@Gingerlime: Very true.

@brenatdisco: I get that people think "vaccine = good" and it is to a certain point, until viruses mutate, and then you end up with an even tougher virus to eradicate.

#5 is awesome.

@brenatdisco: That's been true of every vaccine, though. And yet, long-term effects have been overwhelmingly positive for nearly all of them. So yeah, you can wait if you want, but the data is very well established that HPV can cause cancer—it's the reason that cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer…

@FelineFraulein: Ah, that makes sense. I didn't think about the fact that you could stay underwater longer if you weren't blowing bubbles. Or maybe blowing bubbles isn't ladylike or whatever.

I'm always a little weirded out by those nose clips on synchronized swimmers. What's the reason for them?

@Charlotte Corday: I know, it's discouraging. I just read it on-line now...so I guess I'm not doing much to pay Krauthammer and Shales' salaries. Although the other guy they've got doing TV—-Hank Stuever—is terrific, and takes a pretty unashamed anti-sexist approach.

@Charlotte Corday: I can't figure out if they're trying to get credit for maintaining some kind of "balance" by publishing all those nutballs. Jesus, we all know the Post is run by a bunch of pinko elitist lefties...just own it already. (And I say that as someone who loves the Post and still reads it every…

@Hortense Smith: Exactly. Bristol hasn't exactly kept her head down recently either.

WHY THE FUCK DOES THE WASHINGTON POST KEEP PUBLISHING TOM SHALES?

@brenatdisco: There are similar adverse effects reported for nearly every vaccine on the market today.

@Seriously, Y'all? (For real now? For real, for real?): Exactly. Kids, don't try this at home!

@AmosTrue: You are so hearted for that.

Kudos to all the people debunking yet another Roiphe essay. Nearly everything she writes drizzles straight from the "Convenient Theories For Me" pipeline.

@Lymed: Bristol Palin. Or not.

That sounds awful! Your mom should have taken care of you, regardless of what might have caused your infections—in fact, she should have paid special attention to those so you'd learn how to avoid them/care for them.

@funchefchick: Exactly. This was all about Danielle, which is why it's so icky and inappropriate.

@chloros: I'm sure she does, although it didn't come out until after this season taped, so we won't see their reactions. There's no way she could not know. Can you imagine? I seriously feel for those girls. I suspect they're going to get as far away from their mother as humanly possible just as soon as they can.

@Eric Northman is mine: Both. If you reaaalllly want to know, do a Google image search. They are pretty badly misshapen and scarred thanks to botched plastic surgery.

@chloros: I may have...cough cough...seen a clip from the sex tape and the dude in it wears a condom. Danielle could have at least been honest and told her daughter "you should use condoms for protection...I do."
