Why, oh why, is my state's government so inept?
New York politicians have decided to take "decisive action" in the wake of some high profile noose appearances. They want to "to make it a felony to etch, paint, draw or otherwise place or display a noose on public or private property." Have you ever heard of anything so dumb? Ever?
Yes, banning the drawing of nooses (even on private property) certainly does qualify as "decisive action." Whether it's a decisive in the direction of common sense is, alas, quite another question."Posted by Karol at October 23, 2007 01:01 AM | TrackBack

When was that suggestion floated, two, three hours ago?
The scary thing is that there are actually more idiotic members of the legislature.
