Ah, Florida, land of the interminable slapstick politics. Instead of talking about a Florida primary revote or the housing market crisis, lawmakers in the state’s government discussed replica bull testicles.
You know, the ones some people have turned into interesting car ornaments. In case you don’t know a picture is below. The rest on this enlightening debate is after the jump.

Senator Carey Baker from the state Senate wanted to enact a law making drivers who use the decorative danglers subject to a $60 fine. In essence he was challenging the size of the driver’s REAL ones.
The subject was debated but not decided on just yet. There are actually Senators standing up for the right of drivers to expose bull testicles, cause, you know, the first amendment clearly guarantees the right to “bear balls”.
Fully funny but serious article HERE.
Honestly, I don’t care if I never see another set of bull testes in my life when I’m driving down the road. They always make me cringe and I can see how parents wouldn’t want their children seeing them on their way to school or wherever.
It also reminds me of why I am so very happy I don’t have kids because shielding them from stuff gets harder as more people feel the need to be expressive and free.
It makes me crack up that a pair of fake swinging nuts evokes some sort of masculine confidence in the drivers of these vehicles. A law banning their chromed out accessories would probably cause an uproar potentially greater than reactions given for more substantive issues.
Obama was wrong, voters don’t cling to their guns and religion, they cling to their cattle testes.
You know what they say: Whatever tickles your pickle.
Apart from being symbolic of insecurity and crudeness, bull testes have got to go simply because they just don’t make any sense.
United States of Tara said it best: “Truck nuts, I don’t get it. Does the truck have a dick or is the truck the dick? If the truck’s the dick, the balls are too small.”

You don’t like it? Oh, well, then of course it should be illegal…
