RE: Insurance Rounds for the Good RevWright

Whereas RevWright was touting Senator Obama’s ‘desire’ vis-a-vis pregnant teenager girls and to do something more for them. I suspect it would be just ‘more of the same’; money down a bottomless pit to teach them more about having sex too soon, with the wrong person, for the wrong reasons with life-shattering after affects.

Here’s an article at Townhall which addresses the disaster we’ve experienced from ’sex education’ over the last 30 years….

….Read it and weep….

The whole deal about blogging is that it works under the radar. This sounds like the kvetching of elite media types. Most bloggers aren't in St. Paul, at least, few of the long tail bloggers are. Once they start kissing your rings and treating you like you seem to want, how do we know we can trust you not to see yourselves as the new elites? Just take a lesson from Katie Couric and get the name of Palin's state right. Get over yourselves. The whole deal about blogging is that it works under the radar.
