Visible ones on statues and in paintings, that is.

A Texas man is concerned about the nudity in our nation's capital. He wanted to add a plank to the Texas GOP platform that decried artistic indecency. He also wants to make the 22nd amendment (presidential term limits) apply to marriages.

Normal people complain about soaring gas prices, healthcare costs, and food prices.

Then there are people like that guy and John Ashcroft who complain about boobies on statues.

The adage "It takes one to know one" comes to mind.

But Hurt said he'll pursue the issue, possibly with another trip here to videotape the evidence.

Hmmm.....

I don't think this is fair to Ashcroft. If you knew even the slightest thing about the battles between the Administration and the Justice Dept over the scope of executive power, you'd realize Ashcroft served his country well.

He wants term limits on marriages???

8 years? Or 10 if your predecessor died during the marriage?

It wasn't made clear in the article, but he wants the amendment to apply to the spouse of a President, for instance, if a certain president, we'll call PBC was to serve as president for 8 years, then his wife, call her FLHC, would not be eligible to serve as president. He would probably like a clause in there that states this amendment would only apply to Democrats.

I gotta admit, I thought he was talking about limiting marriage to 8 years, too.

And you wouldn't need to add the clause about it only applying to Democrats...Republican wivesknow better than to even try, since their place is in the kitchen. (GD&R)










Oh, come on, weren't you thinking the same thing?

Whew....I was a little concerned that I'd have to go home & tell Keith that our marriage license had been expired for the past 14 years!

Did the Vow Renewal in Feb. count?

What's not fair about it? Are you saying that Ashcroft didn't have an issue with boobies on statues? I don't know what that has to do with any battles he may have had about executive power.

Since we had two weddings, I've always told GW it would take two divorces to get rid of me. That's too expensive, so she has to keep me around.

I agree with Steve??

I've previously agreed with flock, BiT, SirG, Cal and, representing the left, SSS. So,what's next, agreeing with holtdaddio??

Let me be perfectly clear about this. It is not me. Even though I'm an assman, I like boobs, too.

Let me take this opportunity to ask about your avatar, Eyegor. I'm guessing it's from a political cartoon, but I'm not sure of the issue/viewpoint.

It's the little man being devoured by the big, bad...???

Well, I consider one issue to be vastly more important than the other (hint: it involves executive power). So, reducing Ashcroft to a prude and a punchline by comparing him to the twit mentioned in this article does a disservice to him.

My guess is Thomas Nast.

Be that as it may, he did issue a decree to cover the bare-breasted statues in the Justice Department, especially the ones that flanked the speaker's podium.

I've always told Jeff that if we get a divorce, he gets full custody of the girls and I will get a job as a greeter at Wal-Mart and pay child support.

Right, and every time someone mentions his name, that gets brought up.

Either that or "Let the Eagle Soar."

My favorite Ashcroft factoid is that he lost his 2000 U.S. Senate election to a dead man, Mel Carnahan. Ashcroft was the incumbent. If he had won reelection, he never would have been named Attorney General.

This sticks in my mind because I was in St. Louis on 11/4/2000, the Saturday before election day. I was there to audition for WWTBAM, and I couldn't help noticing all the Ashcroft and Carnahan signs around town.

It wasn't made clear in the article, but he wants the amendment to apply to the spouse of a President, for instance, if a certain president, we'll call PBC was to serve as president for 8 years, then his wife, call her FLHC, would not be eligible to serve as president. He would probably like a clause in there that states this amendment would only apply to Democrats.

In that case, why limit it to spouses? Why not other family relationships, say....parents/children (I'm looking at you, Bushes), siblings, etc....

And if spouse or family member #1 served, but not for 8 years....is family member #2 then eligible for a single term? F'rinstance, would Barbara Bush or Rosalyn Carter or Betty Ford be eligible, but not Nancy Reagan or Laura Bush?
