] The Friday night lights in Texas could soon be without
] bumpin' and grindin' cheerleaders. Legislation filed by
] Rep. Al Edwards would put an end to "sexually suggestive"

] "It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way
] they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it
] down," said Edwards, a 26-year veteran of the Texas
] House. "And then we say to them, 'don't get involved in
] sex unless it's marriage or love, it's dangerous out
] there' and yet the teachers and directors are helping
] them go through those kind of gyrations."

[ And that filthy DANCING, too... no more of that. And ROCK AND ROLL music... it's a dangerous influence! ]

Can we pass a federal law that prohibits lawmakers from wasting valuable legislative resources on crap like this?

[ Agreed. Welcome to the new "moral" america, where sexually suggestive dancing is evil, but cutting benefits for the poor is good fiscal policy. Jesus Christ would be proud. -k]
