More Reasons Not To Visit New Jersey

The Lord of Truth tells me why I should avoid Cape May this summer...

Speedo wearers are now welcome in Cape May.

For more than 30 years, the quaint little Victorian-themed resort said no to "skin tight, formfitting or bikini type" bathing attire on males older than 12. City officials voted last week to eliminate the ban, saying it made sense to modernize the rules.

The ban was initially enacted in response to complaints about gay men who wore the suits on the beach. Even though the ban was rarely -- if ever -- enforced, there was no push to eliminate it.

City officials also overturned a longtime requirement that men wear shirts on the promenade.

On the speedo thing, the Lord points out this means more European visitors. Look, it's never a good thing to encourage the French to come over. And instead of overturning that last law about the shirts, they should actually enact it across the rest of New Jersey. That would be a better use of the state legislature's time than arguing about whether the tomato is a fruit or a vegetable.
