I read a story during the endless news cycle for the Alien Baby’s birth that Cruise said Katie could make as much noise as she wanted, its just everyone else needs to be quiet. He also said she could have an epidural if she needed it (another Scientology no-no).

The whole thing is just squicky from beginning to end. And I’ve just terrified myself by knowing this much about Alien Cruise.

I need to go read a book now.

I fail to understand blind faith in just about anything. But the Scientologist’s beliefs are extreme even for the religious realm. But then again, no one died and left me God. So who am I to scoff?

The fact the child was exposed to what may or may not have been excessive ultra-sound exams is a puzzle. I see that Assemblyman Ted Lieu is upset over it. But the story is lacking in fact checking with medical professionals as to whether or not this is a genuine problem.

Just because Assemblyman Ted Lieu sees “no medical reason for an untrained person to use this machine” doesn’t mean it’s a problem. It would be interesting to hear from some professionals that know the machine and it’s effects.

As the story is written it smells more like class envy then anything else.
