Randomly reprinted post (XI)

"


These are the baseball cards I have in my collection that show Uniform Number 32. One Danny Gladden card gets displayed back and front to show the 3 and 2, one Dennis Martinez card has only the back displayed because you can't see the 32 on the front, and two cards (Andy Van Slyke and Benji Gil) have players other than the 'focal' one with my favorite of numbers. (The Van Slyke card features Gene Lamont, but I don't know who's wearing it on the Gil card.) Plus eight team cards that you can see a 32 on somebody if you squint hard enough.

His study shows that 23 percent of ninth grade girls have already had sex by the time they received abstinence lessons. And after they attend, the percentage increased. The numbers for boys are even worse, but they lag the girls by a year. Abstinence education, which must have “as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity” to get federal funding, has been strongly pushed by President George W. Bush, who was governor of Texas before he was elected president. (Dallas Morning News) ...Because girls said no to him while he was in school, and he wants to be sure that doesn’t change now that he’s out.
