Quote: In tune with the "moral values" crusaders, the Web site for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has obscured and downplayed the important information that condoms are overwhelmingly effective in preventing sexually transmitted diseases. (A nonprofit organization supporting comprehensive sex education, Advocates for Youth, publicized this subterfuge and has been rewarded with three government audits of its finances in eight months.)
All I can add to that is:
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of transmitted disease. This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhea-lectim ..
Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed for the past 4 years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease.
Cognitive sequellae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea-lectim include, but
are not limited to: Anti-social personality disorder traits; delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor; chronic mangling of the English language; extreme cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate new information; pronounced xenophobia; inability to accept responsibility for actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado; uncontrolled facial smirking; ignorance of geography and history; tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and a strong propensity for categorical, all-or nothing behavior.
The disease is sweeping Washington. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant disease originated only a few years ago in a Texas Bush. |

On the news last night there was an item on the Wax Museum display of the Three Wise Men et als. Two of the faces on the wise men were Bush and Blair.
I am beyond words on that one! But enough to puke a buzzard does come to mind. |

Copied from a GNN message board:
How to Prosper During the Coming Financial Apocalypse
by Mrs. Boyle (Joyce) Timbers
It may take some time before the full glory of a Christ-centered government takes effect. In fact, things may get worse before they get better. The damage done to our economy by Bill and Hillary Clinton is both inestimable and insidious – rearing the full strength of its disastrous head only now when our first Christian President begins his second term. I make this warning to True Christians and other co-holders of the godly Templeton Fund portfolios so that they need not be discouraged and that they may not only weather, but come out on top of any impending national financial meltdown.
So before you rent the panic room here are 10 steps to take to make sure you and your family prosper in the coming financial Armageddon.
1. Consolidate your offshore accounts. The niggling fees associated with multiple numbered accounts can cost as much as a month’s worth of French pedicures.
2. From Diana Vreeland: use leftover champagne as a rinse for your blonde child’s hair.
3. Stopping and starting your SUV uses more gas than just driving: use your horn more often.
4. Tipping stinks of socialism. Stop doing it.
5. If your church has a soup kitchen donate soup recipes. Give a man a bowl of soup and he eats for one day, teach him how to make soup and he can eat for a lifetime.
6. Cash in your krugerands and invest in Wackenhut, the country’s premier employer of both prison guards and mercenaries. As the economy melts down the country will need more of both, so invest now. Wackenhut is privately held, but has two subsidiaries Correctional Properties Trust (CVP), and The Geo Group (GGI) that are publicly traded.
7. Invest in Halliburton (HAL) before we spread democracy to Iran, Korea, China, and California. As long as any lawsuits against the company go all the way to Antonin Scalia and the Supreme Court there’s nothing to worry about.
8. Dispossess any children you even THINK might be gay before they’re rounded up. Cut your losses now.
9. Don’t bother tithing to any church that doesn’t compensate you with a Berkshires time share or occasional use of their jet. If Pat Robertson’s Operation Blessing jets can ferry diamonds across the Sierra Leone border they can damn well take your daughter to fashion week in Milan.
10. Turn your hobby into a faith based charity. Play Christian music and English language tapes as your staff works and claim you’re running a Christian welfare to work program. |

Posh and Becks were Mary and Joseph. That puts it all in hilarious perspective.  |

Thanks for the post. I read that article and was just floored at the low-levels that these right wing fucks will do, including endangering general health issues.
This was the one part that stood out for me:
Quote: A recent Columbia University study found that teens who make "virginity pledges" to delay sex until marriage still have premarital sex at a high rate (88 percent) rivaling those that don't, but are less likely to use contraception once they do. It's California, a huge blue state that refuses to accept federal funding for abstinence-only curriculums, that has a 40 percent falloff in teenage pregnancy over the past decade, second only to Alaska.
These nimrods that narrow their minds so much that they miss simply logic, are causing more harm than good. This elimination of rights, health concerns and other things are going to make things worse and worse over time. They will keep blaming the liberals and dead professors for the rise in out-of-wedlock sex, but in the end, if things gets worse, it will be hard to see how their efforts have helped... more so, hurt the overall health and humanity of this country.

| I'm afraid that Canada is going to have to put on a huge condom to protect itself from contracting that pernicious virus Fundamentalism from our friends to the south. |

Go Canada!
Supreme Court in Canada Backs Gay Marriage
By CLIFFORD KRAUSS
Published: December 9, 2004
TORONTO, Dec. 9 - The Supreme Court said today that it condoned efforts by the federal government to introduce legislation redefining marriage nationwide to include same-sex couples, but it stopped short of ruling that the traditional definition of marriage was unconstitutional.
The decision was largely symbolic because the high courts of six provinces and one territory, representing 85 percent of the population, have already ruled that the traditional definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman was discriminatory and unconstitutional. But the 9-to-0 decision will help push legislation in favor of same-sex marriage rights across Canada.

The only Flanagan that comes immediately to mind is an actress who is appearing in It's Karate, Kid! with my daughter at the moment. Is that the one? Is she your current G.F.? Or what? Or am I even in the ballpark? |
