Bristol Palin - Sarah Palin's 19-year-old-daughter and unwed mother of 4-month-old Tripp - has been blog-blistered this week for her debut as an Abstinence Ambassador for the Candies Foundation.

"Regardless of what I did personally," she told Chris Cuomo on Good Morning America, "abstinence is the only ... 100% foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy." (Read...

Reo quickly found links to official public health sites and old-fashioned good advice from moms and dads of CHD children who had dealt with flu outbreaks in the past...
Perez's baby will be luckier, however, than another Mexico City-born infant, 21-month-old Miguel Tejada Vasquez. The boy died this week of swine flu, most likely contracted in Mexico, while on a visit to Texas with his family. Miguel was the grandson of one of Mexico's most prominent citizens, publishing baron Mario Vasquez Rana - proof, anyway, that in a country with one of the world's widest gaps between rich and poor, this plague made no class distinctions.
