Following a slew of articles detailing the latest nonsense about the Bishop in the Scranton, Pa., diocese, it was great to see the main article in this week's University of Scranton "Royal News" :

Joan Kuzmack Kiel strongly urged for the distribution of the HPV vaccination to women in the Asia Pacific countries during her speech at the PNC Breakfast on Tuesday morning., Feb. 24, in The Rose Room of Brennan Hall.

A University of Scranton alumns (sic), Kiel has travelled to 13 of the 14 Asia Pacific countries, and plans to travel to Vietnam in the near future. She has travelled to these countries to try to sell and distribute the vaccine to women in need.

The article details Kiel's talk to the audience of the civic and business community in Scranton, and how important administerting the HPV vaccine can be. As someone who finished her Gardasil series, I heartily agree.

When I pulled up this article, I was reminded of how some conservative talking heads had come forward saying the HPV vaccine could turn girls into whores, because you know, it encourages them even more to have "premarital" sex because it makes them safe!

Quoth Bill Maher : "It's like saying if you give a kid a tetanus shot she'll want to jab rusty nails in her feet."
