I smell some really vile homophobia, sexism, and misogyny in the comments of Nashville Metro Councilman Michael Craddock. So, he's cool with *women* stripping nude for money in his city? God, grow the f*ck up. We wouldn't want a few bare wee-wees among the legions of bare hoo-hahs to threaten the patriarchy in Nashville now would we.
Also, I am both amused and dismayed to see someone misspelling "niche" as "nitch" in that article. That's a first.

I came in here to say everything George K. said. Glad to see someone else is amused by "nitch."

Strip club's attorney: "I'd say look at your history and bring it on" - now THAT'S an attorney, but immediately I'm picturing him as some greasy-haired Sporanos-via-Vegas guy in a colorful suit.

Nashville Metro Councilman Michael Craddock is a sexist arse wipe.

How did I miss the story about Nashville's strip club? Too funny! I am not sure that Nashville is ready for it but I hope it makes it. Having been born in Middle Tennessee I know first hand how backward it can be. I was very happy when we moved! However, my gay brother still lives in Nashville. I am sure that he will be pleased to not have to drive to Atlanta to go to Swinging Richards. LOL!
