The great truck-balls debate
Carey Baker, the legislative mind behind the law mandating the size of flags in Florida classrooms while refusing to pay for them, proposes outlawing so-called bumper nuts. He wants a $60 fine for this bit of tasteless japery.
Carey brought progress on a transportation bill to a screeching halt for 20 minutes with debate on this pressing issue of our day. Sen. Jim King, (R-Jax) defended the auto accessory as "an expression of just truckiness."
When truck balls are outlawed only outlaws with have truck balls! But expect to see this debate renewed. It's an issue with, uh, potency. So let's make this proposal Bad Idea #15!
Update: The no-plastic-balls amednment gets debated by the full Senate and added to the transporation bill. You can't say these guys aren't focused on the important issues of the day. Can the war against sexist mud flaps be around the corner?
