Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust
By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 The beloved Bo Dietl, our in-studio guest this morning, is never better than when he is ‘Linguistitating’, inventing words of such etymological genius even Norm Crosby would be ‘Flabbergastrated’. Today, he was giving out ‘Kadoos’...
Monday, February 22, 2010 Hey y’all, you know, Lent is always a difficult time in the kitchen, because it’s a time of sacrifice and repentance, and not eating meat. So here’s my recipe for my "Lenten ‘Mea Culpa’ Mounds." First you take a Leek. Not the kind you have to take after you’ve drunk too much beer, I’m talking about the onion-like vegetable.
Monday, February 22, 2010 Tommy James was our guest in the greenroom today. The man responsible for ‘Hanky Panky’, ‘Crimson and Clover’, ‘Mony Mony’, ‘Crystal Blue Persuasion’, ‘Draggin’ the Line’— songs from the soundtrack of my life. As I shook his hand, I said, (perhaps somewhat too overenthusiastically), ‘I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW!!!’
Friday, February 19, 2010 Somehow, the world doesn’t seem the same cold, stark place when you’re walking around with a slice of olive loaf in each shoe... Show of hands, who thinks Jerry Van Dyke is our greatest National Treasure?
Thursday, February 18, 2010 In the course of a discussion with Warner Wolf about Tiger Woods’ press conference / apology, the I-Man mentioned Tiger’s desire to get one of his girlfriends out of the porn industry. Somehow, he got around to suggesting that Warner might want to try to get into an adult film...
