Judge Blocks County Ordinance on Adult Businesses
A federal judge ruled Tuesday, April 29, 2008 to block an ordinance passed by county leaders on adult businesses in Shelby County. The ruling was made only eight hours before the new rules were to become effective.
Under the new ordinance, all employees of the businesses - from janitors to strippers - would be required to have background checks ordered and to carry a permit that could be shown to law enforcement officers on demand.
The new rules also banned beer sales at all strip clubs in Shelby County, as well as required dancers to wear “pasties” and stay at least six feet from customers and other dancers while performing.
Judge Bernice Donald’s decision stops the ordinance from taking effect at midnight as previously scheduled. County leaders plan to appeal Donald’s decision and will take the case to the Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio. A date for that hearing has not been scheduled at this time.
What kind of background checks do ya run on jigglers? I just had to ask.

Pfft!
Barack Obama said Tuesday he was outraged by the latest assertion by his former pastor that criticism of his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church.
The Democratic presidential candidate is seeking to tamp down the growing fury over Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his incendiary remarks that threaten to undermine his campaign. “I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” Senator Obama (D-Illinois) told reporters at a news conference.
Where’s he been for the last 20 years? Why wasn’t he outraged before now? Why is only NOW getting outraged, when it’s hurting him politically?
After weeks of staying out of the public eye while critics lambasted his sermons, Wright made three public appearances in four days to defend himself. The former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago has been combative, providing colorful commentary and feeding the story Obama had hoped was dying down. “This is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright,” Wright told the Washington media Monday. “It has nothing to do with Senator Obama. It is an attack on the black church launched by people who know nothing about the African-American religious tradition.”
First off, if he’s from Africa, then so is my granddaughter. Second, do black Americans use a different Bible than white Americans? Or brown Americans? If they do, then it’s not surprising there have been reverses in progress between races.
“I gave him the benefit of the doubt in my speech in Philadelphia explaining that he’s done enormous good …. But when he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS …. There are no excuses. They offended me. They rightly offend all Americans and they should be denounced.”
LARGE piles of male bovine manure!
Why do I get the feeling that B. had a consultation with Wright, informing him that he was going to “denounce” his words? Sorry, if he was going to denounce them, then he should have gotten up and walked out of that church 20 years ago!
Ain’t buyin’ it!

I Didn’t Plant Them….
…..so they’re still alive! 
These came with the house…sorta.
The Mr planted these….
Was gonna name Brat after these, but got talked out of it. 
And then, there are MY rosebushes….that he planted…..
Ain’t they cute? Even got little buds on ‘em and everything. Well, this one does at any rate. I’m still waiting for the other two to remember what they are suppose to do.
Now, the odd thing about these buds….they’re the wrong color. We bought three bushes, all suppose to be kind of a silvery bluish color. I don’t know about you, but those don’t look silvery bluish to me. Oh well, at least I haven’t killed ‘em…….yet.

CBS Affiliate Removes News
From Faultline USA:
Twelve hours ago CBS 11, Dallas, Texas published an article:
“Obama’s Former Pastor Calls TCU A Godless College.” If you click on the link, however, you will find that the page has suddenly been removed.It would appear that although most of the national news media and pundits both left and right have labeled Wright’s latest comments as egocentric and harmful to Obama, CBS 11 Dallas has chosen sides and Wright has won this battle. This is not a good omen for Obama!
This is the Google News Alert I received this morning:
Obama’s Former Pastor Calls TCU A Godless CollegeCBS 11 - Dallas,TX,USA”He’s upset that Brite Divinity School and TCU didn’t support everything that he said,” said TCU sophomore Tory McGee. “It’s a decision that TCU made and it …See all stories on this topic
Because CBS 11 Dallas is at the home of much of the controversy, we are left to surmise what Wright actually said about TCU. Here’s an excerpt from my March 19th post, Brite Divinity School to Honor Rev. Jeremiah Wright
“TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said Monday that “TCU supports the right of free speech even when the opinions expressed are controversial. That is what a university is about. But giving an award is another matter, and in this specific case in light of Reverend Wright’s recently discovered remarks, TCU would not give such an award . . .”
Would you like to read what Jeremiah Wright actually said about TCU??? Write to CBS 11 and demand that they replace the article that they removed.
Why does the idea of threats come to mind?
