Ok, I actually laughed when I read this on Yahoo news because it was so ridiculous. Virginia's House of Delegates passed a bill on Tuesday that would allow people to be fined $50 if their underwear are showing -- like if their lowrise pants don't cover their underwear.

Now aside from the black humor aspects, what can we do?
Based on posts below, and in the text of the article, you'll see it's a Dem against Dem issue, although I do believe Republicans must support this. So the question is what should our response be?
I can't believe Republicans want the government to regulate something like this. Can we use this to point out to true conservatives that their once-dearly held belief in small government has gone to hell?
After all, isn't Virginia only slightly red? We could win them over with this couldn't we? Or at least make the dividing line between REAL Dems and Reps/Rep-lite Dems clearer: They want to run your life, we want to let you run your life." Might also bring some libertarians our way, too.
