REPUBLICANS, PUBLIC RESTROOMS, ETC

And now another, yes another, Republican has been nabbed by the toilet police ... this time it is a Daytona Beach City Commissioner named Mike Shallow. Perhaps the Republican Party should start recruiting at the nation's public restrooms? Think of the possibilities! Why use those flimsy wooden voting booths? It’s costing the city of Minneapolis $15,000 to fix up Senator Larry Craig’s old stall. Save on Taxes, Vote in a Stall! On second thought perhaps Craig's appeal on the constitutional grounds of Free Speech with reference to his actions "in the stall" should succeed first.

And, there is this sidebar on the Craig story ...
David Phillips, pictured above, is the man reported to have "tricked" with Craig, you know -- in the public restroom. Phillips' license plates read: "POOFTER" which the dictionary says is a negative British colloquialism for gay men. Ya' learn something new ever day! Anyway, after 13 years the Commonwealth of Virginia apparently has caught on and is recalling his "vanity" plates. Why? Sounds like the cover fits the book!
