More idiocy from the land of fruits & nuts that only a Democrat would propose
Democrat State Senator Alan Lowenthal
In something so asinine that only a Democrat could come up with… Everybody has ordered out for food I assume? Well, you know those white styrofoam containers with three or four compartments for your food that darned near every restaurant has? Well, those containers are about to be banned. And yes, the genius behind the ban is a Democrat.
Is there anything left in that state to ban anymore? Plastic garbage bags are out, plastic grocery bags are out, plastic leaf bags are out, Happy Meals are out, fast food restaurants are out via zoning ordinances, bottled water is out, smoking is out, soda pop is out, looking at pretty girls is out, seriously. What’s left to ban?
SACRAMENTO – Restaurant owner Gary Honeycutt says a push in California’s Legislature to ban the plastic foam containers he uses to serve up takeout meals could cost him thousands of dollars in an industry where profit margins are razor thin.
BJ’s Kountry Kitchen, in the heart of California’s farm country, uses about 26,000 of the 9-inch foam clamshells a year, mostly for takeout by the customers who come in for the restaurant’s popular breakfast omelets.
“We put cheese on those omelets. And when we put the cheese on, it’s really hot and bubbly and it goes right through the biodegradable stuff,’’ he said. He said he expects his costs would more than double if the state requires him to use only biodegradable cartons.
The bill by state Senator Alan Lowenthal, a Democrat, would prohibit restaurants, grocery stores, and other vendors from dispensing food in expanded polystyrene containers beginning in 2016.
Leave it to the tree hugging, environmental zealots. Those kooks alone are responsible for a lot of the inflation we are seeing. They’re militant zealots that need to be pushed back in to the woodwork. They all suffer from a mental disorder.

67% Oppose Upcoming ‘Ban’ on Light Bulbs
One-in-five Americans (20%) say they or someone they know has bought large quantities of traditional light bulbs to use when those bulbs disappear off store shelves next year under new federal light bulb regulations.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 70% of Adults aren’t doing that themselves or don’t know anyone who is, but another 10% are not sure.
The new government regulations provide for the manufacture of similar-looking bulbs that will last longer and be more energy-efficient – but also more expensive. Critics view the regulations as unnecessary government intrusion in the free market and see them as effectively banning the kind of light bulb Americans have used for decades.
Just 20% of adults think the sale of traditional light bulbs should be banned (Marxist dopes). Sixty-seven percent (67%) oppose such a ban. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided.

Political Correctness Is Censorship, Nightclub Singer Arrested For Singing #1 Hit Song
This should be the “Asinine item of the day” that we publish Monday-Friday at 6:00 PM Central and Saturday at 1:00 PM Central, you will soon find out why. But, believe it or not, we actually have an item more asinine than this that we’ll be posting later today in that feature.
Imagine you’re a nightclub singer specializing in ’70′s Disco, you’re singing a song, a song that was a #1 hit in 1974, and two people, yes, that’s right. Two people get all pussy on you and are “offended” so they call the cops, they show up, and you’re busted for “suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.” How sick is that?
As unbelievable and ludicrous as this sounds, it actually happened. I can’t believe a cop would actually respond to a call like this, let alone make an arrest. Talk about chickenshit keystone kops hiding behind a plastic badge at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.
via the Daily Mail:
A pub singer has been arrested on suspicion of racism for singing the classic chart hit Kung Fu Fighting.
The song, performed by Simon Ledger, 34, is said to have offended two Chinese people as they walked past the pub where he was singing.
The entertainer regularly performs the 1974 number one, originally by disco star Carl Douglas, at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown, Isle of Wight.
But after one of the passers-by reported his routine on Sunday afternoon, Mr Ledger was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.
No, we aren’t quite as bad as the U.K., but this is the direction the PC crowd wants to take us. Make no mistake about it.
So… to those two that were “offended” I have to blow the dust off, and whip out the Carl Douglas classic from 1974, “Kung Fu Fighting.” Enjoy!
