BROOKSVILLE, FLA -

Marilyn Incigeri, who lives at 843 Easy Street, Brooksville, FLA has been walking around naked. Neighbors reported to local police that she was standing around on her back porch totally naked, and even walked out to her mailbox topless. Clearly Marilyn is simply a fun loving, uninhibited person, and once upon a time in Brooksville a middle aged black woman parading around with no clothes would not have ruffled a single feather. Nowadays, however, Brooksville is trying to clean up it's act, so the town police arrested Marilyn.

The town of Brooksville is about 50 miles north of Tampa. Brooksville is a small town, about 8,000 residents or so, with a rich history. The town got it's start back in the 1840s as a military encampment during the First Seminole War. (The Indians won that war). That explains why, in 2009, 8,000 people live in a field out in the Middle of Nowhere, Central Florida. That's the best explanation I can come up with, anyway. 

Back in the day, Brooksville had a reputation as "a place where a meth lab explodes every couple of weeks". Nowadays, with the manufacturing of crystal meth mostly outsourced to Mexico, you don't hear too much about the award winning town ("Best Rural Town in Florida, 2000"). This past week, however, the little town is back in the news, an inevitable fate as the town continues the struggle to civilize a patch of hot, dry, barren wasteland full of exotic disease ridden bugs and rattlesnakes.

The town's government has decided to start at home with civilization efforts, putting policies in place to control how town employees dress and act.  The most controversial: Brooksville employees must wear underwear while working. 

No doubt about it, folks, Brooksville is clearly deteriorating into some sort of Waco-like crazy police state. The town government is wielding their power like bezerk Nazis. The new town policy also requires employees to observe "strict personal hygiene". Employees of the town MUST wear deodorant under the new regime's rules. Furthermore, all employees are required to "cover cuts and wounds" on their bodies. And perhaps the most ironic: no clothes with pictures of naked people.

Brooksville Mayor Joe Bernadini, who is scheduled to be the victim of a public stoning on the Fourth of July, is against the new rules. "I think in a way it takes away freedom of choice," said the mayor, who likes to come to work in his pajamas and owns "maybe two pairs of underwear, max".
