As if the state of Texas needed to give the national media any more reason to mock us, our team of monkees (known collectively as the state legislature) added another to the list yesterday when they passed the lewd cheerleader bill through the House.
Apparently, the most pressing issue concerning Texas public education is not that the legislature can't find a sane way to finance schools, but rather it rests on the pelvic angles of their cheerleaders.
The bill was proposed by Rep. Al Edwards, a deranged ordained minister from Houston, who called the vote "monumental."
He's right - it was monumentally asinine and a complete waste of time.
Edwards has a long track record of allowing his ministry to ride roughshod over common sense, and once upon a time he advocated cutting the thumbs off drug dealers in prison as a reasonable punishment.
The only fitting punishment for Edward's utter waste of taxpayer time and money would be to strap him to a chair and let squad after cheerleading squad dance suggestively in front of the good Reverend until he started foaming at the mouth.
And then they would dance some more.
On a related note, the scene in "Bring It On" with the militant cheerleading coach is one of the funniest I have every seen committed to film.
Let me see those Spirit Fingers people . . .
