    If you’re a Blog of Inferior Breathing regular, you know I never post on Sundays but this weekend, I won’t be around in the comments, either. I’m in New Orleans, one my favorite cities ever, and that’s why you see only two links today. I’ll be back Monday morning afternoon, tired and carrying a few extra pounds courtesy of oyster po boys and the Cafe Du Monde, but with plenty of photos to share. Is Singulair Linked to Suicide? The FDA’s examining the possibility based on a few recent suicide reports of Singulair users. So far, there’s no known link, and the review will apparently take nine months or so. There are also no recommendations to stop using Singulair. I’ll keep an eye on this one and post any updates I read because I know lots of you have children who use it. Smoke With Your Kid in the Car and Pay a Fine in South Australia Now that’s a government interested in protecting its children. This should be a law everywhere.
