a beautiful day in the neighborhood
My current attempt to keep my blog updated on a daily basis almost failed as quickly as it started today... until I read the news at CNN.
Apparently, the Texas state legislature is dismayed at the sexually suggestive cheerleading of high school students in their state. Now, while it's been a good six years since I was in high school, I'm fairly sure that it didn't matter what the cheerleaders were saying... their simple identities as cheerleaders and the short-skirted outfits they wore were all the suggestion of sex that a teenage male would require. I mean, hell... one of the perks of being on the football team is getting to check out the cheerleaders as they practice, and later, cheer, at your games. That's the whole point.
State Representative Al Edwards (D, Houston) complained of cheerleaders "shaking their behinds, breaking it down." I know what you're thinking, and, no, he actually said that. As far as I'm concerned, the only cheerleaders I don't want to see "shaking their behinds" and "breaking it down" are the ugly ones and the ones with a truncated twenty-third chromosome.
I'm tired of this wave of "decency" washing across the country. I've now turned my former aggression toward California (including my wishes to set strategic explosives along the length of its border with the mainland, blow them up, and slide the state off into the ocean) toward Texas. I know that some of my friends live in that state, but Texas has just gone too far at attempting to force conservative "christian" values down the throats of the rest of the nation. Sever all ties and give it to Mexico.
If Davey Crockett had known that this was what he was fighting for, he would've said "screw the Alamo, I'm going home."

i think that dance recitals are MUCH more disturbing than cheerleaders. Prepubescent girls trumped up in shimmering, skintight lycra, shaking their lil'bootays to "Toxic".
in front of an audience comprised at least partially of middle-aged men.
Never ceases to freak me out.
