    Please don't ever do that to me again: I thought this was leading into a story about the Obamas being anti-vax.

    (I think that heading should read "Girls who don't need to be vaccinated for swine flu not vaccinated for swine flu") #breastcancer

    I think once the swine flu becomes widely available to everyone, not just at-risk groups, the Obama family should all sit down and get the shot, and invite the press to film it. Perhaps that might discourage the idiots listening to people like Glen Beck and Bill Maher, and might convince them that there's something to this swine shot dealio.

    Or we could just let natural selection do its work, thereby saving more vaccine for the rest of us. #breastcancer

    How is whether or not the Obama girls have been vaccinated anybody's business? The fact that their father is the President of the United States gives nobody the right to invade their medical privacy. Maybe their too young yet, but I would be pissed if anybody felt it was their right to know my private medical info if I was them, no matter how public my parents are. #breastcancer

    I'm confused by the article on Elizabeth Edwards. Did she repeat his quote and say she no longer believes it, or is the writer assuming he was just taking her for a ride? Because in honestly, we will never know enough about their relationship to judge. Perhaps he does really love her and perhaps she does really love him and perhaps they will get divorced and be happier, or perhaps they will get divorced and be sadder, or perhaps they won't get divorced. But there are actually relationships that survive horrendous deception. #breastcancer

    @Superrrdupa: I hate GGW and Joe Francis too. Kind of a lot. And if these women were coerced (although I'm not really sure what you mean by that if it goes beyond "too drunk to know better") they can use that as a defense. But I have no problem with them being arrested.

    Consent doesn't really play into this if all they did was flash their boobs. Consent would come into play if there was a sex act. Or consent could come in later if they drunkenly signed a release and then wanted to prevent their footage from being in a video. But you can commit an illegal act while drunk, and that's all that matters here as far as I can tell from that article. #breastcancer

    @sybann:
    These two studies are different. The first examined whether men or women regardless of the study subjects' profession speak more often during the day. This more recent one specifically looked at whether female teachers speak more than male teachers. It's is conceivable that male teachers could be an exception to the general trend. If the study had found that male teachers speak more than female teachers it would not negate the previous study. It could be possible that the type of men that tend to be teachers speak more than their female counterparts. Or conversely, that as teachers men tend to speak more than female teachers. Here, this result was not found, but it is entirely possible that another group might find this result or find this result in an entirely different profession. It's very common in science for a group to peform a study to ask a general question (Do women or men speak more during the day?) and then for a series of studies that follow asking a more specific question (Do male or female teachers speak more often?). #breastcancer
