KELO files the hardest hitting news story of the year

From KELO:
Unhealthy Handbags

Most women carry them everywhere they go and they can't live without what's inside. But what about what's on the outside? Could your favorite purse be harboring bacteria?

In tonight's Eye on KELOLAND, Angela Kennecke may make you think twice about where you put your purse.

Women have long carried a love affair with the purse. And that handbag goes everywhere, from the store, to the counter, to the car floor, even the restroom floor.
Read it all here. And take care where you put that dirty purse. Because Angela Kennecke might be watching for this emerging scourge threatening public health.

Can a healthy purse campaign be far behind....?

Scared the coliform right out of me.

Might be something women should actually think about however.

Next will be a story about men's billfolds and you know where we keep those.

I first heard this information last fall so it's not exactly news. It is good information though.

You should know what it's like to dig for stories when nothing much is happening, pp. You can opt for a light posting, but that isn't an option for people who are required to churn out stories by deadline.

Been there. Done that.

I happened to like this story. I had never given a thought to how dirty the bottom of my purse is. I do not ever sit it on the floor of a public bathroom, but it sits on the floor of the car, the movie theater, etc. And then I come home and sit it on my counter. Comparing that to shoes sitting on the counter, which I would NEVER allow, never occurred to me, but it's the same thing.

Anyway, needless to say I'll be wiping off the bottom of my purse occasionally now!

I have certainly seen stories with much less merit than this one.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
