Well, as I mentioned before I like to stay away from the “hot political topic” but here’s one I couldn’t pass up.

According to this story, good old Dubya is busily “protecting” people by working on some legislature to suppress pro-homosexual drama. The law is targeted at books and plays, and not obscure ones; Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Color Purple and A Chorus Line are mentioned specifically as being subject to the ban. Here’s a quote from the article, describing a dialog between the author and one of Bush’s supporters doing the work on this legislature

“Traditional family values are under attack,” Allen informs me. They’ve been under attack “for the last 40 years”. The enemy, this time, is not al-Qaida. The axis of evil is “Hollywood, the music industry”. We have an obligation to “save society from moral destruction”. We have to prevent liberal libarians and trendy teachers from “re-engineering society’s fabric in the minds of our children”. We have to “protect Alabamians”

Yikes. The article goes on to challenge “Allen” on Shakespearean literature, which was of course performed by all male casts originally.

Would Allen’s bill cut off state funding for Shakespeare?

“Well,” he begins, after a pause, “the current draft of the bill does not address how that is going to be handled. I expect details like that to be worked out at the committee stage. Literature like Shakespeare and Hammet [sic] could be left alone.” Could be. Not “would be”.

Ahh, let’s elect guys like this to public office. Oh wait, they already did. Crap.

Protect Alabamians, like jeez.
