Horny Growthophobes Rank 5th
January 6, 2008 
A GUARDIAN reader with too much time on his hands asks why we haven’t had any comments from Team Dave or the mainstream media folks about the recent FORBES MAGAZINE ranking of Boise, that’s right BOISE, as one of the top five most lustful cities in America.
Regular readers know we don’t put much stock in these lists, but coming from the respected national business publication, we think it is worth noting. The ranking is based on sale/purchase of condoms and female contraceptives.
Perhaps it is all influenced by the legislature and the “family values” people. Apparently there are a fair number of people who want to play, but they don’t want to pay. Put another way, no lawmaker is going to spoil their fun and they may be closet GROWTHOPHOBES who wish not to increase the population of our valley.

Well that might prove that the younger set is smarter than the older set, or are there numbers available for the ages of the contraceptive buyers?
Lustful – that sounds like a good list to be on. It sure beats out the “illegitimate Children” list. Or the STD list.

For some reason they combined Salt Lake City and Boise into a single area. That area ranked #5.
EDITOR NOTE–Actually we tied, but SLC could have a higher failure rate.

You can bet Channel 7 will never touch this one.
On the other hand, if you can get Natalie Hurst on point to interview the Mayor about this topic it would make my day.

Imagine if there were a morning after pill for political hose jobs by governmental agencies. We would be pretty high on that list as well.

The numbers of condoms used are wrong. We actually use them to cover the muzzles of our rifles. (it keeps them clean between shootings)

I’ll be. I was right for only 4 1/2 hours.
I’d still rather have Natalie from Channel 2 on this story.

Maybe the folks just want to be safe because they know the local politcos have been known to roam the streets after dark.

“Wide Stance” you Think, retired mayor, keep us guessing.
