Strickland refuses to sign strip bill

Good for him! Yes, he should have vetoed it as unconstitutional, but there was a veto-proof majority, and you pick your battles. It's the legislature that lacked guts:

The Legislature took up the bill after a group called Citizens for Community Values collected enough signatures to require lawmakers to consider it. If the Legislature had failed to act or passed a bill that did not satisfy the Cincinnati-based group, their members could have collected more signatures to put it before voters in November.
I'd have been for making them collect the umpteen thousand signatures and letting the voters have their say. I really don't think that your average citizen has the hardon about strip clubs that this pervert does.

Bad news for DMC visitors. I guess we can travel to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side to enjoy some sinful dancing.

What's next for the Citizens for Community Values? Ban drinking? No violence on TV? No more rated-R movies? No adult movie rentals in hotels?

Six feet...how about keeping the dancers on stage and install some clear plastic enclosure separating the customers? Or what if you play a download stream of a stripper doing a lap dance on your computer? That's less than six feet. =)
