NationalGayNews. In a move to discredit this other lawyer, Thompson decided to submit to the court content from adult entertainment advertisers the NGN links to in an attempt to show the court that this other lawyer was in the business of "distribution of hardcore porn to anyone of any age." Judge Adalberto Jordan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida was not amused -- at all.

New York state isn't waiting to stop funding abstinence-only sex education programs.
Officials announced this week that state money will now go solely to programs that offer more comprehensive information about preventing pregnancy and sexual health.
New York state Health Commissioner Richard Daines, in a statement on the department's Web site, stated that "The Bush administration's Abstinence-Only program is an example of a failed national health care policy directive, based on ideology rather than on sound scientific-based evidence that must be the cornerstone of good public health care policy."
