The eyes of Texas are upoooon yooouuuu

Sometimes (okay, most of the time, honestly) I do not understand the mentality of the state I live in. I'd think this was joke, if I didn't know better.

From Texas comes news that the state House has passed a bill to take the rah-rah out of "overtly sexually suggestive" cheerleading.

Excerpt: "I can see why Texas lawmakers would want to put the clamps -- or is it burkas? -- on their cheerleaders. With their seductive melodic chants and nifty moves, they might unleash the birds and the bees both. Why, innocent young fellows in the stands could be provoked to un-football-like thoughts.

[...]

I know nothing of the lawmaker behind this legislation but I do note that he is a Democrat, from the same party of polecats that support the gay agenda -- you know, the demand that gay people be treated like human beings with dignity and respect.

Could it be that he is cracking down on cheerleaders so that young men, at an impressionable age, will watch the boys on the field more than the girls on the sidelines, if you get my drift? Why, if the girls are not allowed to be a little bit frisky, will our young men adopt the horrid social customs of places like Saudi Arabia where cheerleading is forbidden? Hey, I'm just asking."

*headdesk*

At least he's trying to make light of a really stupid situation...

Good thing they're worried about shelter and food for those unable to afford them. Or lessons for students.
