Government Tramples Sacred Right to Wear Chicken Suits


By Zamboni

On the bird-news front, here's a little item from Nevada that's put Cheshire-cat grins on our faces.

State election officials in the Silver State have banned chicken costumes within 100 feet of polling places. This development is thanks to the idiocy of Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden, who foolishly suggested one month ago that people who can't afford to pay their doctors should barter with them instead. Folks dressed as giant chickens have been taunting her at campaign appearances ever since.

So now, Nevadans can't wear political buttons, shirts or hats — or their favorite chicken suits — when they go to vote on June 8. Thanks a lot, Sue Lowden!

We cats want to know what Rand Paul thinks about this. After all, Randy believes that the government has no right to forbid businesses from discriminating. So if you take that philosophy to its logical next step, how dare the government tell Americans they can't wear chicken costumes?

We may have to wait a long time for Randy's answer. He's canceled press appearances and says he's done with national interviews. Talk about a chicken!
