DEL. ALGIE T. Howell Jr., a Virginia Democrat, visited a Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court not long ago and apparently came away shaken. It
wasn’t the crime, abuse, depravity and suffering that got to Mr. Howell. It
was the pants. Or rather the underpants.
It seems that Mr. Howell, a 67-year-old Air Force veteran and past PTA
president from Norfolk, hadn’t kept abreast of youth fashion –
specifically the craze for pants that ride so low on the hips as to expose
a strip of boxers or briefs. His revulsion at glimpsing the offending
fabric was so profound that he did what lawmakers tend to do: He wrote a
bill. According to Mr. Howell’s legislation, a $50 fine would be the price
for anyone who “wears and displays his below-waist undergarments . . . in a
lewd or indecent manner.” “This bill is simply about respect for others,”
Mr. Howell said. “It has to do with character building.”
Butt I don’t think it will pass… I’m sure the plumbers union will fight
it
At first I thought, good, I’m tired of seeing that stuff. That thought
quickly went to…but I definitely don’t want the government legislating how
people should wear their pants.
That just seems a bit overboard.

A Virginia Democrat in any other state would be a Right leaning Republican
so it’s not surprising to me in the least. Virginia is a hotbed of
Evangelical Xtians and Right wing loons to the point that even the Democrats
there are more right then center.

Cant help it…
The two most swinging foxes had the hots on for us and are coming here
tonight to let us hold on to their big American breasts!!!
Why not? There’s no other pair of Czech brothers who cruise and swing so
successfully in tight slacks.
Because we are two wild and caaaaazy Czechoslovakian guys!
