Harry Baals No More

At dinner last night with a couple of friends, I was informed of a very interesting debate recently quelled in the state of Indiana. I have been so preoccupied with New York Fashion Week and Glenn Beck’s numbskullness that I completely neglected to stay up to date with all the other frivolous news circling the nation. Enter Harry Baals. Yes, ladies and gentleman, Harry Baals, pronounced “Balls”, served as the mayor of Fort Worth, Indiana for terms in the 1930′s and 1950′s, and Indianan officials were pushing for a government center named in his honor. Unfortunately for everyone, The Harry Baals Government Center is a no go because it was simply deemed too hilarious to withstand. It’s really too bad though. Harry Baals would have had a comfortable place in history right next to current Speaker of the House, John Boehner, who apparently thinks this nation is comprised of 300 million idiots who actually believe him when he insists his name is pronounced “Bayner”, and not “Boner”.
