changinganswers, lurkingowl, pixiecrack and I got together on Friday to watch movies. The ladies present voted for Disney's "The Princess and the Frog," having heard good things about it during the Oscars and in general. The gentlemen present voted for something else (I think it was the first episode of the HBO WWII miniseries "The Pacific," but I may be remembering incorrectly).

   Yet more of the right wing shooting itself in the foot:
Protesters hurl slurs and spit at Democrats.
   Remember how the hippie assholes of the 60's are held up as objects of ridicule (and rightly so) for spitting on soldiers and calling them "baby killers" during the Vietnam War? Yeah. That.

   This is going to be a potentially controversial and polarizing post. Most of it will be behind a cut. It will be poorly organized, because I'm at work and have real work to be doing, but it's weighing heavily on my mind, and I want to say something.

   So I just read Should I vaccinate my baby? on CNN. As you might expect from the title, it's not exactly a fair and balanced look at the subject, but, in my opinion, a horribly irresponsible piece of sensationalistic scare journalism. ( More in why I think so behind a cut. )

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Just wanted to say something, in response to a kerfuffle in caramida's recent post.
