There are more peanut-allergic kids
Have there been any studies explaining the increase? (I'm a geek for medical studies.)
Oh, and in political stuff, let's play The Blame Game (tm)!
Object of The Game: To get other players to accept all your BlameTM!
Players: The Blame GameTM can be played by any number of people, from 1 to 1 million! Play starts with the player sitting furthest to the right. The player sitting closest to the middle is usually supposed to be the referee, but any player can volunteer.
Equipment: All you need to play is one (1) BlameTM pointer and enough BlameTM for everyone! ...
The Blame GameTM was known in 20th century America as “Accountability!TM”. Back then, “bluffing” was called “lying” and referees were actually supposed to reveal when they saw a player holding a blame card!

FEMA chief relieved of Katrina duties
But he's not being fired, I guess.

Peanut allergies doubled between 1997 and 2002 alone.
Researchers believe there are several reasons for increased rates of peanut allergy in children:
* The increased allergenicity of peanuts when roasted.
* Children eating peanuts when their immune systems are immature.
* The use of topical ointments containing peanut and the use of soy formulas.
But he's not being fired, I guess.
Well, he did such a great job that he's being reassigned to something
really
critical.
like counting all the paperclips in his office.
MSNBC says Michael Brown has *finally* been removed from FEMA.
Except not quite. He's just being pulled away from the Katrina relief, which is a start, but I'm still holding out for the tar and feathers.
How old should a kid be before eating peanuts? I don't want to mess up any nieces/nephews from the joys of peanut butter.
My god, it's just like The Office.
A former mayor of Edmond, Randel Shadid, confirmed that Friday. Shadid told The Associated Press that Brown had been an assistant to the city manager, and never assistant city manager.
Jeez. They're now saying avoid peanuts until 7 years. *That* would be hard.
