It's reassuring to know that even though the second most powerful member of the Texas house of representatives seems to believe that the earth doesn't revolve around the sun, they're not all nuts in the Lone Star State:
Gov. Rick Perry defended his executive order requiring sixth-grade girls be vaccinated against the virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer, saying that he believes with "all my heart" that he was right.
"I do not understand why we as a people would not take this opportunity to use this vaccine ... to the benefit of our children," Perry said Tuesday.
Me neither. Bravo to Perry for not falling in with the crowd that values girls' hymens more than their lives.
