First, I need to correct an error. In an earlier post I said McCain veep candidate Sara Palin was a Mormon. In fact I think I said she was a lactating Mormon. Well, she is not. She is Assembly of God, women famous for wearing denim dresses. You can't blame me for believing she is a Latter Day Saint with having 5 kids.
Anyway, I also learned that she believes in teaching abstinence only. Every study done has shown that these programs are much less effective than giving kids all of the options when it comes to sex ed. She only has to look as far as her oldest daughter to see this is a poor idea. If she cannot teach it in her own home then how can you expect it to work in every school in America?
Oldy McCain also said that he was well aware that her 17-year old daughter had a hockey puck in her goal when he picked her. In fact, he said he knew a week before the announcement. This turned out to be a surprise to Palin's own press secretary who found out like the rest of us did - by hearing on network news.
