We Don't Need No Stinking Science

Well, it looks like the Right's disdain for truth and facts is not limited to Faux News.

(Of course, that runs smack into this little problem-- Columbia University researchers found that although teenagers who take "virginity pledges" may wait longer to initiate sexual activity, 88 percent eventually have premarital sex.)
