The Center for Arizona Policy would like anyone running for a seat at the Legislature to give their opinions on professionals like these.
For some reason, lobbyists at the Center for Arizona Policy would like anyone running for a seat in the Legislature this year to tell the group whether they support banning the "touching or tipping" of strippers.

The surveys, which usually are a good indication of the CAP morality cops' agenda for the next legislative session, are updated every two years.

In 2010, one of the questions on the survey asked whether the candidate supported or opposed "[r]egulating sexually oriented businesses to the fullest extent possible under the law."

Rep. Steve Court Proposes Alcohol Ban at Strip Clubs, Plus Other Changes to Adult Businesses

Categories: Only a Bill, Sex

State Rep. Steve Court, R-Mesa, introduced a bill today that proposes a ban on alcohol sales and consumption at strip clubs and other adult businesses.

No happy hours at topless clubs for you -- not if State Rep. Steve Court, R-Mesa, has his way.

Court, the Legislature's majority leader, introduced a bill today that targets strip clubs and other adult-oriented businesses with a ban on alcohol and private rooms. The proposed law also aims to regulate the size of stages, redefine the terms "nude" and "seminude," and forces other changes for adult establishments.

Court tells New Times the idea for the bill was brought to him by groups interested in "maintaining decency in the community."

The Center for Arizona Policy, which often lobbies on religious or anti-abortion matters, was one of those groups, he says.

The bill hasn't been assigned to a committee yet, and Court isn't sure how much support it might have.

"This is kind of our first pass at this," he says. "We'll see how it goes."

Herman Cain Claims He Doesn't Remember Ever Meeting Sharon Bialek; Blames "False Allegations" on "Democrat Machine"

Herman Cain says he doesn't remember ever meeting his latest accuser, Sharon Bialek.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain met with reporters at a Scottsdale hotel this afternoon to address the most-recent sexual harassment allegations against him. According to Cain, he has no recollection of ever meeting his latest accuser, Sharon Bialek, and blames the "democrat machine" for putting Bialek -- and three other women -- up to falsely accusing him of sexual harassment. 

"I tried to remember if I recognized her, and I didn't. I tried to remember if I remembered [her] name, and I didn't," Cain told reporters. "The charges and accusations are absolutely reject -- they simply didn't happen. They simply did not happen."

Bialek is the fourth woman to accuse Cain of sexual harassment. She claims Cain got a little grabby after the two had dinner together in 1997 -- she says Cain put his hand up her skirt and pushed her head towards his crotch. More on that here.

"The fact is, these anonymous allegations are false. And now the Democrat machine in America has brought forth a troubled woman to make false allegations -- statements -- many of which exceed common sense, and they certainly exceed the standards of decency in America."

Herman Cain's latest accuser, Sharon Bialek (right), and her headline-hungry attorney, Gloria Allred.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain remains on the attack when it comes to Sharon Bialek, the latest woman to accuse the former Godfather's Pizza CEO of sexual harassment.

Cain plans to address the allegations this afternoon at a press conference at a Scottsdale hotel, but apparently couldn't wait until then to further bash his accuser.

"The fact is that Ms. Bialek has had a long and troubled history," Cain's campaign says, "from the courts to personal finances - which may help explain why she has come forward 14 years after an alleged incident with Mr. Cain, powered by celebrity attorney and long term Democrat donor Gloria Allred."

Bialek has accused the presidential candidate of sexually harassing her after the two had dinner together in 1997. She claims Cain put his hand up her skirt and pushed her head towards his crotch. More on that here.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain claims that the most-recent allegations of sexual harassment against him could be the result of a cash-strapped woman and her left-wing "activist" attorney, Gloria Allred.

Cain's campaign just issued a press release addressing the new allegations. In addition to the jabs at Allred and his newest accuser, Sharon Bialek, the former pizza baron says he'll hold a press conference tomorrow in Phoenix to further address the allegations.

Bialek, earlier today -- flanked by her headline-hound attorney, Allred -- accused the presidential candidate of sexually harassing her after the two had dinner together in 1997. She claims Cain put his hand up her skirt and pushed her head towards his crotch. More on that here.

"Exhilarating." "Posh." Those are both words used to describe Phoenix's dating scene by Rent.com, which recently released its 2011 rankings of the top-10 cities for single women.

In fact, Phoenix's "posh" dating scene, the website determined, earned the city the top spot on the list.

Rent.com, apparently, never traveled west of Phoenix's Central Avenue.

Underage Sex Trafficking Not as Popular as Ashton Kutcher Wants You to Believe

Ashton Kutcher's trying to Punk the world into thinking up to 300,000 underage kids become prostitutes every year.
If you're buying into Ashton Kutcher's  media blitz about underage sex trafficking, and think 100,000 to 300,000 children in America become prostitutes every year, you've been Punk'd.

Kutcher's stats are way off -- which he'd know if he did a little research before taking up a cause and blindly throwing around a number based on a rough estimation of how many kids are at risk for prostitution.

Village Voice Media actually researched the subject, and while underage sex trafficking is certainly a problem, it's not nearly as dire as Kutcher would have you believe.

Scottsdale MILF Starts Social-Networking Site for "Cougars" Seeking "Cubs"

"Cougars" are on the prowl for some fresh-faced "cubs," and a Scottsdale woman is working hard to bring them together.

Shelli Netko, 48, probably is one of Scottsdale's more creative "cougars" and is using the Internet to make "the hunt" for "cubs" (a.k.a. younger dudes) a little easier.

Last month, Netko launched the Web site Cougarsandco.com, designed to bring "cougars" together with their prey for a variety of different social events.

Netko tells New Times that Cougars & Co. isn't like your standard dating Web site, such as Match.com, where people are matched based on a compatibility scale. Cougars & Co. is more like a social-networking forum like Facebook, where users with a common interest meet and organize events.

"We host social events for our 'cougars' and 'cubs,'" she says, "whatever happens, happens."

Welcome to Arizona, the sex-rehab capitol of the world.

Jesse James, the bad-boy biker husband of Sandra Bullock, has reportedly checked into a sex-rehab center near Tucson after Bullock was blindsided with the news that James was having sex with the inked up, Nazi-sympathizing tattoo artist, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, while Bullock was filming the movie The Blind Side.  


Bullock won the Academy Award for her role in the flick, and in a tragic case of irony, used her acceptance speech to thank her wonderful husband just days before the news of his wayward wiener broke.


The Sierra Tucson rehab facility didn't immediately return our call this morning but confirms to TMZ that James has checked into the facility.
