Designing artist t-shirts is good, mkay

OK, slow week, been insanely busy with mundane office stuff … still, have a few pieces of local idocy to report … never any shortage of mouthbreathing here.

“I get in more trouble in my front yard than in a beer joint.”–local man, requesting the Council to “do something about” his “white-trash neighbors.”

Said in open meeting, soo, it’s fair game.

This is an old one, but it’s (former chief justice and all-around dipshit) Roy Moore, so it never goes out of style.

“A person is never biased by abiding by the law,” (Moore) said. “The law in Alabama says that sodomy is against the law.”

–Chief Justice Roy Moore, quoted in AP story. In addition to being poorly put, the above statement is wrong. “Sodomy” between consenting adults has been legal in Alabama since the mid-1980s.

Though someone else did point out:

Actually, it’s legal between married adults. If you are not married, you are breaking the law — but only if you get caught. Also, keep in mind, the great state of Alabama defines sodomy as just about anything fun — pretty sure slip-n-slides and beer fall under that category. The state also legally defines several people in a room with their shoes off and being in an orgy, go figure.

Still, why should anyone care what two consenting people do in the privacy of their own home. Again, the government is spending way too much time — and tax dollars — worrying about what is going on in people’s pants.

This is another outtake from one of our local council meetings:

“He’s basically a butthole.”

– Mayor talking about an engineer for the Department of Transportation who has given the town a hard time in its past attempts to get traffic lights, signs and lowered speed limits on a highway here. Hooray for Robert’s Rules of Order. Also for the court rulings making just about anything said in a government meeting public domain.

Now, just a shout out to all the spammers eating up my time and space on the Art Life Collective custom t-shirt designer’s forum: I hope you all die on my birthday.

Oh, and here is the Art Life Collective t-shirt design for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Boston Bomb Farce
