Mandatory Transvestite Bathrooms in Brazil
Jacko of Arabia may want to consider relocating to South America. Fox News reports that the city council of Nova Iguacu, Brazil has passed a bill that with the mayor's okay would require night clubs, shopping malls, movie theaters, and large restaurants to provide a third restroom for transvestites.
Never mind how much it would cost for all these businesses to build a third bathroom. Like all moonbattery, it will be ostensibly free to its beneficiaries because someone else will be forced to pay for it.
The Brazilian bill goes beyond the trend at American colleges — promoted by such high-minded organizations as People in Search of Safe Restrooms and Queer Action Campaign for Gender-Neutral Bathrooms — to provide "de-gendered" restrooms that anyone can use, on the grounds that "lots of people don't fit neatly into our culture's rigid two-gender system."
This is certainly good news for Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who won't have to stop and think before using the restroom the next time he/she visits Nova Iguacu.

What is all that tin foil doing behind the doctor?
I know! to protect him from KKKarl Rovian mind control rays.

Jimmy Carter consulted psychic while in the White House
Didn't the left make fun of Nancy Reagan for consulting an astrologer?

For 2008, Tim Curry as the Democrats's candidate.
And yes VK the press did make fun of Nancy's use of astrologers.

Speaking of Jacko of Arabia...there may be a good reason he's hiding out there (I mean, besides the ready availability of catamites who can keep mum):
Jacko: Financial Wipeout Imminent
On Tuesday, Dec. 20, he will be declared officially in default by Fortress Investment Group on loans of $270 million. Jackson, knowing this day has been drawing near for the last year, has done nothing whatsoever to ameliorate the situation, sources tell me...
I am also told that the situation at Neverland is dire. While Jackson is in Bahrain with his kids and their nanny, some of the electricity at the ranch was recently shut off by Pacific Gas and Electric.
Also, there are real fears now for the animals in Jackson's home zoo. Last week, the ranch was down to almost no food for the animals. At the last minute, sources say, a delivery was made, but it won't last long...
The interesting thing here is that Jackson has known for a long time that this day was coming. He's been warned about it by his closest advisers and family members, and if he chose to, he could have read it about in a number of places, including this column.
But insiders tell me Jackson has not done anything to contact or work with Fortress. He's simply opted to ignore the situation, sources say, rather than face reality.
Last April he was offered a chance to sell half of his interest in the Sony catalogue, which would have freed up enough cash to pay all his bills and debts. That deal would have left him with a 25 percent interest in Sony/ATV Music Publishing as well.
But Jackson never answered that offer because he'd become paranoid, as usual, that somehow he was being ripped off.
Hm.

Typical liberal bullshit.
A few homos can't decide whether they belong in the male or female bathroom so now we have to build a third?
Ridiculous.

Not content to be driven out of business by market forces, the LATimes is now poking That Which Must Not Be Named with a metaphorical stick.
