So there's a big fight over who really gets to screw the local taxpayers. Typical.

I wonder how much of that money was given to Cobb.

OK, how about a 'Photo Contest' from public property to capture shots of patrons entering these fine little establishments? Bring the pimps and the johns to their knees for a change....economically....

In a 60 minutes interview with Dan Rather to be aired this Sunday, Percy Butch, an anti-stadium activist said:

BUTCH: I'm shocked that any thinking person would question the motives of a coalition of the League of Women Voters, the Legal Aid Society, the Statehood Green Party, and a captain of the gay porn industry! We all know that baseball is representative of the evils of American Society!

RATHER: How so?

BUTCH: Is it any coincidence that "W" played freshman baseball at Yale and co-owned a baseball team! And we all know that Halliburton would muscle in on the food and beverage concessions! Dick Cheney would see to that!

RATHER: And there is an ugly hate crime aspect to all of this, isn't there, Mr. Butch?

BUTCH: Call me Percy, puhleeze! Yes. Definitely! There is the issue of sexual taunting that those muscular, beefy, sweaty baseball players impose on the gay community! It amounts to the hate crime of unrequited sexual tension!

RATHER: [Visibly perspiring] Watching Kerry and Edwards in action, I felt, er, a similar, but not exactly the same tension...and...

BUTCH: ...and the way they grasp [audible gasp] their big bats wearing those ever-so-tight spandex uni's...why...it was...

RATHER: ..it was, er, to pardon the pun, rather tense even for a seasoned journalist like me...it was, as we say down Houston way, even tenser than a thong on the south side of Brad Pitt!

BUTCH: Ooh...my goodness gracious, it is getting tense in here! Ooh...Dan!! Did you just have a wardrobe malfunction?

[TAPE BROKE ACCORDING TO CBS SOURCES.]

At least when the sex industry people screw the taxpayers, they enjoy it.
