I save my drinking for Antonin "Vaffanculo!" Scalia and Dick "Go fuck yourself" Cheney.

Scalia's a low grade whore. I don't like any judicial ideologues, left or right. Those pricks are supposed to parse the law, not bend over for their constituency. I am pragmatic, and realize no judge is above being an ideologue some of the time, but people like Scalia and Ruth Bader seem to think being whores is fine and dandy. I say fuck them both with cattle prods.... Maybe that's a bit rough... maybe not.

I'd drink with Dick because Dick is no whore. A lying, chickenshit draft dodging, drunk driving elitist prick, yes. But we are talking drinking, and we are talking me, and his resume pretty much ensures a damned fun evening, even if I don't buy his politics. Decent people - decent hicks like Dick and I - could put politics aside when discussing that joy of being alive, stupid and lucky that you only understand on the highway, on a head full of malt liquor, driving a 1983 Suburban with all the windows open and "You Don't Love/Soul Serenade" pounding out of the stereo.

I would not shoot anything with Dick...

When I first started out as a lawyer, I had a client that had been bled dry by those fuckers. I've wondered for years how they keep out of jail. I guess it's the same old story. If you're poor, you have no voice.

The "settlement structuring" companies who lend against future lawsuit recoveries make these guys look like angels.

Which brings me back to my original point. I hate everyone everywhere.

There's a series of articles in today's Washington Post on teen sex, comparing the US to Europe.

I think the reasonable conclusion that one can draw is that people who are fundamentally opposed to sex shouldn't be involved in telling others how to do it.

One of the articles had some statistics that made me cringe.

U.S. and Western European teens start sexual activity at about the same age--the median age for first intercourse is 16 in Sweden, 17 in Switzerland, Germany and the United States, and 18 in France.

Chief of the Multidisciplinary Unit for Adolescent Health at the University of Lausanne Hospital in Switzerland, Pierre-Andre Michaud says Swiss teens differ from their U.S. counterparts principally in that they are more likely to use contraceptives.

Almost half (47 percent) of all U.S. high school students report having had sexual intercourse, according to a 2003 survey conducted for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; for high school seniors, the figure is 62 percent. In Sweden approximately 80 percent of teens have had sex by age 20, according to Tanja Tydén, professor in the Department of Public Health and Caring Services at Uppsala University in Sweden.

U.S. teens are more likely to have sexual intercourse before age 15 and to become pregnant than teens in England and Wales, France and Sweden, according to a 2000 report from the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group that studies sexual health. The study also found that Western European teens are likelier to be in a committed relationship when they have sex.

U.S. teens also have a higher rate of infection and STDs -- due to lower condom use, according to the report.

The U.S. teen pregnancy rate (84 out of every 1,000 girls age 15 to 19 become pregnant each year) is higher than that that of Denmark (23), Finland (21), Germany (16) and Sweden (25), found a 2000 report in Family Planning Perspectives. (Differences in birth rates are also striking: Roughly six out of every 1,000 teen girls have babies every year in Switzerland, eight per 1,000 in Sweden, 10 per 1,000 in France, and 28 per 1,000 in England and Wales, according to the report, compared to about 54 per 1,000 in the United States. The U.S. abortion rate (then 29 per 1,000) was higher than that in Sweden (17), France (10), Finland (10) and the Netherlands (4), found the report.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a third of all U.S. girls become pregnant before they turn 20; 80 percent of them are unmarried.

In the U.S., rates of teen sex, pregnancy, abortion and birth have all declined since 1991, as a result, most experts agree, of a combination of teens' postponing sex and increased contraception. But the rates are still higher than those in virtually all Western European countries.

Also, Virginity pledges are moronic.

What's amazing to me that a group that believes that preaching abstinence is the best approach can continue to make its assertions in the face of extensive evidence that the message does not work, and, in fact, may be counterproductive.

Then again, we figured we could eliminate alcoholism by making it illegal, so what does 80 years of learning do for us?

Thats amazing to you? They believe the Bible is literal truth. That ain't like believing in the Loch Ness Monster or thinking Jim Morrison is having burgers with Jimmy Hoffa in Antigua. Thats some seriously fucked up shit. Read that thing sometime. You buy that thing as WORD and you is one f-ed up motherfucker. I'm surprised those screwheads can even figure out how to reproduce. Guess that show's Mother Nature is a tolerant creator - she makes it easy enough that even those who hate her can manage to reprdocuce.

I wonder how much guilt a King Screwhead like James Dobson feels after he mastrubates in his hotel bathroom in a moment of weakness.

You think he calls Gary Bauer and confesses?

"Garaay, I juuuzz broke down. I split muh seed upon the hand towels in the Four Seasons. It was the decadence of the brass fixtures that got me. I am a sodomite."
