3 million teens

a side mention about Bush's Delusional State of the Union speech last night. did you notice that immediately after noting that 3 million teens have STDs, he goes on to state that he will increase funding for abstinence programs. because 'abstinence is the only way to completely guarantee you won't catch a sexually transmitted disease.'

and you're going to convince *3 million* teenagers *every year* that this is a good option? would that logic have worked on *either* of the Bush twins? do you think Skull'n'Bones Yale Frat Boy Bush (copyright 1967 MattelCo) practiced abstinence?

as someone pointed out once, when you're a teen, sex is just about the only fun thing you can do that's free. (note to come about another friends' comment on running).

at Borders, Perrin & Norrander, we did a pitch for a teen-sex hotline (that advocated abstinence *among* its advice and options for sexually active teens). i suggested they advocate oral sex (main benefit: no pregnancies, if done correctly), with the tagline, 'Lick it, don't stick it.' woulda gone gangbusters, and given the people of Oregon a chance to bring Oral Sex kicking, cooing and orgasmically screaming into the light, where we, as a state, could all be at least a little happier.

goddamn, it's good that I get to start working again tomorrow.

back to the vcr and episode 8-10 of season 4 of the Sopranos. still waiting for Ralphie to get whacked.
