About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Bachmann and Gardasil

Michele Bachmann is continuing her crusade against Rick Perry's HPV vaccine decision. This morning, her campaign released a video in which she equates Perry's HPV vaccine policy to "Obamacare" -- even labeling it "Perrycare."

In the video, titled, "Fighting Crony Capitalism and the Abuse of Executive Power," Bachmann says she opposes "any governor or president who mandates a family’s health care choices and in turn violates the rights of parents on these issues."

TPM points out the low-budget video quality, and notes that Bachmann does not mention her claim that Gardasil causes mental retardation.

Take a look:
