I'm off to Drink Liberally in West Philly amid the hurricane, but in the meantime, yahoo! news or someone has a link to the vaccine/autism post and I am getting the invasion of the anti-intellectual troll brigade. Can't wait to get back drunk and read all that crap.
susie madrak posted about the same phenomenon a few weeks ago. when you link to a yahoo news article in a post, sometimes yahoo links back, bringing a lot of crazies in tow
i guess that's why they call it yahoo news.

CNN does that as well. When I've seen it happen on livejournal, the post ends up getting flooded with anonymous comments.

Good reason not to link to Yahoo.
