THE TIMES HYPES DANGEROUS RIGHT-WING VIRGINITY STUDY
Today's Times front-pages a report on new studies by the oh-so-conservative Heritage Foundation claiming "young people who took virginity pledges had lower rates of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases and engaged in fewer risky sexual behaviors." This is nonsense -- in an article last year for the L.A. Weekly on the Bush administration's war on the condom, I cited "a Minnesota Department of Health study of the state’s five-year, abstinence-only program, which found last year that sexual activity by students taking the program actually doubled, from 5.8 percent to 12.4 percent."

THIS PLEDGE TO NOT HAVE SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE IS A SHAM. THE KIDS ARE HAVING ORAL SEX. REMEMBER THEY SAY THAT ORAL SEX IS NOT HAVING SEX. SO THAT IS WHAT THESE PLEDGERS ARE DOING.

I used to keep getting the names confused: NY Times vs. Post, Washington Post vs. Times. Now it's a bit easier: "Times" equals "Crap".
