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.
