I used to think the local officeholders in El Pueblo de Los Angeles were world-class idiots; the worst on Earth. This story from the New York Times, via Drudge, makes me realize LA isn't unique in its dysfunctional local government.
The New York City Council is contemplating making the word "bitch" illegal. City Councilmoron Darlene Mealy introduced the measure, saying it creates “a paradigm of shame and indignity” for all women. The dumb bitch didn't even print the word out in the language of the measure, referring to it as "the b-word." We'll just have to take the Times' word that "bitch" is actually the word that's being banned. Meanwhile, "bastard" remains a legal slur.
As one might expect, New Yorkers are roundly laughing the legislation off as funny, not to mention stupid and unenforceable (actually, sometimes they do mention it, in even more colorful terms).
Also included in the measure, is a ban on the word "ho." New York's children are going to bed in tears, realizing that Santa Claus will no longer be able to visit the city each Christmas. Perhaps Ms Mealy will have to ban the word "Grinch," as well.
Meanwhile, one must observe that, nowhere in the Times article, is Amendment the First, to the US Constitution mentioned. This measure is so clearly a violation of said Amendment, that both the Councilmoron and the Times writer, Michael M Grynbaum, must find their iq's in the lower double digits. Mr Grynbaum apparently hasn't yet had time to hobnob with the attorneys of ACLU, to whose members the First Amendment is the only Amendment.
I fear for the health of the Republic.

I wonder how they plan to enforce this amongst the African-American hip-hop 'artists' without shrieks (or bullets in their case) of racism in reply.
Councilwoman Mealy was on Hannity/Colmes last night. She backed off and started saying things like "guidelines" and "context."
She would not condemn another black NYC Councilman for saying (months ago) that he'd like to walk up to the first white man he sees and slap him. "It'd make me feel good." He said at the time.
Remember: a leftist black person will never condemn another leftist black person for anything he does or says. They just won't.
MK, yeah they won't want to give up their buzzwords for anybody.
Col, not to my own taste, but you see plenty of women on the road here with the sticker on their car "51% sweetheart, 49% bitch; don't push me"
I wonder if they'll get hauled in for using the b-word against themselves...LOL...I can just imagine the scratch fest that would result out of that!
I'm thinkin' you're being very generous giving a politician that high of an IQ. Just thinkin'.
