Absurdity seems to define the Russian government. They claim this new ruling is due to the high accident rate, but this is not true.

According to the BBC one quarter of Russian men die before the age of 55 due to alcohol consumption. I imagine a lot of those deaths are in road accidents. But rather than state the truth they seem to enjoy blaming anyone in the LGBT community for the ills of their society. Putin is a sociopath bent on destroying all the progress that nation has made in the past few decades.

I was sitting in my office years ago and some of my co-workers were chatting about how ridiculous it would be if ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act)ever passed.

There was the inevitable: why some deviant might wear a dress to work!

I was busy and trying NOT to get into this until Lori (There a Lori in every office ) asked me what I thought of it.

I said, "That depends."

She asked me, "On what?"

"Whether the dress is tasteful and, his legs of course."
