From Michael Bloomberg on Charley Rose.

~ We had one accident where two firefighters were killed during the cleanup of the world trade center (for rebuilding). Except for that one incident we haven't had any deaths during the rebuilding of the world trade center. .....

From the Tea Party debates about Perry's mandated vaccination program.

~ And Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, looking to siphon support from Perry's base of evangelical and tea party supporters, said: "To have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat out wrong." She also noted that that the company that makes the vaccine, Merck & Co., employed Mike Toomey, Perry's former chief of staff, as a lobbyist in Texas, and that the drug company had donated to Perry's campaigns. .....
