EDIT: The Mail have now edited their headline to remove the word "each".

Today the Daily Mail have a story that combines two of their favourite bête noires - the internet and local government. The former is a morally degenerate playground for paedophiles and teenager layabouts that can cause cancer if you so much glance at a social networking site. The latter is a morally degenerate playground for people who like wasting tax-payers' money for doing very little work. I'd argue with that, but it's not worth it; it'd be easier to justify animal testing to a room full of Greens. Which, coincidentally, I'll be doing in Brighton City Hall next Saturday.

Amid all the impotent flailing on Conservapedia, I stumbled across this little gem of a wild assertion, in the stomach-turning essay Marry a Conservative:

"Marry a conservative. Benefits include:
* freedom from sexually transmitted diseases and their harm (including infertility)"

Really? Conservatives don't get STDs? Well if that's true, then we should see some really striking results if we, say, create a table of the states with the highest STD rates, and colour them according to whether they're Republican (red) or Democrat (blue)...
