Texas HPV
For those of you following the Texas HPV vaccine debate:
The Texas Senate voted to overturn Gov. Rick Perry's executive order Monday to mandate a vaccine for the Human papillomavirus for school-aged girls.
The bill will head to the Perry's desk, and he is expected to veto it.
The House also voted to overturn the order more than a month ago.

On the media's coverage of terrorist attacks...
From Iraq The Model:
Where are the media when terrorists use chlorine poisonous gas, acids, and ball bearings to kill and hurt more and more civilians in utter disregard to all written and unwritten laws, ethics and values?
I understand it's the duty of the media to practice scrutiny over the work of governments but isn't it equally their duty to expose criminals and their evil deeds?
It's frustrating to see the media turn a blind eye to the nature of the crimes and open fire on an honest endeavor to restore peace to a bleeding nation. I'm sure the terrorists are pleased by the coverage. Why not, when their crimes are being portrayed as successful breakthroughs against the efforts of Iraq and America it's likely motivating them to keep up the killing.
