gives a 'four-letter word' a whole new meaning.
newtimesbpb.com | Prostrate Loyalty | 2005-01-27: "So when North Palm Beach lawyer Thomas Dougherty tried on December 13 to register the company name To Hell With Bush Inc. with the State of Florida, it didn't surprise him that Hood's flunkies denied his request a day later. 'As you could probably gather, I'm not a big Bush supporter,' says Dougherty, who planned to use the company to start an anti-Bush website. 'So I wasn't shocked they would try something like this.'
Hood's office claimed the name was 'slanderous or immoral.' Hood spokeswoman Jenny Nash says the decision is not about politics. 'It could have said To Hell With Jane Doe and we wouldn't have registered it,' she told Tailpipe.
But a quick search of company names approved by Hood's office shows that, as the 'Pipe has observed, morality is often in the eye of the beholder. How about Damn Inc., Screw Co., and TITS Inc.? How did they pass muster in the era of state-sanctioned evangelism? Then there're the rivals Boobs Inc. and Boobs of Florida Inc. (soon to appear on a resurrection of CNN's Crossfire). There's also ASS Inc. and, from Ocala, the questionably spelled Pusy Inc. Maybe most startling of all: a pair of companies out of Orlando named Friggin Inc. and Balls on Your Forehead Inc. Those were founded by DJ Robert 'Taco Bob' Miller, who thinks he got one by Hood and her flunkies. "
