The Creepiest Headline I've Ever Seen

From Alternet:

Orrin Hatch's $50 Million Sex Boondoggle

Booooghhhh! I can't stop shuddering at the horrible mental image that headline forced into my sweet, unsuspecting brain!

UUUUUGGGGHHHHHH.

Of course the body of the article is a lot less shocking:

Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) won inclusion of an amendment in the Senate Finance Committee bill that would provide $50 million to states to use for abstinence programs, and the funding survived the version of the legislation that emerged from Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.)

Abstinence only? Sure, let's keep throwing good money down that rat-hole!

Why don't these people just grow up and admit that some teens (the lucky ones) are going to um, "do it" before their wedding night? Why is that such a shocking revelation? Just grow up and deal with it and let's work on preventing STD's and unwanted pregnancies.
