2. When I see a story that starts like this — “Dallas County will hold its first walk-up swine-flu vaccination clinic Wednesday, a carefully staged event that could go perilously wrong if too many people show up demanding shots” — the first thing that jumps into my mind is NOT “well planned.”
3. “Dallas Hosts National Prostitution Conference.” The story is a bit more nuanced than that, but I’ll stick with Fox 4’s headline.
