I've edited the content of my entry to more accurately reflect the true nature of the statement. Brillig, I agree 100%. It's good to see a company like Aflac taking a stand against the kind of comments we've heard from Michael Savage. A lot of Savage's supporters have been very vocal in their defense of Savage's comments, so it's nice to see at least one company doing the right thing.

As a mom of four children-- one of whom is autistic-- I've been following this story closely. Glad to know that at least ONE company has done the right thing. Oooh, way to go Aflac!

"Regretting" something is not apologizing for it. If WOR really were to take a stand, and I'm not advocating this, it would drop the Savage program, or at the least come out and more strongly denounce what he said. As it stands, all WOR did was to say hey, we have nothing to do with this.
