Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

OK, thing on Access Hollywood about Hallie Berrys nursereys in her two homes.

(WHY am I watching this? Eh.)

Anyway, one home is in Malibu and one in the Hollywood Hills. How far apart is that? Not very, right?

Our wings are not tired

Yes, it is true that right now The Mouse is of the suck. Hopefully I can get them to pay my weekly rate for this overage in work which will more than cancel out the money I'd lose from having to drop the show at the beginning of April.

WHY do I watch L&O: SVU?

It is a horrible horrible show.

Can anything ever be wiped out entirely, though, given the international factor, where vaccines aren't the norm?

Smallpox is gone. Measles are almost gone, although unrest in Africa has set that back.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There have been a bunch of cases of measles in the US this year. I remember hearing about a few in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, and in San Diego maybe a month or two ago.

Because books.

Is smallpox really gone everywhere? Just out of curiosity?

I should probably stop accepting medical issues from ER as facts, huh?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm okay with Gardasil too.

Soon as Em can have it (first period, I think), she's getting it.

Smallpox was eradicated about 30 years ago, after an intense global effort.

I suspect, however, that the cost/benefit analysis regarding eradication of chicken pox isn't something that pans out. It's rarely more than a nuisance, the vaccine ain't cheap, and frankly, there are a hell of a lot more pressing concerns that the world's public health dollars should be spent on.
