Since I'm sitting in the Denver airport waiting for my NY connection, I thought it was appropriate to blog about this nonsense out of Colorado:

A state lawmaker used a derogatory term Wednesday to describe unmarried teen parents as sexually promiscuous and complained that society condones premarital sex.

"In my parents' day and age, (unmarried teen parents) were sent away, they were shunned, they were called what they are," Republican Rep. Larry Liston said during a GOP legislative caucus meeting in Denver. "There was at least a sense of shame."

Liston continued: "There's no sense of shame today. Society condones it ... I think it's wrong. They're sluts. And I don't mean just the women. I mean the men, too."

Oh, well that makes it better. You have to love that Liston, in addition to calling teens 'sluts', thinks that having shame is actually a good thing. It never ceases to amaze me the things that come out of legislators' mouths.

If you'd like to contact Listonand let him know that trying to shame young women and calling them sluts is unacceptable, you can email him hereor give him a call: 303-866-2965.
