A not-so-great update.

Well, this sucks.
I posted a while back on the horrific law in Black Jack, St. Louis that prohibits more than three people from living together unless they are related by “blood, marriage or adoption.� While the town’s planning and zoning commission reviewed and then requested a change in the law, the measure was rejected on Tuesday by the city council in a 5-3 vote.
The mayor then declared that the city will be beginning to evict people who do not hold Black Jack’s definition of “family� this week.
The saddest part about the rejected measure is that it was only going to change the existing law slightly (but for a significant amount of people, I don’t doubt) to just include the definition of a family as “unmarried couples with two or more children.� Others still would’ve been out on their asses!
So I’ve decided that I’m leaving my home here in NYC to open a brothel in Black Jack, even if it’s just long enough to create some hysteria. Anyone in?
