  Our fine state Senate here in Florida has seen fit to make attaching “Truck Nutz” to your vehicle illegal. The article looks so much like something from The Onion, that I had to verify it. Sure enough, Florida Senate Bill S 1992 as engrossed 4/17/2008 contains the following clause: “Section 5. Whoever willfully displays on a vehicle an image 550 or device of reproductive glands, commits a noncriminal traffic 551 violation, punishable as a moving violation as provided in
  chapter 318, Florida Statutes.”

  If bad taste is going to be criminalized in Florida, we’re all in a lot of trouble.

  Has anyone else been having any problems getting on the TSO website, or getting a current Daily List?

  I use the Previous Daily Lists area of the site to pick up legislation from, and each days list is usually there by mid morning.

  I couldn’t get on the Daily List part of the TSO site for most of this morning, and it doesn’t appear to have any Previous List for yesterday or today, last lot showing is Fridays. Are they on holiday, having problems, or am I mad?

  An interesting site has launched in the US. Called Govit, it’s a kind of social networking site for politics and legislation, allowing citizens to discuss and vote on legislation, and compare their votes with their elected representatives. (via Read/Write Web)

  US gov’t sells exclusive access to its legislative history to Thomson West? Whilst this wouldn’t surprise me, it’s a really, really bad idea if it’s true… Freedom of information, anyone?
