If you don't wear clothes, do you still have to irony?

TOPEKA, Kan. - Kansas Libertarians were stopped from holding a fundraiser at a nudist camp in southwest Shawnee County, when sheriff's deputies blocked people from entering.

Shawnee County deputies said they were merely enforcing a court order when they stopped people from accessing Lake Edun on Friday. Last year, Shawnee County District Judge Terry Bullock issued a court order banning "commercial or recreational activities" on the property unless the owners get a permit for such events - something the county refuses to provide.

It would be tough to find a way to make Libertarians' points about private property rights better than to Catch-22 their political fundraisers under zoning laws. You must have a permit to meet, but we won't issue you one. Come back when we're not here and we'll be happy to see that you get one.
