Silly Me, It's All Bush's fault

US abstinence drive hurts AIDS fight - UN official
This is amazing!  The fact that the United States supports abstinence programs is responsible for people in Africa getting AIDS!  I especially like the following quote:
“Activists in both Uganda and the United States say the country is now in the grip of condom shortage so severe that men are using plastic garbage bags in an effort to protect themselves.”
Besides sounding like a slightly racist Saturday Night Live skit (what size garbage bags, I wonder…), wouldn’t a closed zipper provide better protection than a Hefty Bag?   It might also provide a better moral climate and one more respectful of women.  Or is it the official position of the United Nations that “dem simple black folk in Africa, dey just cain’t help deyselves?”  Gimme a break.  I wonder what those progressive, compassionate souls think of Condaleeza Rice.  On second thought, I really don’t want to know.
