Hypocrisy: Barring the Opening of a New Strip Club, Here, in a City That Permits Restaurants to Serve Sushi Off the Bodies of Nude Women

Once upon a time, Bob Davis, an ex-comedy club owner whom I have known for many years, crumbled under Satan's power and decided to try to open an adult entertainment venue in downtown Seattle, but the city wouldn't let him.

License denied.

In March 2004, Davis challenged the city's policy and recently a judge decided that the city's action of repeatedly extending the ban on new strip clubs lacked merit and deemed it an 'unconstitutional restraint on free speech.'

Wow.

So now, not only may Bob Davis open a new adult entertainment venue in the Seattle city limits, but the city, caught with its legal briefs down, may have to fork over $5 million to Bob Davis for its unlawful restriction.

Ouch. Five MILLION dollars.

Do you have any idea how many lap dances you can buy for $5 million?

If Bob Davis triumphs over the city in his lawsuit, I think he should get 250,000 $20 bills directly deposited into the waistband of his underwear.

She's my favorite columnist, not just because of that column, but also because she once taunted police officers -- who showed up well after she called them and the crack dealer conducting business outside her apartment window had gone -- with "Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha' gonna' do? Whatcha' gonna do 40 minutes after I've called you."
