What’s that Abstain on Your Shorts?
Just something amusing I ran across online:
Abstinence pledges make you horny. A new eight-year study just released reveals that American teenagers who take “virginity” pledges of the sort so favored by the Bush administration wind up with just as many STDs as the other kids.
But that’s not all — taking the pledges also makes a teenage girl six times more likely to perform oral sex, and a boy four times more likely to get anal. Which leads me to an important question: where were these pledges when I was in high school?

You won’t often find me trolling the news sites for items to post here. Enough other blogs do that. However, commentary from Bill Maher (or George Carlin) could become a major policy exception.

Congrats on the blog. I love Bill Maher too. He’s such a brilliant guy, both with his comedy and politics.
I also posted this on my ‘blog’.

Your categories are the wittiest thing I’ve seen in the last 45 minutes. I mean that as a compliment.
