More Yickiness

Over on Governing's home page, Otis White writes about how San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders killed an idea to treat and re-treat wastewater so that it would be fit for human consumption. The idea was just too nasty.

Which brings me to this story. The 81-year-old father of U.S. Senator Norm Coleman has been cited for engaging in a "sex act" with a 38-year-old woman -- not his wife -- in a pizzeria parking lot.

Admittedly, there's no real state or local government angle to this, although Coleman of course was formerly mayor of St. Paul. But it's just so disturbing that I wanted to share.
