This man. The one pictured right here. He is a known booger eater. Because of him we’re inciting a riot, encouraging annoyance and alarm. Get to it! Go start fights in Hoffman’s name.
As David Adams reports, Rep. Charlie Hoffman (D-Waste of Time) is pushing worthless legislation that would prohibit online communication that causes “annoyance or alarm” and serves no legitimate purpose.
Like David says, telling the peeps on that scary internets about Charlie Hoffman and his booger eating ways could land a blogger in jail for up to 90 days. A second offense carries up to a year in jail as punishment.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. Let’s stifle free speech because a few booger eaters in Frankfort can’t handle criticism. We’re not suggesting that people go crazy by publishing defaming and false material, but come on. What century is this?
Charlie Hoffman. Time and money waster. Another Democrat deserving of a primary opponent.

A federal law enacted as part of legislation designed to protect womens rights includes very similar language.
It was intended to prevent harassment via email but is not limited to email.
In fact, it is a federal crime to engage in conduct nearly identical to that described in Hoffman’s proposal.

For a discussion of the federal law, take a look at this blog article:

I’m just looking at the way the Kentucky law is written. It’s terms are too broad to fit the internet. If what Hoffman wants to do is protect people from emotional distress inflicted by internet-based ne’er-do-wells, he should start over with a new bill rather than just slap the word “internet” on the old harassment law.

Actually, the only Kentuckian I’ve ever seen eat a booger is Patrick Patterson.
And he’s from West Virginia, so he doesn’t really count even if it did say “Kentucky” across his chest when he ate it.
(Go look on YouTube for “UK player eats booger” if you don’t believe this.)

So what you are really saying, 7:36, is you have never seen a Kentuckian eat a booger, right?
You might want to quit wasting your time on youtube and go talk free speech rights with Charlie Hoffman at the Kroger in Georgetown.

This whole booger thing has made my entire week. Nothing better than this.

I propose a Hoffman-booger alliance among the KY blogosphere.

Hahahahahahahaha! I posted it on my blog. You just cannot make this S**T UP! Our petty, self absorbed legislators need to get a grip. Talk about an embarrassment of (moronic) riches!

OMG…this is beautiful. Just beautiful. Thank you for the best laugh I’ve had in a long time!!

You guys probably shouldn’t be encouraging me like this, but I appreciate it. Next week while you are checking up on Page One, please come by the Bluegrass Policy Blog for more fun and arguments.

I’m not EVEN going to try to defend Charlie’s proposed legislation on this one. But…
Charlie became part of the House leadership committee last year. That coincidentally was about the time the House actually started functioning as a legislative body with some iron, instead of being David Williams’ punching bag. He’s due credit for that.
But Charlie’s also done some really good things for progressive issues and for progressive candidates. He personally pounded the pavement for Sannie Overly the past two weeks, for example.
And who amongst us hasn’t eaten the occasional greenie?

Sam– Great points. Just. The hilarity of it all is so great that. Well. How could a person not laugh at this?
I’m sure we’ll all recognize the good things Hoffman has done. Just not for a few days. Ha.

Big question: What wine goes well with snot?

Hey, you all better get ready for a “new” clown on the block, especially if Marvin Wilson aka “Alfred E. Neuman”, is able to steal the election in the 6th House District(J.R. Gray’s old seat!)
J.R. beat this “clown” twice and the Rethugaloons just had to bring him back up to the surface again……….I guess they think, “3rd time is charm” mentality!
But, when you have brain-dead moron’s like Russ Randall running the show, who else would have expected anything less!
Add “Starvin’” Marvin to the list of “Booger” eaters!!!

Please keep outing the Booger Eaters. I know it could become a full-time job during this session, but it is truly a public service when you shine light on the Booger Eaters. Don’t let them sit in the dark corners anonymously eating their boogers.
