What's even more amusing though is the lack of skepticism given to this story by our liberal posters here. Seems they're taking it for all it's worth and running with it. It would be nice if the same degree of skepticism was applied to these types of stories as they apply to anything Bush related. But I guess that just wouldn't be as sexy.

Well you don't have to believe the woman to be alarmed by what the sheriff himself is quoted as saying. The law exists, and he "avoids hiring" people who violate it.
And what the sheriff is saying is actually fairly innocuous compared to Rick Santorum's comments (and those of many other social conservatives) in response to the Lawrence v. Texas decision.
Re: blue laws in general, there are 14 states that prohibit the sale of vibrators, and Texas, Georgia, and Alabama still actually prosecute people for buying vibrators. And it's also mainly the bible belt states that enforce sabbath restrictions.
Ironically enough, blue law enforcement seems to be a phenomenon of red states.
