No wonder Fla is so screwed up - Truck Nutz (image fixed)
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 10:12 PM by Jersey Devil
OK, just so this can be in GDP, GOBAMA!

The Florida Senate, faced with a massive budget crunch that will bleed the public schools dry, took up a really important issue yesterday.



Drivers who want their trucks to have that virile look dodged a bullet in the Legislature Wednesday.

State senators talked over the pressing issue of ''truck nutz'' after Sen. Carey Baker, a Eustis Republican, proposed a $60 fine for vehicles that have the popular anatomical figures on display. The proposal was an amendment to a larger bill dealing with transportation issues.

The measure met with resistance from Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican, who called them ''a statement of truckyness''.

Sen. Evelyn Lynn also objected to the bill. ''This seems to be a morality ticket. It doesn't seem germane.''

After a 20-minute discussion, the ''truck nutz'' measure was bagged.
