Bottles

Never let it be said the DFL isn’t on top of the important issues.

Democrats have introduced a bill in the Minnesota Legislature that would ban the sale of bottled water in the state.

Introduced earlier this month by Rep. Sydney Jordan, a Democrat from Minneapolis, the bill would prohibit manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers from “selling or offering for sale bottled water in Minnesota.”

The bill defines bottled water as “water contained in a formed or molded container” that is “comprised primarily of plastic resin, sealed, and holds less than two liters when full.”

They’re not on top of them.

But the powers that be will never let it be said.

    We haven’t even gotten to the end of the session yet and already every single stupid notion that might be part of some progressive’s wet dream is being acted on affirmatively. It might be humorous in a gallows-humor sort of way to make a dead pool-like competition for insane ideas. Like, say, a law making it illegal for white people to teach in predominately non-white schools. Unless their hair is dyed blue.

    Btw, I don’t remember this post from yesterday. Comments that get nailed by Akismet, but posts too?

    OK, we ban bottled water, and thus everybody’s going to be back to where we were in the 1970s–using a water fountain and praying that the bums we saw using them before us didn’t lick the nozzle and transmit God knows what to us.

    One would think that even liberals would figure out that dysentery, cholera, and STDs coming through our water supply would be a bad thing, but apparently not. Reducing greenhouse emissions and petroleum use by a tiny amount is more important than infectuous diseases on their planet.
