Note also that not only is abstinence-only education a failure at teaching kids about reality, it’s also apparently a failure at TEACHING KIDS TO BE ABSTINENT. Texas study finds little impact on sexual behavior (the actual main headline is a little misleading: it claims that it increased, and it did, but just at the same rate as everywhere else) [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6894568/](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6894568/) ---

Will we EVER stop hearing about Bill’s BJ? God, it should be automatic banning. The sky is blue–but Clinton got a blowjob! **Carol stream** -you do realize that FP is resource, not a mandatory signing up and showing up type of thing? You are free to ignore FP at your pleasure and your many, many offspring. ---

I was watching Comic Relief the other night ('cuz I’m a dirty hippie) and Bill Maher did a thing on this so-called doctor. It seems he and his wife are getting a divorce and she cited anal rape with she slept as one of the reasons. The good doctor did not deny this. Instead he said he “missed”. Two things, says Maher (if I may paraphrase): First-- so that means it’s OK to vaginally rape your wife while she sleeps and second-- He’s a gynocologist who can’t even find his _wife’s_ vagina?!
