Governor's comments on BPA galvanize enviromentalists

Enviromentalists say they are more than determined to ban a chemical used in baby bottles and other children's products, despite Governor Paul LePage's comments.

The comments, which LePage made last week, have drawn criticism from health and enviromental activists throughout Maine and across the country.

LePage said he hasn't seen enough scienitific evidence to support a ban on Bisphenol-A. He said that the only bad thing about the BPA is that it might give women "little beards." Enviromentalists say protecting babies and children is no joke.

"As far as the comment as to growing hair, people have to lighten up man. You have got to develop a sense of humor in this job," said the Governor.

4. So he believes it causes litlle beards

but doesn't understand that that indicates that it's probably screwing around with hormones or cell growth or gene expression or something?

6. It was an unfortunate case of a split vote n/t

11. The democrat in the race should have dropped out and threw her

support behind the Independent, who was a former democrat and a moderate. But the democrat could not bring herself to make the right choice, even as she saw that she could not possibly win.

[catgirl]

12. Her numbers fell sharply too late in the game

I think she would have, if it had happened sooner. Ironically, it was her bashing of Bush that led to her downfall. Ugh.
