QUOTE OF THE DAY. . .ER, YESTERDAY

From this NYT article on proposed taxes on topless bars to pay for property tax breaks and school funding:

But an older dancer [at the Yellow Rose, not work safe!] saw it differently. Rio, 32, a mother and homeowner who said she had a bachelor's degree in art, said she was appalled by the governor's proposal. She characterized it as immoral because it linked "adult entertainment" with school children and because she saw it as a tax increase on the women like herself, who she said lack political influence.

"This is the lowest thing they could do," Rio said. "The governor wants to give the owners of the biggest houses a tax break and he wants women who have to take their clothes off for money to pay for it."
