Just a reminder that if you want someone else to get in on the DHHS
story or pick it up at all, YOU need to send that e-mail or that letter
or make that phone call.

We don't have a TV so I don't know who the guy on Fox is. (I DO know who
the Simpsons are though!) I love the comics so I sent the link for The
HILL piece and the link for the Hathor the Cow-Goddess cartoon to my
favorite political cartoonist. My husband was amazed -- he was reading
e-mails and here's a note from the cartoonist which says, "Ah yes - from
the same people who brought us selling formula to people in Africa who
don't have clean water." I don't know if he'll follow up with a cartoon
-- but I'm trying to do my little part.

And if you see ANY article in your paper with the word breastfeeding in
it (or I suppose breast-feeding...) follow up with a letter to the
editor, with as many initials or credentials as you can place there, if
you feel an "expert" opinion is called for. Newspapers like experts and
a pithy, short letter is likely to get printed. And if there's one thing
we are here it's pithy!

Growling in southern Vermont,

Happy holidays to all my kindred spirits here!
