But I thought they were all about family values?

July 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

Zipper trouble for the GOP class of ‘94, “Contract With America”-types who rode into office on a wave of OUTRAGE:
In the 14 years since that star-crossed class arrived in Washington espousing an agenda that placed family values at its core, no less than a dozen of its members have been caught up in affairs, sex […]

It’s not the abortions, it’s the sex

June 30th, 2009 · No Comments

This one’s making the rounds this morning, as reported by U.S. News and World Report:
As the White House readies its plan for finding “common ground” on reproductive health issues and reducing the need for abortion, a major debate has emerged over how to package the plan’s two major components: preventing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the […]

Not just another anomaly

May 28th, 2009 · No Comments

Totally missed this until I saw it mentioned in the Era’s article today - apparently the Philly Inquirer ran a piece last weekend on the rash of “Inappropriate student-teacher relationships in Lititz“:
In a town founded as a Moravian religious enclave more than 250 years ago, residents insist the cluster of teacher-student sex scandals is an anomaly […]

What in the world is going on up in Lititz?
A former candidate for Lititz mayor was arrested today for allegedly having a relationship with a 12-year-old girl.
Gregory J. Nies, 52, of 148 S. Spruce St., Lititz, was charged by borough police with aggravated indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, indecent assault and corruption of […]

Those dirty teens

March 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Two 13-year-old girls near Scranton have their cell phone pic snapped in their skivvies. Pic somehow winds up on someone else’s cell phone. As does another pic of a 17-year-old girl without a shirt on.
District Attorney decides that girls are hardened criminals and must “participate in a five-week after-school program followed by probation” and undergo […]

Bad Bristol!

February 25th, 2009 · No Comments

So the National Abstinence Education Association is all cheesed off about Bristol Palin saying that the abstinence approach is “not realistic”:
During Sarah Palin’s recent vice-presidential bid, her unmarried teen daughter Bristol’s pregnancy became a hot campaign topic. As a follow-up report on this compelling human interest story, Fox News Commentator Greta van Susteren, asked Bristol Palin […]

No sex, just juggling

February 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

This would be Derek the Abstinence Clown. And no, I’m not kidding.

Now, in one respect, I have absolutely no problem with Derek’s message whatsoever.
On the other hand, the abstinence-only outfit that employs Derek got an $800,000 federal grant in 2007.
So this would be your tax dollars at work.
A legitimate expenditure? Your call.

The opposite of pragmatism

January 27th, 2009 · No Comments

You know, I’m not sure I want to dignify this particular bit of wingnuttery by even referencing it, yet it is one of those issues that defines the current thinking of movement “conservatism,” and why I seriously question how any thinking person can subscribe to what it’s become.
The short of this is that the Obama […]

But pregnancy doesn’t:
The Centers for Disease Control released a new report today that found that Mississippi “now has the nation’s highest teen pregnancy rate, displacing Texas and New Mexico for that lamentable title.” The report found that in 2006, the Mississippi teen pregnancy rate was over 60 percent higher than the national average and increased […]

Red sex vs. blue sex

October 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Hm. Fascinating New Yorker piece on sexual attitudes among the young - and how they differ in red states and blue states. In a nutshell:
Social liberals in the country’s “blue states” tend to support sex education and are not particularly troubled by the idea that many teen-agers have sex before marriage, but would regard a […]

With nowhere else to go

July 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Apropos to the discussion of former state Rep. Tom Armstrong’s halfway house for sex offenders, and the hullaballoo which followed it from Conestoga to Marietta.
Florida, like Pennsylvania, has laws about where sex offenders can live. Local communities passed their own laws:
Florida, like many states, barred offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, playgrounds, […]

All your sex belongs to them

May 8th, 2008 · No Comments

And so here we have the American Life League, gearing up for a big protest (they hope) on June 7 titled, “The PILL KILLS,” the idea being that birth-control pills don’t merely prevent unwanted pregnancies but actually can act as abortifacents. And therefore, on that basis, it should be banned.
But, as usual for such folks, […]

Sex, from the party of ideas

We do know the GOP likes to claim it’s the “party of ideas.” Too bad they wage war on actual thought.

OMG sex on teh internets!!!

January 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Era will sell a few newspapers today with this story, front and center. And it’s a good story, about how “dozens” of area women are advertising “erotic services” on Craigslist, which even we here in Lancaster County can now use.
A good story and an amusing one, because Jack Brubaker had to call a few of […]
