Sexy and Cheerleading Don't Mix

First they came for the slimy energy companies that had pissed away their employees' life savings, but I was not an energy company employee. And so I said nothing.

Then they came for all the obscene words and actions on the television, but I was not even paying much attention to network TV anymore. And so I said nothing.

And then they came for all the carb- and calorie-rich junk food, but I was needing to lose some lbs. myself. And so I said nothing.

But then they came for the sexy high school cheerleading.

And that's when these cultural bombthrowers went too far.

ABC News has followed the crusade of Texas state Rep. Al Edwards. Armed with a bill to outlaw sexy cheerleading, this Democratic legislator has apparently spent far too many brisk Lone Star evenings huddled up in the bleachers, watching the cheerleaders gyrate and slither their way into his subconscious, a synapse-snappin' no-man's-land of frying pan sizzle and jailbait fantasies.

"Under Edwards' bill, if a school district knowingly permits such a performance, funds from the state would be reduced in an amount to be determined by the education commissioner," reported ABC.

Stop the madness.
