For anyone who happens to follow American politics...
A quote from Republican senator and presidential hopeful John McCain:
“It’s indisputable that autism is on the rise among children,” Senator John McCain said while campaigning recently in Texas. “The question is, What’s causing it? And we go back and forth, and there’s strong evidence that indicates that it’s got to do with a preservative in vaccines.”

*facepalm*
[Edit: Given some time to assemble language around my opinions, I do have two personal-perspectivish notes. 1) If I weren't already determined to try to elect Someone Else (a Democrat, for instance..), McCain would've lost my vote right there. 2) I can't believe his staff let him say that. Politicians have minders for a reason.]
