Here’s a wrapup, with blog post links, of the main non-Palin news of the last day or so. This has been a busy, busy day beyond RNC-related news items.
1. The MMR vaccine does NOT cause autism.
2. The Sierra Club drinks T. Boone Pickens’ Kool-Aid.
3. The India nuke deal may get nuked.
4. Schadenfreude alert! Porcupines are killing the trees of Telluride’s über-rich.
5. Sen. Briggs & Stratton, Missouri’s Kit Bond, finally, though about half a decade too late, got some EPA comeuppance.

Sorry, Sen. Briggs & Stratton
Sen. Kit Bond’s long stall job on cleaner-running lawn mowers is finally up, it seems. The EPA has ordered a 35-percent cut in mower engine emissions, starting with 2011 models.
Why did Kit Bond hate American homeowners and lawn-care workers?
But, Bond did get us half a decade or so of additional air pollution and greenhouse gases.
“The total estimated public health benefits range between $1.6 and $4.4 billion by 2030. These benefits outweigh estimated costs by at least eight to one, while preventing over 300 premature deaths, 1,700 hospitalizations, and 23,000 lost workdays annually.”
