Having grown up under the watchful parental eyes of the Utah legislature—“We know what's good for you.™”—I sympathize with those poor souls who are legislated upon by the Texas Lege, as Molly Ivins calls 'em, a group who have banned cheerleading of a “suggestive nature,” a term which here means “whatever your local wing-nut superintendant damn well wants it to mean.”

The unkind things that can be said about the Ledge are legion and wrranted. But The Onion puts it best: “If we outlawed everything some people find offensive, there wouldn't even be a Texas in the first place.”

Got to love TX.
But then again I live in a state where a state senator (John Ford) justified spending fifteen thousand dollars of his campaign money on his daughter's wedding with;
1/3 of the people there "are my constituents" and they deserve to experience a "gala event"
AND
"others do it" (spend campaign money on weddings and other social events) but wont name names.
Got to love TN!

Don't feel bad - this "issue" has been in the news in Utah. There will likely be legislation proposed in the next session. UT can "outwhacko" TN & TX put together! Our license plates should say "The Greatest 'DOH' on Earth." GUY
