Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Feb 24
You tag it, you buy it

HB1440 submitted by Rep. Dwayne Bohac (kinda cute if you go for dorky-looking conservatives) will make graffiti artists purchase replacements for the property they damaged by their tags/art/whatever you wanna call it.

"Graffiti begins with something as simple as writing on the bathroom wall and grows until it pulls an entire community into the toilet," Bohac said.(AP Wire, Herald-Democrat)
We like graffiti, especially those signs that have been changed to say STOP "Bush", or walls sprayed with "uniniversal health care". We prefer our graffiti with a message, and we don't really think it itself can be blamed for the downfall of our urban communities.

Anyway, isn't re-naming the capitol drive and Highway 290 after certain Republican presidents a kind of graffiti? And we'd all be paying for those . . .Just something to think on, Mr. Bohac.
