I know they've won it in the past… but San Francisco really deserves the award for banning the Happy Meal. (I guess that makes all their meals UNHappy Meals).
If you don't like it, damn it, don't watch it. We don't need some pin headed politician protecting us from meaningless crap like this or much else either.
The American people are tired of being treated like ignorant children.
Next, the American people don't clean themselves good enough after using a restroom. Government will have to put in 2,344 pages of regulations and controls to be sure Americans comply to protect theirs and others health.
Those women football players look pretty athletic.
I would like to ban teleprompters.
If so, we won't have to listen to the "lyer in cheif"!
Being from the OKC area, I must say the mayor is off the mark on this one..If I wanted to view this it should be my choice NOT his to tell me what to view or not…personally I wouldn't go…
Boy howdy, they took the court imposed stay on the Sharia law ban pretty seriously. Put on those burkas girls and you can play all the ball you want to…
Dang, it is stuff like this that gives conservatism a bad name. As far as I am concerned, the hard right and the hard left are the same bunch with a different name. Both want to force everyone else to do as they would have done. I am so sick of GOVERNMENT overstepping its bounds and I don't give a rip which side of the aisle they claim to be on. They are all on the wrong side of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Say it with me – I-N-D-I-V-I-D-U-A-L L-I-B-E-R-T-Y and P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y.
It's not that hard to figure out.
I would like to ban the little orange men in my basement who ate all my Doritos last night and are now eating blueberry yogurt while making lewd gestures at my pets. But everytime I call the police, they hide so well they can't be found. I mean the orange men, not the police.
All we would get is stuttering, uhhh, ahhh, uhhh, uhhh, without him being plugged in I don't think he could put together a complete sentence.
Most people grow out of this libertarian pornification glorification phase. Culture matters. There are a lot of things we need banned.
Here is one – people who honk their horn when they lock their doors on the car – like the entire world needs to be disrupted for that? That is noise pollution. Fine them – in most cities it is already illegal to honk your horn for no reason. When everyone is honking their horn then it no longer serves its purpose.
Same thing with radios.
And anyone on welfare in any way caught driving with a loud stereo – impound their care immediately.
How about banning politicians entirely?
What does this guy have against women playing football in Lingerie, I'd prefer it to seeing the crap that goes on at gay pride parades. Besides, I thought that we were supposed to encourage physical fitness, and include women in football. Just goes to show that some politicians can't control their lust for power.
At least cut their hours by 90% or so, with 8% of their remaining hours having to work in their states.
So, would that be "Obambi Unplugged"?
We are having a nanny state fobbed off on us by the elitist progressives. First it was the wookie and her fresh foods. Next pelosi with her "we have to pass it to see what's in it" which gave us mandatory obamacare. Soon to follow was government intervention in the banking industry, manufacturing, card check, FCC with net neutrality, food control, TSA groping except for politicos and muslims, and open borders. Now some nincompoop in OKC says we can't watch lingerie football. Good grief, I'm fed up with government sticking its nose into everyone else's business. Government, go back into your cave and leave us adults alone. I'm sure we can make our own decisions without your interference. You only screw it up anyway as history has shown with your infamous water saving toilets and new mercury lightbulbs.
Too many people engage in linear thinking…
We have to look at left and right as two sides of a circle. Extreem left and right eventually always meet at the bottom and become indistinguishable…
"…………..I-N-D-I-V-I-D-U-A-L L-I-B-E-R-T-Y and P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y.,………."
What the hell Ashrak,…….?????????.
that gives us too little time for anything else.
Except for the 22 beautiful tight ends, the sporty attire looks vaguely like the WNBA,,,
I bet you yell at the kids who walk on your sidewalk…
Well, Well, Well…..being an ex Okie my self…"The voices told me to stay home today and clean my guns", but I just happen to read this blog, and had to take a break to write….What in the Hell was he thinking, I thought every body from Oklahoma had the voices in their heads instructing them in the important things of life. This guy must be an outsider and should be subject to a recall election. How about it OK'ites do the city a favor and recall this guy…..well, back to work.
Let's pay them instead for their hours of productive work. That way they starve and we save money.
Alcoholic beverages with caffeine?? Does that mean I have to go to all the trouble and make my own rum and Coke?
Wasn't the Lingerie Football League formerly known as the National Football League? Once the big hits were banned from the game all that was left were a bunch of women in their skivvies.
Damn, we better let the "professionals" do that too, huh RALPH?
We really are in deep doo doo aren't we.
D, It is pretty frustrating sometimes. I know the correct direction is seeing principles guide the decisions but I am unsure how to convince people of that. Heck we can;t even have elections anymore where candidates can even answer why they are Democrats or why they are Republicans. I don;t want to see my country fall to civil war but as each day passes I fear it is close at hand. How can a guy assuage such feelings?
I grew out of the liberal indoctrination I got into the libertarian mindset. As soon as I was able to think for myself and understood that the way to find answers is to ask questions, I found out that the collectivist garbage I was taught was exactly that – garbage.
In a free society, I can honk my horn for a very good reason – cus I want to. Same with my tunes.
Care has already been impounded – its called Obamacare.
1) First of all, as my hometown of Peoria actually elected him mayor, I apoligize to the United States for Ray LaHood.
2) Ironic that pornography is a billion-dollar industry, but the mayor of OKC is going to ban the Lingerie Football Leauge.
Hah, you may be on to something. It could save busted lips.
Playing basketball with teleprompter in hand, bad for your lip.
Your fears are justified…
I suggest you locate yourself a copy of Eric Hoffer's 'Ordeal of Change'. You may find some answers…
Happy meals banned but still giving out needles to heroin users.
How did we ever live this long without the nannies.
I don't see Victoria's Secret sponsoring the WNBA.
but adult superstores, Hooters, and strip clubs are OK in OKC??
Not me…46 years old and I love liberty. Not as an abstraction, but as a real set of conditions that make my life more valuable to live, more likely to lead to the ends that I choose. You and your puritanical ilk can go jerk off in a cave somewhere. Fuck you.
Are these the great issues confronting the statesmen of our age? The merger of politics and an infantile obsession with personal morality has forever led to the degradation of a civil polity. Private morality cannot be regulated effectively enough to satisfy the moralist, so he expands his concerns (like the Progressive who worries about "full employment") in ever growing sphere of control.
Let people live their lives and reap the rewards/suffer the consequences of the choices THEY MAKE. That's the friggin' best we can do.
Well, if these lovely ladies can't get a job in OKC, maybe Janet could hire them at TSA. Talk about a great stimulus for the airline industry, I'd buy a ticket just to get the pat down. Hopefully Janet will let them keep their old uniforms.
