This is second part of a series of investigative videos on Peeps (the original video is posted below). Friends, if you’ve got any humanity, you will forward, facebook, tweet, fleep, and speep this. Please, for the Peeps.
Here’s the write-up:

“Innocent peeps continue to be cruelly victimized in this newspaper’s annual Peeps diorama contest. In the second of a series of investigative videos on mistreatment of these innocent creatures, reporter Jim Ragsdale seeks out a scientist to discuss peep health. Dr. Michael Osterholm, world renowned expert in public health, disease and pandemics, blows the whistle on a major threat to health of the peeps — and to the entire planet.”

and, for those who may have missed it, here’s the first video that launched this important series:

We went here today.

Jess: Someone somewhere said that everyone should have a poem memorized. I don’t remember the reasoning, but I thought it was a good idea. So what poems have I committed to memory? Two from Art’s Children’s 20th Century Poetry Anthology. One is about a woodpecker by Ted Hughes. The other is by Ogden Nash and after reciting it to Ben just now he wanted me to blog it. So here it is, straight from my head (mistakes included).

The Centipede

I objurgate the centipede,
a bug we do not really need.

At sleepytime he beats a path
straight to the bedroom or the bath.

You always wallop where he’s not
and if he is, he leaves a spot.
