I'm not sure why you're linking to a page about radiation contamination near Three-Mile Island.
You've gotta admit, that ambush bug looks unhealthy.
Although what the page says about effects of TMI on human health sounds wildly inflated.
After the accident many people suffered from a kind of sunburn, lost their hair and teeth, and died many years later of cancer. Their suffering as a consequence of the accident is still not recognized.
Strictly speaking, this is true.
4 - Indeed, cranial explosion resulting from Too Much Information is a very rare phenomenon.
5: on the bright side, after the accident many people living close to the plant developed vastly improved muscle tone and co-ordination and acquired the ability to read.
You've never been to central Pennsylvania.
Here is what heebie intended to link to -- if anyone cares.

Oh, damn. That's the link from LW's guest post. Hang on, I'll post it and clean this link up.
More importantly, BG gets an A+ for clicking through the links. And the actual article is super interesting.
13: What about me? Don't I get extra credit for linking to the correct article?
14: You barely met my exceptionally high expectations for you. Sorry!
on the bright side, after the accident many people living close to the plant developed vastly improved muscle tone and co-ordination and acquired the ability to read turned green when provoked, taunted or attacked and wandered from town to town, taking odd jobs and getting into trouble.
16: Clearly, my grade reflects the soft bigotry of low expectations.
18: Well, it's not like you went to the University of Michigan like peep did.
The article in the OP is actually more depressing that I thought. My guess is that it isn't just blind hatred of Obama, but also that they actively resist letting the feds pay for health care (Medicaid is about 80% federal money in a poor state) because they hate the poor in their state and are trying to drive them out.
Drive the poor out of Mississippi? And have what, like a five figure population left?
Enjoyed this Scott Lemieux tweet:
Admittedly, now that the contradictions have been fully heightened I'm sure Mississippi will have single-payer any day now.
22: The expanded Medicaid is covered 100% for some years, and then it will be 90%.
That Supreme Court decision sucks so bad.
22:I don't think it's anything as coherent as driving them out. They just hate poor people and want them to suffer.
27: Also Mississippi is so poor its federal matching rate for preexisting Medicaid is 74%, the highest in the country.
