Dr. Oz and the curious case of apple juice. Dr. Oz warns of arsenic levels in apple juice on national television. The FDA (a government agency) disputes that claim, faulty science was used.

Justice is Color Blind, Right? Not for Rick Perry. Texas Governor, and Republican Presidential Hopeful, Rick Perry refused to stay an execution where the jury heard that the defendant was more likely to reoffend because he was black. The U.S. Supreme Court thankfully remembers that we are all equal under the law. How this issue was raised before this week is a question that will bother many. I don’t know. But what I do know is that jurors should NEVER have heard such a statement and no person should ever utter such a statement. No educated, credentialed person who would qualify as an expert in this modern age should make this type of statement. No science exists to support such an outrageous and damaging idiotic conclusion. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial. If you don’t like that MOVE TO CHINA.
