On the 31st, the local news outlets were crowing that an appeals court had affirmed the city's recent victory on distance requirements (1,500 fet from everything). Mayor Bill White got in front of the cameras and recited a speech that sounded like it was written by an ugly bitter feminist. He said "We're going to close these clubs that objectify women."
Last time I looked, a lot of women are willingly objectifying themselves, willingly, joyfully doing so. Of course it could be that the jerkwad, who just announced he's running for US Senate in 2010 is trying to court the feminist/conservative vote. He thinks Obama's election was a bellweather, but the fact is, he's a democrat, and therefore doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in very Republican and conservative (leave our strip joints be) Texas.
Dudester,
Are you nuts? Where did you get the idea that "...a lot of women are willingly objectifying themselves, willingly, joyfully doing so." is allowed? You must know that we are quickly becoming a country where our freedoms are only those allowed by others. There are a lot of un-employed dwarfs! Remember when they "willingly, joyfully" subjected themselves to dwarf tossing? NO NO, not allowed!
Got to laugh, so you don't cry, about our loss of freedom!
