By a close vote, the Senate finance committee (the scamps) has approved busloads of money for abstinence-only programs.
Here’s one take on the effectiveness of abstinence-only programs. And here’s another and another. This is not to say that discussions about abstinence shouldn’t be a part of an overall comprehensive sex eduation curriculum. Such discussions absolutely should be included, but limiting talk to abstinence only is akin to sending kids out to battle without all their weapons. I say this at the mother of two, and the grandmother of five.

I don’t understand the whole concept of abstinence education.
I mean — everyone already knows how to be abstinent, right?
Well, maybe except for politicians.
So we shouldn’t have THEM as guest speakers, eh?
Unless it’s U.S. Sen. Al Franken.
(I love typing that.)
Can you imagine being him and hearing it? “Sen. Franken.”
What, you mean he’s done something besides write books?
Tee-hee.
Filibuster *this* …
Oh, awesome!
