Timliness Is Everything

As I'm taking a break from studying for CHLTH 206, I find this article via Atrios about an arrest in the uptight state of Texas.

"It makes you wonder what they're thinking out there in Texas,'' Davis said. "They sound like prudes, with antiquated laws. They must have all their street crime under control in Texas if they're going to spend tax money arresting us.''

For the past year, Webb has sold the company's line of vibrators, gels, lubricants, strawberry-flavored nipple cream and "edible passion puddings.'' The merchandise is offered for sale in private, Tupperware-style parties to women who may be reluctant to visit an adult novelty store.

I don't care about your religious views, but there are priorities, and street crimes tend to have more social reprocussions than what people do in their own bedrooms. And Republicans talk about government waste - sheesh.
