Oh Noes! Robert Welch is the real-life origin of the Strangelove rantings about fluoridated water! bwahahaha! I never knew that before.

And it’s William Buckley cracking wise about it, of all people. Link for those who care - relevant paragraph is near the bottom.

“Put away in Alaska?” I [ed: Buckley] asked, mock-seriously. The wisecrack traced to Robert Welch’s expressed conviction, a year or so earlier, that the state of Alaska was being prepared to house anyone who doubted his doctrine that fluoridated water was a Communist-backed plot to weaken the minds of the American public.

How the hell am i going to resist quoting from the movie every time the JBS comes up now?
