As a Libertarian I can tell you this is sooooo true. Thanks to Rousseau and Dewey folks only get instructed oops I meant educated in things that provide work/employment..........understanding terms much less concepts like freedom, economies whether macro or micro, individualism, collectivism..... no no too hard for folks and boring..........give them a little money or a lot.....just keep them amused. BTW they even changed what amuse means

Okay removing foil now

so...they were trying to say the strip club made them steal cars ?

[SmoothPancakes]

Plaintiffs, and by extension their customers, seek an erection of a constitutional wall separating themselves from the regulatory power of City government.

Oh, they seek an erection all right.

No. The case is about whether local government (San Antonio) can regulate strip clubs (i.e. you must wear a bikini top if you do not get a licence) or if said regulations violates the 1st Amendment (free speech). The Court held said regulations do not violate the 1st Amendment following the case law previously decided by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (which the USDC WD TX "must"/should do).

The "steal cars" portion you were referring to was the Court citing another/separate case where the criminal defendants went on a grand theft auto spree after leaving a strip club. The Court was citing this (and other cases - somewhat jokingly) for the proposition that crazy stuff (a.k.a more crime) tends to happen in/around/near strip clubs.

[CLW]

Yeah the ruling is FULL of double entendres. Who knew patrons and strip club owners were really concerned about erecting Constitutional limitations on Big Brother.

Wife did not dig the dreads huh?

Yeah, I was cracking up while reading through it. Double entendre after double entendre. Funny stuff.

Okay some scientist needs to figure this one out. Is it Global Warming or Cooling? Here in Perryton Texas it was 95 yesterday. Today it is 44 and tomorrow, in the month of May, we have an inch of snow expected. Actually we are used to these kind of swings but the snow in May is kinda new.

I got it all figured out. It's called WEATHER which is subject to swings/cycles in temperature; precipitation; etc....

Ignore those with financial incentives to tell you the world is ending unless you walk/ride a bike to work while they fly around in their private jets.

As long as I don't have to deal with an entire month of goddamn 100-115 degree highs with muggy as all hell conditions like last June. That shit may be the norm down in Oklahoma, Texas and the deep south, but it is NOT the norm here in NW Ohio.

Even with an air conditioner running 24/7 (the shitty piece of crap it may have been), there were some days last summer that I honestly believe I ended up heat sick just laying on the coach trying to move as little as possible. The room I spend most of my time in felt like it was easily 90-95 during the late afternoons and evenings, and with a window air conditioner going in the next room and two floor fans running, one to direct the AC cooled air in my direction and one blowing directly on me, I still ended up sick to my stomach, light headed, nauseous and a tingling feeling in my fingers and toes, all while gulping down water nonstop like a damn fish.

Every night I'd have to go stop whatever I was doing on my laptop, the TV, etc, and just pull up a chair and sit literally right up against the AC, and usually end up there for at least an hour or two before I'd start to feel like I wasn't about to vomit. We've never had the need for central air around here just because the worst it would usually get is mid to upper 90s, for at most a couple days here and there throughout the summer. Before hitting 100 for one day back in 2011, it had not been 100 or higher here in NW Ohio since 1995. 2011 we had one day at 100+, last year, we had multiple weeks, damn near an entire month at 100+. Otherwise, a window AC has always been enough to keep the entire house at least reasonably cooled. Last summer, it didn't do shit.

[bdoughty]

We are lucky here. Sure we get weeks at a time of 100 degree weather but it is a dry heat. It's those poor bastards in East Texas that have to deal with the heat and humidity.

[SmoothPancakes]

That's what it was for us up here last summer. We got all the heat AND all the humidity, making it absolutely miserable outside. I changed my entire work schedule last summer, any day of the week, so I was going into work between 11pm and 9am to get my stuff done, just because I had no desire to drive into work in that crap. Even with central air provided by an industrial AC unit, the entire building up at work would still suck to be in during the day, unless the thermostat was dropped clear down to like 50 degrees.

[baseballplyrmvp]

i'd rather have 100 degrees day in and day out, than have it rain 80% of the year.

You'd be singing a different tune after long enough, especially if it's the ungodly humid 100 degrees.

2-5 inches of snow on MAY 1ST!

First time in 46 years it has snowed in May here.

who can tell his boss to go "**** himself", slam his office door and still have a job the next day and everything go on as if nothing happened the day before?
