Macallan has a crush on me. He follows me around like a little puppy dog. I think it's so cute!

I think Vioxx was GREAT - I would have had to give up a lot of activities were it not for Vioxx. Celebrex was not as good at all.
I'm getting the vaccine.

Why, because I took drugs for pain management that allowed me to be a college athlete? Yeah, okay.

Awww.. thanks!
See.. it's like the little boy who dips the girl's braids into the inkwell. They do it for attention. I knew you had a crush on me! It's just too cute for words!

I don't know yet.... we're still getting to know each other and in the dating stage. But I'll be sure to show you the "rock"-- since he comes from such a wealthy family... as he's told us so many times.

TRENTON, N.J. -- Pediatricians, gynecologists and even health insurers all call Gardasil, the first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, a big medical advance.
But medical groups, politicians and parents began rebelling after disclosure of a behind-the-scenes lobbying campaign by Gardasil's maker, Merck & Co., to get state legislatures to require 11- and 12-year-old girls to get the three-dose vaccine as a requirement for school attendance.

Perhaps it's the "Gen Y" in me, but I see absolutely no problem with lobbying for your product - how is this different from lobbying against taxes on your product (see: alcohol, tobacco, gasoline), or lobbying for increased regulation that benefits one product over another (cell phones, cable TV, etc)?
I say this realizing that your visceral response is, at least in part, due to your desire to reduce government involvement in your decision-making process - which I understand, but until lobbying efforts are outlawed or correctly regulated, I can't fault someone for playing by the rules.
Especially when I fully support the theory behind the vaccination in question.
