Pink is for little girls, IMO. Women deserve a stronger, more supportive and more dignified approach to this serious health issue.

Every year when the stores get flooded with pink Komen-associated kitsch, I get a bit nauseus--particularly knowing how little (% wise) of their funding ever made it to breast cancer research

And now the Komen people can say that they've been on the teevee to answer all the critics, and anybody who's still upset is just a malcontent ingrate. Watch for it . . .
