Cartoon that nicely sums up the flaw in abstinence-only education.

Adam Corolla's Movie Idea: Grand Theft Submarine.

Another great piece by Michael Lewis about Blaine Lourdes, a stock-broker who sold his soul. And then got it back. And beat the market in the process. Here's a quote:

It wasn't exactly the career he’d hoped for. Once, he confessed to his boss his misgivings about the performance of his customers' portfolios. His boss told him point-blank, "Blaine, you're confused about your job." A fellow broker added, "Your job is to turn your clients' net worth into your own." Blaine wrote that down in his journal.
