news flash: birth control makes a difference in teen pregnancy rates
whodathunk?
AND it does way more to reduce teen pregnancy than abstinence. can ya believe it?!
it's all over the news, but you can access the article by john santelli here (or at least the abstract)
santelli, in a guttmacher institute report says, "If most of the progress in reducing teen pregnancy rates is due to improved contraceptive use, national policy needs to catch up with those realities."
i couldn't agree more.

conservative pundits make me SICK
especially when these old white stodgy males think they have anything to say about/to/for women.
UGH.
DESPICABLE!
case #1:
rush limbaugh
he actually talks about how he learned more about women from his cat:
LIMBAUGH: My cat -- here's how you can get fooled. My cat comes to me when she wants to be fed. I have learned this. I accept it for what it is. Many people in my position would think my cat's coming to me because she loves me. Well, she likes me, and she is attached, but she comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. She's actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life. But we put voices in their mouths.
entire article here
video here: (note - the second half of the video deals with devitos rant on the view and what this show should be about for women, it is also disgusting)
THEN
horror of all horrors. bill o'reilly makes me so sick. i mean i just want to scream when i even hear him. in this clip, he attacks a feminist pro-choice advocate from nyc. now, whether or not his or her position is "morally correct" his tactics are beyond reprehensible. at one point he actually says to the woman, well, not says, yells rather, that "i don't care what you think!"
and he all turns the story into baby killing and raping ten year olds. AND has the gall to say that this woman advocates both. craziness.
by the way, hate to rain on your parade but there's a new study out that links birth control to decreased teen pregnancy rates. NOT ABSTINENCE. BOO-YAH.
asshat.
clip is here if you can handle it. i think i actually had smoke pouring out of my head.
UGH.
DESPICABLE!

i had no idea...
but "turducken" is for real.
this word, which has only recently entered my vernacular, but which has apparently been around for ages (how could i be so behind the times?) is a portmanteau for a turkey stuffed with a duck which is stuffed with a chicken. all deboned, of course.
so, after hearing this word in a variety of places (first introduced to me by anne during our conversation about puppykittens) i decided i must know once and for all what the deal is with turducken. so i wiki-ed it.
the results: wikiturducken.
what fascinates me the most is not that this is actually done, but the many variations that can be performed. most impressive: turgoduckmaguikenantidgeonck. let's break it down: turkey, goose, duck, mallard, guineafowl, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon, woodcock.
now, can you imagine going to a restaurant and asking for the chef's finest turducken? didn't think so. that's why those fancy brits decided to call it a three-bird roast. just in case you ever wanted to make such a request.
(please note creepy puppet figure to right of the woman. wtf?)
i must say. at first i was disappointed. maybe it was only because of the recent puppykitten fiasco. but i was thinking someone had genetically engineered the turducken. alas, no.
