The Law of the Land in La La Land

Craig Andresen  with a Hat tip to Guardian Eagles

This is the time of the year when states…all of them…introduce new legislative proposals, hoping, often times beyond hope, that such proposals will, indeed, become the laws of their respective states.Some of the new proposals make sense, but, a vast majority are just plain stupid.When it comes to stupid…You can’t fix it, but you can sure find it in California. Yes…that bastion of left coast liberalism, California, is perhaps the nation’s leader in butt-stupid laws every year, and this year is certainly no exception. Before we get into what may well be this year’s bone-crushingly stupid law proposals from the land of fruits, nuts and flakes…perhaps we should first have a look at what they’re trying to top. 

"Liberals in California took on one of the most flagrant abuses of…something…known to man, and a situation that absolutely screamed out for government intervention. Bovine flatulence.It seems that dairy farmers in California were letting their happy cows get away with…farting…and it had to stop.Lacking the incentive, dairy farmers did nothing on their own to plug the problem…so…the government stepped in and laid down the law.Never mind that 53 California dairy farmers went hooves up, going bankrupt, shutting down or MOOving to more fart-friendly states…California’s anti-fart laws are still on the books." . . .

Drinking straws -this terrorism must stop!

"Under the proposal, any waiter who serves a drink with an unrequested straw in it would face up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. That’s not an “either or” thing…that’s BOTH…a $1000 fine AND 6 months behind bars."According to Calderon…”We need to create awareness around the issue of one-time use plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans.”"One might think that Calderon might be alone on his island of straws, but this is California we’re talking about…and he’s not. It seems that there are several cities in the state of fart-free cows that have already enacted “straws by request” laws, and not to be left out of this leftist plot to fine and jail waiters and waitresses, the L.A. Times has penned an Op-Ed in its favor…stating that aside from landfill issues…and I’m NOT making this up…”repetitive sucking may cause or exacerbate wrinkles on the lips or around the mouth.”Isn’t that exactly why God invented Botox?

 . . . one has to suspect that, should this become law, thousands of undercover California Bureau of Investigation agents will be employed to order drinks all over California, every day, for the expressed purpose of sending hapless waiters and waitresses to prison, to sit there on the “Group W Bench” with all the mother rapers. father stabbers, and father rapers!

TD: They won't need to; California has an abundance of SJW's who love doing all this on their own:
