Dispatches from Nancy Pelosiville

And I quote: "Many people in my district can't believe we are spending so much time talking about plastic bags." - San Francisco District 4 Supervisor Ed Jew.

This pretty much encapsulates the absurdity of what's described in this story http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/23/BAG9AOQFP81.DTL&hw=plastic+bags&sn=002&sc=723 -- San Francisco, in its eminent nanny wisdom, is busying itself with a monumental problem: plastic grocery bags. They've sounded the claxon over this other looming environmental catastrophe with a "grocery bag ordinance."

Read this. It will make you laugh.

At least paper bags are/were biodegradable, these plastic things never should have entered the marketplace, but they have, now let the stores or garbage comany, or the city jails (my personal choice) walk around and pick up the errant plastic bags. Won't anyone stop the governments from becoming anymore nanny-ish then they already are.
