‘Comedy Gives Back’ Proves People Can Make a Difference (But Not the Way They Expected)

October 18, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

My NEW PJMedia column about an anti-malaria campaign that isn’t completely idiotic:

[D]on’t doubt it for a moment:

If it hadn’t been for “crazy right wingers” challenging the received liberal wisdom about the “evils” of DDT all these years, there’s no way the WHO and groups like Malaria No More would be as open as they are to using it, and who knows how many lives have been saved.

So hang in there, my fellow “global warming” “denialists” — one day we might very well get the last laugh.
