Why is it that the states (and countries) that seem to have their shit together* are always so goddamn cold?
Maine Becomes the 3rd State to Reject Federal Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Funding:
“We thank Maine’s Health and Human Services’ Public Health Department for having the courage to refuse these funds and putting the wellbeing of our young people ahead of a political agenda,” said Nicole Clegg, director of public affairs for the Family Planning Association of Maine. “The refusal of these funds sends a clear message that Maine values and respects its youth,” Clegg continued. “With the support of SIECUS and others, we continue to advance public health policies that have been proven to reduce teen pregnancy rates and promote healthy behaviors among youth,” Clegg concluded.
Now let’s hope more states will pull their heads out of their asses and follow suit.
* Ed. note: This should not be interpreted as me knocking Georgia, because even though it clearly has its faults, I do love living in Georgia. I plan to write a post about that very subject at a later date.

That’s because hot weather makes you dumb and makes thinking harder.
Because people in cold states know fucking is the best way to keep warm. People in warm states take this for granted.
It’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity.
That line never gets old.
