How does that work?
Up here in Canada, the supreme court ruled that if upper body nudity isn’t indecent for men, it isn’t indecent for anyone.
- Yeah, equality doesn't exist in the US anymore
  
  Did it ever?

The bill passed 54-45, with 4 Republicans breaking rank on the bill—the most of any bill so far in Montana this session. It advances to third reading today, whereupon if it passes, it will move to the Senate for further debate.
The bill is horrible but I find encouraging that 4 Republicans voted against it.

There’s a reason Montana has some of the highest highway speed limits in the US. So, you can get out faster.

Uh oh! How will I be able to bring my CHILDREN to HOOTERS now? Oh wait this doesn't Effect that NEVERMIND!
- I recently read they're filing bankruptcy, and with the food quality from my ancient history memory, that's probably why.
  
  I actually saw a new restaurant the other day called "Hoots Wings by Hooters." Apparently it's got the Hooters food without the Hooters waitresses. All I could think was "good luck with that, LOL!"
