    It's time for Congress to also come clean and root out the rot at the top. Instead, they act like two-year-olds fighting over the ball - that is, the ones who aren't acting like rats leaving a sinking ship. Oddly enough, the murkier things become, the clearer the motives involved. Get them all out, every last one of them. They had their chance and they blew it. Time to 'fess up and take their medicine.

    Perhaps the artist is the creator of the billboard and there is no anonymous person behind it.

    There are also 340,000 hits for "dog poop awareness" but that does not invalidate the claim. Companies are exploiting breast cancer in a way that's cynical and often harmful.

    Just another sad testament to this nation's absurd obsession with breasts. We even have big, bad NFL football players wearing pink shoes and hats! Enough already!!

    It is true that lung cancer has received far less public attention than its less-lethal sister, breast cancer. But a good portion of that fact has more to do with the number of survivors of lung cancer, which are far fewer than breast cancer survivors. The truth is that most people diagnosed with breast cancer will lead full, long lives. Most people diagnosed with lung cancer will, sadly, pass away from their disease. But we are working very hard to change that. The National Lung Cancer Partnership hosts the Free to Breathe lung cancer awareness series, which is raising awareness of the #1 cancer killer in over 30 communities across the nation this year. Those events also raise funds critical for advancing lung cancer research, and changing the currently poor survival statistics. We have much to learn from our friends in breast cancer advocacy, and are doing our best to model their successes as we slowly build our survivor base.
