You Can’t Tell Me I’m The Only Person Who Saw This Coming?

A report was released yesterday indicating that the United States has recently reversed a 14 year trend of declining teen pregnancies. Gee, you don’t suppose that has to do with the Bush administrations implementation of abstinence-only sex-education now, do you? (or should I say, LACK of sex-education)?

Yeah, yeah, Bush has been president for 7 years so why didn’t this happen sooner? Well, from what I recall, it took a few years for the program to be put into place. Then if you consider sex education is begun around the 6th grade, then 6th graders 4 years ago are now juniors in high school.

I suspected this would happen years ago and now my prediction has become a reality. And, to be honest, it saddens me. This means more abortions, more children up for adoption, more ill-equipt teen mothers, and most-likely more people needing social services. Brilliant plan, Bush!

    Do NOT start me on that man! I used to think he was just plain stupid. In the wake of the revelation concerning Iran’s non-existent nuclear bomb program and his pig-headed refusal to change his bellicose stand, I realize that he’s malignantly perverse and more dangerous than ever.

    Sorry, Karl, but I needed that!
