I'm curious....does BTD get chastized for posting something she (and I) found amusing? I am, of course, referring to being raked over the coals for posting something I found amusing about Biden.

I assume you're referring to the "priceless" joke above. It's a joke, in photoshop form, no less. Hell, if you have a joke to make about Biden, I'd love to hear it, as long as it's funny

I suppose funny is in the eye of the beholder.

A lot of Palin's critics jumped on her supposed support for abstinence-only programs like a starving man on a sandwich to justify their continuing interest in the pregnancy of her 17-year-old daughter. But they seem to have skipped the step of actually looking carefully at Gov. Palin's position - again, this LA Times piece comes from Walker's article at Reason:

In July of [2006], she completed a candidate questionnaire that asked, would she support funding for abstinence-until-marriage programs instead of "explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?"
Palin wrote, "Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support."

But in August of that year, Palin was asked during a KTOO radio debate if "explicit" programs include those that discuss condoms. Palin said no and called discussions of condoms "relatively benign."

"Explicit means explicit," she said. "No, I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I am not anti-contraception. But, yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don't have a problem with that. That doesn't scare me, so it's something I would support also."

When I was in high school, I had to choose between drama or physics, and I chose drama. However, if they had offered "explicit sex" at the same time, I'm sure I would have taken that.

Hell, (snapping suspenders) I would have taught it.

I'm wondering where these sex-ed classes that don't mention abstinence exist. Every single sex-ed thing I've ever been presented start with, "The only 100% guarantee to avoid pregnancy and STDs is abstinence."
