But the report does bring to light some objective scientific facts that may be incorrect. I doubt the amount of time and money invested in the report was worth it to correct these few true factual flaws but, hey, tax money is free money.

Right - because little things like, I dunno, HIV being spread through sweat and pregnancy being caused by touching someone's genitals and half the gay teens in the country being HIV positive are such minor, minor issues. I mean, jeez, why bother with the details? It's the big picture we should be concerned with here, isn't it?

I am agape - my mouth is literally hanging open in abject shock - as I type this. I cannot believe the idea of there being wildly inaccurate information about sex, pregnancy and the spread of STDs - things which are NOT "values," they are hard, scientific facts produced through decades of study - would be disregarded as such a piffle, so minor, so unworthy of attention. I'm so terribly sorry there's a congressman who wants to spend some of your tax dollars to keep you or your kid or your neighbor's kid from {knocking someone up,getting knocked up,getting an STD,giving someone an STD}. Heavens! Such wastefulness! Such impropriety!

Can someone pass the pork? I need another appropriation for the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Who can think of health issues, man, when they's 'BAMA football at stake!?

Shrill? You betcha. Welcome to the new theocracy. It's like _1984_ got religion. If anybody needs me, I'll just be in the bathroom being sick.
