How do you secretly file for divorce? Unfortunately, I do believe that such documents have to be public, no matter who is filing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bush made the NSA secrify the documents for national security reasons. (If the president does it it's not illegal.) Al Qaeda's plan was to break up Bush's marriage by driving W back to the drinking, and letting them know they succeeded would provide comfort to our enemies.

Or not.

eta: The rumors I've heard was that she's filing as soon as he's out of office.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There's still an issue of spreading the virus, though. Herd immunity has a lot more to do with mandatory vaccination than simply keeping individuals from getting sick.

Yes! And we don't know what cancers it may cause in men. Dan Savage mentioned this week something about there now being indications that HPV is linked to throat (I think) cancer too...

Zap 'em all, man.

Yes indeed. Oral sex can cause cancer. Really, I read that in the real press, not in the grocery store line.

Always Anti-fascist!

Munch grew up in Pikesville, MD. Where he was madly in love with Helen Rosenthal and wondered if anyone he went to high school with left the old nabe. Anything else is a total retcon/ conflation of Belzer's life and Munchkin's life. "Kaddish" was so *brilliant*

Art Crawl!!!

Preakness coverage all day. They just showed a little piece on Calvin Borel that made me tear up. (Darn it all.)

He's not a Marylander -- he's from Louisiana and yesterday he rode at Pimlico for the first time.

And next they're really going to make me cry because they're leading up to the first running of the Barbaro Stakes and guess what they're going to feature?

Yes, but you can't catch it sitting next to a friend in school, or doing your grocery shopping, or in a meeting at work. I don't like the government having so much say-so in private citizens lives. I think the smart people will get the vaccine. I do not think it should be mandatory any more than I think we should all have to be tested for HIV. I don't want the government giving me medicine any more than I want it taking charge of my womb.

Preakness. That's right. Must avoid Northern Parkway. Hell, must avoid everything south of me. I'm surprised I haven't seen the blimp. Pimlico is 2 miles from me. rearranges plans.

I have mixed feelings on the HPV vaccine. If I had a daughter she would absolutely get the vaccine. But I'm not comfortable with the govenment and pharmaceutical companies making it mandatory. It makes sense as a prevention to disease, but so does banning cigarettes, or preventive mastectomy.

The huge profit potention with this particular vaccine makes me skeptical of the real motives behind the push.

That said, I think every young woman should get the vaccine, because cervical cancer, bad.
