Billboard Ruling
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1156480260.shtml


   The courts have [1]overturned a Missouri law banning sexually explicit
   billboards on 1st amendment grounds.

   Even though I like looking at nekkid women and all, I find it more
   than a little odd to contemplate the notion that the founding fathers
   meant the first amendment to mean protection of porny billboards but
   would have thought it just peachy to have the government control the
   content and funding of political ads in the weeks leading up to
   election day.
