Just two weeks ago my wife and I were at a Parent education night at our middle school and one of the lectures was teen sex. The lady giving the lecture was very sweet, middle aged, knew her subject well and used decorum and tactfulness. She was the type of person you would approve of in a position like that, with a serious message to deliver to teens. She didn't trivialize or legitimize any behavior, and I was thinking that she was as perfect as could be, but maybe a touch too P.C.

THEN she dropped the bomb...she said Bill Clinton was reprehensible for his actions and what he forced parents to talk to their kids about at much too early of an age for some.

She said some of the older kids she speaks with think that oral sex is ok, and not really sex at all and that "we have Bill Clinton to thank for that".

Well you would have thought I had died and gone to heaven! I blurted out loudly that I despised him for that too, and then everybody started looking at each other and my wife was giving me the "you've gone too far for this crowd" look...but all of these parents were nodding agreement and vocalizing approval. I thought there would at least be a few klinton lovers in the crowd that would get pithy, but this was definately not their night...if they were there they stayed silent.

Afterward, walking out I commented to my wife that I thought that klinton part of the lecture went rather well, and she almost fell on the floor laughing.
