Out, Out, darned snowflake

As the political season heats up, I feel compelled to at least weigh in or certain issues of the day. I will endeavor to be short and entertaining, and promise to get back to the geese and other issues after November.

Last night I heard two very interesting pieces on the news. The first is that there is a new law in New Jersey, courtesy of that failed governor, that it is now illegal to drive with snow on your car. The blurb on the news did not indicate how much snow shall constitute a violation, and knowing the past history about giving New Jersey cops discretion ( pulling over people because they are black) i shudder to think of how this will play out. I can see it now, 50 cars lined up just past the state line on the Palisades Parkway with a bit of snow caught in the groove where the wipers sit. Or hour long backups on the new Jersey bound bridges and tunnels because Fort Lee or Hoboken have to close their budget, and they are pulling over everyone coming over the bridge or out of the tunnel.

Way to go Corzine, keep it up, and you won't be able to get elected to a school board.


The second item is an interview that is being promoted on WCBS with some Israeli author who is touting the wonderful advantages of the Israeli health care system. Now anyone who has ever had to deal with the Israeli health care system knows what an absolute disaster it is. I am convinced that if airfare was around $300 instead of $1,000, every kid in Israel with even the sniffles would come home to be treated.

However, in the days King Obama, I am not surprised that a "news" outlet with a clear liberal bent in its language and reporting like WCBS is pushing this. I am just surprised that WINS hasn't gotten a hold of this yet.

If you value your liberties folks, speak up now or all will be lost.

People who are too lazy to properly clean their cars, so that the rest of us get a windshield full of snow as we drive down the highway, deserve to be stopped by the police. (they should be made to clean off the 8 inches from the top of their cars right then and there with their bare hands!!!)

As for the rest of the post...I'm not even going to bother.

FBB - too lazy?

You have no idea how much work it takes to dig out of 8 inches of snow and then to have to clean off every spec from your car is almost impossible, especially if you have a mini van (as I do) or an SUV. This is like maing it illegal to walk on the street if you have a cold because you might sneeze on someone. There is very little as frightening as having a big block of snow come flying at you while driving, granted, but it is jus as frightening to drive through a blizzard, will that be outlawed next?
