Envelope, please...

...and the stupidest statement (so far) this week by a politician is...   "I understand what they're trying to do, but when you start targeting a community like the homeless, I think that's poor policy," –[Houston, TX] council member Ada Edwards What was that? "The homeless" are a "community"? Pardonez moi, but as one who has had close contact with "the homeless" in various venues and locales, I can tell you (as can anyone else with more than ONE working brain cell can) that "the homeless" do not comprise a "community."   And why the bizarre statement about "targeting" so-called "homeless" folk?  Oh, that's rich.  The Houston City Council passed an ordinance designed to get bums to stop using public libraries as their own personal hostels--sleeping, eating, bathing, etc., in libraries. One provision that was apparently particularly offensive to moonbat Edwards was the provision against germ and gas warfare ummm, "offensive bodily hygiene that constitutes a nuisance to others."   What? Sleep, eat, bathe and remove your stench before hauling your bum butt into the library?  How dreadful!  What ever in the world was the Houston City Council thinking!   (Thx to Kris of Anywhere But Here for the link)
