Political Poo

Since we currently are being served up a nice steaming bowl from our friends in Washington DC, and in keeping with our scatological theme, I am introducing a new feature:   A place to take a tasty look at the most gut-twisting, the smelliest, the most misshaped Poo of all - Political Poo! 

This week is a struggle to chose a topic - it was between the multi-trillion dollar pile of Squirrel Dink known as the "Stimulus Package"(which is guaranteed to make retched our destiny),

   or the smoking ban in Belmont CA.

The Smoking Ban - only in CA could such a thing come down  - of course in the state which has criminal statues to punish builders of sub-standard dog-houses. The community of Belmont has banned smoking in their citizens HOMES.  But the softies gave them 14 months to move out if they don't like it.  

Big Mommy (the State)  has decided smoking is bad for you.  So even though it is legal, even though the government collects tax on the offending cigarettes - Don't you dare light up in your apartment! Eviction, fines and prison await those desperate criminals who defy the all powerful city council. 

Mark my words: Next they will be going after Bacon. I love bacon but I sadly concede no can make a case that it is good for you. And if it's not good, it's bad.  If it's bad, Mommy is going to forbid you to have it - You'll thank her for it someday. Oh, and we need another 2 million in funds to organize, train and equip the Bacon Police.  The Pork lobby is pissed, insisting that the Turkey lobby secretly backed the legislation...
