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.
