Flu jabs for children and the sick
Flu jabs for Wall Street workers:
(from Democracy Now)
And calls are growing for an investigation into why health officials have handed out swine flu vaccines to some of Wall Street’s leading financial firms while they’re unavailable to most Americans. More than a dozen companies were given the vaccines, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. The Center for Disease Control says the companies met several criteria, including having a large number of employees and their own medical staff. But critics say the CDC has violated its own calls to distribute the vaccine only to those at highest risk. In a statement, Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said, “Although CREW has been unable to uncover the demographic makeup of [these companies], it seems safe to assume the vast majority of their employees are not pregnant women, infants and children, young adults up to 24 years old, and healthcare workers.”
Interesting, no?
I’d make a wisecrack about turning
North Omaha into Gaza, but I don’t want to give them any ideas.
Further WTF? The feds are paying to send them.
Working in Harvard Square was one of the worst experiences in my entire life, but seeing Brother Blue always lifted the mood of the place. He could do that, just walking through a door.
Brother Blue was a wonderful story teller, and a wonderful human being. Cambridge will never be the same.
Claude Levi-Strauss dead at 100.
Updated: well, no, not "updated" in that sense-he’s still quite dead. I meant my post-here’s a better obituary from the Guardian.
I know, I know, you were expecting some sort of structuralism joke, but I’m just not on it today. Feel free to have at it in the comments if you’ve a good one.
I am now the proud owner of 32 episodes of My Favorite Martian on 8 videos for which I paid the absurd sum of seven bucks. It was still sealed in the original box. I also bought some used VHS tapes of Lost in Space. I would have stopped there, but I just found out that you can buy the boxed set of Shindig. Come on, I have to own Shindig. You know you want it too.
In other news, I achieved the Holy Grail of home baking-my own Twix bars. When I made the Jaffa Cakes, I thought I’d managed the impossible, but the candy I made yesterday surpasses pretty much anything I have ever, or could ever hope to create. I should just hang up the apron now-game over. It will never get better than THIS.
Hell yes people, that’s why I’m the mama.
