Evil Toys and Big Government

Happy Meals.  Come with toys.  Little kids love them.  Parents use them as rewards sometimes, or a treat for their kids.

But ... we can't have that.

The newscaster asked "is this another example of Big Government telling us what we can and can't do?"

Ummmmm  .... let me think here for a second, because that's a toughie.

At any rate ... I think maybe we should change the wording. It is an example of a special interest group (the food cops -- often fronts for animal rights groups) trying to use the coercive power of the Government to force us do do or not do what they want us to do  .... or not do.

And we have gotten away from a government that gives them a big "hell no" when they try.

Overheard on the News

On the local news this morning:

"The new law would make it a crime to be in the United States illegally."

All I could do was look at the television and do a John Stewart blink.

Because ... you know ... as it stands .... it's not a crime to be in the United States ... illegally.

Riiiiiiiight.
