Pa. Sen. Probably Hates Porn, Too

Hmm, when Chuck Ramsey does his little crime report thingy, I can safely assume it will not suggest closing down all of Philadelphia’s strip clubs. Strippers — or “heroes,” as I like to call them — are most certainly blameless in the city’s murder epidemic, except maybe for that shooting at ex-Allen Iverson hangout Club Wizzards last year.

But, out in Western Pennsylvania, Republican State Senator Jane Oriethinks strip clubs are just plain evil or something and wants to tax them more, because the GOP is the party of low taxes and personal choice.

“What I’m trying to do is have the state of Pennsylvania conduct the same study [as Texas, which just instituted a $5 pole (ho ho!) tax], to look at the adult entertainment industry, and the secondary effects it has, for example, with child abuse, and with domestic violence, with mental health issues.”

Mental health issues? There’s nothing more depressing than a pair of giant fake tits in your face.
