California driving is about to get doubleplus safe


Limiting cell phone usage is a common goal of many legislatures, but California's lawmakers want to up the ante, adding more than that to the list of what motorists can and can't do behind the wheel.

A bill passed by the California state Senate would subject drivers who:

  • talk on the phone

  • put on makeup
  • drink
  • eat
  • smoke
  • interact with pets or kids
  • read
  • write
  • tune the radio or
  • program hand-held devices like Blackberries to:

    fines of $35 for the first offense and $150 for the second.

Aw, fuck you.

Oops, sorry, I forgot this is a family blog.

But, just for this one post, consider that the sponsor of this bill is Kevin Murray, who was supposedly caught getting a BJ in a state-owned car. The car was, however, not in motion.

Damn the legislature for they shall outlaw breathing given time enough.

But getting a blow job while at work sounds like something worth applause.

Now I'm torn. So like Clinton, so voting for a bill that everyone knows will never pass.
