It’s no shock to anyone who reads NRO that I’m a fan of Bill Pryor, as are many in these parts. But forget everything I’ve ever said about him. Forget everything you know about him (unless you’re repulsed by what I am about to reveal–if you are, forget it and admire him for standing firm and doing his duty, etc.).
The news? In a recent Eleventh Circuit decision he cites an ’80s band.
From Zibtluda, Inc. v. Gwinnet County (bold is mine):
The 2001 Ordinance regulates comprehensively the operation of adult entertainment businesses in Gwinnett County. Establishments governed by the 2001 Ordinance include those where persons perform either fully or partially nude; where more than ten feet of floor space or five percent of net sales are derived from the sale of adult magazines, books, or movies; and adult movie theaters, minitheaters, video stores, arcades, hotels, and motels. 2001 Ordinance § 86-71. The 2001 Ordinance, in other words, regulates commercial entertainment akin to the “Huggin’ and a kissin’, dancin’ and a lovin’, wearin’ next to nothing” that the B- 52s famously described as occurring in a “funky old shack.” The B-52s, Love Shack, on Cosmic Thing (Reprise Records 1989).
Gotta love that “extremist.”
