okay, so apparently Sarah Palin was interviewed by People, and was asked
Has [Bristol's pregnancy] changed how you talk about sex with your other children?
Her response?
SP: I've always been a proponent of making sure kids understand – even in schools – they'd better take preventative measures so that they don't find themselves in these less than ideal circumstances. Perhaps Bristol could be a good example to other young women that life happens and preventative measures are, first and foremost, the option that should be considered –
"preventative measures"? WTF? I don't think that abstinence is a preventative measure. Sounds a hell of a lot like she's advocating birth control, or is it just me?
I'm with you. Sure sounds like birth control to me, not abstinence.
unless she thinks keeping your legs crossed is a preventative measure.
Or keeping your clothes on.
I like doin' it with my clothes on.
actually I think I've done it with my legs crossed too. But then, I'm on the pill.
The part of the Pledge that I have a problem with (besides the fact that it's a, you know, PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE, Heil Amerika) is the "with liberty and justice for ALL" part. Because it's been my experience that not everyone is lucky enough to receive the same level of liberty and/or justice.
Oh, see, I read it not as pledging allegiance to the republic which has liberty and justice for all, but rather as pledging allegiance to the republic and to its ideal of liberty and justice for all. Which I can totally get behind. I've got allegiance to that ideal.
I went to some event with my Mom where we recited the pledge. I was pleasantly surprised to find Mom skipped the "under god" part too.
When I was little I thought "Witchit Stands" was a place, like "Witchita Falls."

During one of the responses at Catholic mass as a kid, I thought everyone was saying "you take away the scissors of the world" and wondered why that was something praise-worthy.
My grandmother used to sing, quite clearly, "Rock of ages, left of me"
