Who said our politicians don't have balls? From AP-
RICHMOND, Va. - Drive in Virginia with outsized rubber replica testicles dangling from your trailer hitch and face a fine under a bill before the General Assembly.You know I prefer people not hang such things for public display at the same time wishing our public officials would find something more meaningful to do with their time.Taste and even decency notwithstanding, Del. Lionel Spruill introduced the bill Tuesday as a safety measure: male genitalia swaying from a car distracts other drivers.
His bill would make displaying the ornamentation a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $250.
The idea and motivation, however, came from a constituent upset that his young daughter had caught sight of the facsimile sex organs and asked what they were.``I didn't know what to tell her,'' Spruill said, quoting the constituent, whom he refused to identify.

"I didn't know what to tell her," Spruill said
Umm.. how about the all too common white lie parents are faced with. Tell her they are marbles in a bag.
I mean really, there's not much difference.
And yes this ass-hatted politician needs to find a more fruitful use of his and the taxpayers time and money.

And BTW, I agree with the commenter at the link I provided: "When nuts on trucks are outlawed, only outlaws in trucks will have nuts?"

So now no balls are allowed in Virginia?
Hell, I knew that when they elected Tim Kaine as Governor . . .

Alan Orfi, now you owe me a cleaning wipe for my computer screen. I'll have to put a set on my sorry Ford so i'll have a target to kick.
