the piece… leave a comment while you’re there to support Kim-Bear!

P.S.  When you’re done reading Kim’s piece and letting her know how great she is, come back here and answer this question for me:  Don’t you just love her?!?

P.P.S.  The first (and only) time I saw Kim in person, she was wearing these oh-so-80’s white shades (hense why I put shades on the bear).

There are two new posts up on Age of Autism this morning.  THIS one and THIS one.  Please hop over and read them ASAP, they are fantastic.

The Air Force and GWOT; An Egregious Failure of Leadership

Friday, July 15, 2008 was like any other morning. I got up, turned on my pc, fixed my coffee, and sat down to check out what was happening in the world. My typical morning of checking my email and catching up on the news while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes was quickly transformed. I checked my email to find an article sent to me by a fellow Air Force spouse on the east coast. As I read the article, I found myself instantly wide awake and shaking from head to toe with complete disbelief and outrage! It really takes the extreme to anger me to the point that I am shaking from head to toe. This was not just any article. Read the rest of this entry »

Today I had to take my thirteen year old daughter to her pediatrician for a sports checkup.  I knew when I made the appointment the doctor would encourage me to agree to the Gardasil vaccine (and probably others).

My daughter and I arrived at the office and were placed in an exam room.  A quick glance around and I saw this new addition since our last visit 9 months ago:

Just walked in the door from taking my teenage daughter for a sports physical.  I have much to say and even a picture I took from within the walls of the exam room.  I am working on the post and will have it up soon.  Needless to say, I am sickened by the experience.  So many girls LIMPING out of the office.  Please check back in a few hours (Charlie is begging to get on the computer for a bit so I can’t post right now).

Savage: People with autism are “Brats”, “Idiots” and “Putzes.”

Broadcaster Michael Savage is well known for his attacks on African-Americans, Latinos, minorities, women, gays, liberals and immigrants. In a recent broadcast, he added sick and disabled children to the list of groups that he hates. Read the rest of this entry »

Found this piece of genius over at autismparents.net this morning.  Funny stuff!  (The graphic is mine, the words are from the site).

Michael Savage Autism Apology!

In an article on ajc.com, we learn today that new research shows some parents of autistic children appear to be “socially aloof, providing more evidence that some aspects of autism are hereditary.” Are they kidding?

Let’s try to go slow so all you researchers can keep up (stop me if you need time to process): Read the rest of this entry »

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”

Edward R Murrow

Any given day in our house, you could possibly hear the following words yelled by some family member or another, “CHARLIEEEE!!!  You little hacker!”  And then the entire house will erupt into a fit of laughter.  The cause?  Why, Charlie, of course.

It was apparent a few years ago, our son had special abilities with passwords.  Now, to be honest, I have to admit I think it is more a case of him seeing what we are typing, and not so much actually “hacking” into our accounts.  But, it was months before we all understood that he was watching our finger strokes on the keyboard and memorizing those passwords.
