Nukepills.com has donated 50,000 potassium iodide pills to Japan. In a news release issued today, the North Carolina company announced it has sent the pills to Tokoyo's Tokushukai Hospital.
"We are very pleased that these tablets will be given to people directly affected by the nuclear crisis," stated Troy Jones, president of Nukepills.com. Their website says they are currently out of stock of tablets and liquid potassium iodide. The company is an internet-based supplier of radiation emergency preparedness products.
Wingcom Watchdow contacted family in Santa Monica, Calif. to see if they were in danger of radiation poisoning. "No, we are no where near the radiation poisoning now," said Ingrid Johnson in an email. "If we were in Alaska or Hawaii maybe, but not Cali."
It was reported in a Fox News interview with Karl Rove, former senior advisor to George W. Bush, that GE was the builder 40 years ago of the nuclear power plants now rumored to be undergoing meltdowns in Japan.

"Japan will be an architect's heaven...People have the energy, courage, wisdom, superpower and resilience to move forward...We have a big challenge...we will have big, beautiful results," said singer Yoko Ono last night in a CNN interview.
