20 LA banned both plastic and paper bags the other day. Idea is to force people to use reusable bags. Eco-nazis say it's a "myth" that the reusable bags are unsanitary even though studies show they quickly become infested with e.coli. Eco high priests say just use common sense and: 1) Use separate bags for fresh fruit, dairy, and meat products. 2) Regularly wash your bags. 3) Don't store your bags in a warm or moist environment. Great, so now my health is dependent on every single person who visits my grocery store being ultra-clean and responsible. Good thing nobody will buy their reusable bags and 1) never wash them 2) keep them in the warm, moist trunk of their car and 3) respond to spills of milk or a squished tomato or some raw meat juice seeping into the bag, by just shaking the bag until they can't see any visible meat juice and stuffing it back into their trunk. Fuckin awesome. I'm sure the Mexican construction worker guys who shop in LA are gonna spend several hours a week on the care of their fucking reusable grocery bag. Fucking nazis. Doesn't California have anything better to do with its fucking time? Fuck.

It's not that Leslie Stahl and the rest of her cohort is on "the other side", but the whole idea of treating these people harshly makes her feel "icky". It upsets her sensibilities.

War is harsh business, very harsh. We think we have taken the harsh stuff out with precision munitions that reduce "collateral damage". But that is science fiction.

As Clint said in "The Unforgiven", "It's a terrible thing to kill a man. It takes away all he was and all he ever will be."

Leslie and the adult children with whom she runs with forget just how harsh things are sometimes. They forget the mass murders that took place in Iraq before Saddam was deposed. They forget the harsh killing of Afghans when the Russians tried to subdue the country in the '80's (and it was nothing like that stupid movie "Charlie Wilson's War").

They forget how cruel the Taliban were as they settled the end of the Afghan Civil War which took place after the Soviets left. Shooting someone in the head because the violated a harsh version of Sharia law.

But being harsh with a bunch of international terrorists that were involved in murdering 3000 Americans and assorted other nationalities on Sept 11, 2001 makes Leslie Stahl feel "icky" Because she is the end product of 240 years of a Constitutional Republic that valued the rule of law over the rule of the jungle and harsh government autocratic power. She and her tribe believe that "lawfare" is going to tame the savages that rampage about in the Muddled East and elsewhere in the name of the Prophet Mohammed, trying to do again what they have done for over 1400 years. Spread Islam at the point of the sword or the barrel of a gun - a bunch of gangsters on Razza. But Leslie Stahl and lawfare are going to fix that.

Right.

I'm sad that Leslie Stahl is made to feel icky about how some people feel we should wage a limited war against Salafist Islam, but after writing this little rant, I really don't feel much about Leslie Stahl or the rest of her limp-wristed pillow - biter friends. I really don't care much about what she thinks at all, because franky, I don't think she really thinks. At all.

It isn't just Kalifornia. Brownsville, TX. already passed a ban and Austin is heading that way.

Believe it or not, if all Texas went plastic bag free, it would cost about 9000 jobs.

If I have it right, Austin's plan would still allow paper bags but with a fee. I'm guessing this is going to wind up as just another tax.

LOL. It was a myth that got the whole BAN PLASTIC BAGS BECAUSE THEY STRANGLE FISHIES started in the first place. Like the UN's lies about melting glaciers and the "science" of it, some jerk misread a paper and thought that fish the world over were sinking to the bottom with plastic grocery bags over their heads and six-pack plastic doodads tying them in knots.

It was all a typical leftist lie, but it lives. Just like evil human global warming crap. Panetta just tried to leverage the global warming scam to divert our military resources, once again. And at this late date when everyone knows the idiocy and fraud that is "climate research".

Sacagawarren really missed her calling. She's got "climate scientologist" written over 1/32 of her.

70 The paper bag is a marvel. It's cheap to produce, and, no, despite reports to the contrary they don't make them out of 2,000 year old redwood trees.; when opened it stands up by itself allowing you to use both hands to fill of unfill it; they line up across the seat and help to support each other; and it has plenty of uses once you take the groceries out of it.

The gucci grocery store in my neighborhood has ones with handles which is even better, very popular around Christmas time when you know you're going to have presents to tote to the family get-together.

I ask for paper if I suspect the checker-outer is a 'save the earther' just to piss them off.

Posted by: toby928Â© at May 05, 2012 03:03 PM (NG097) Add the constant flow of germ-and-bug-encrusted bags across the packing area. Also, anything that falls from the bags as the drooling idiots slowly weave throughout the entire store. And for that matter every other form of contact you'd be likely to have with someone who carries plague-infected blankets (sorry, cloth grocery bags) in their trunk. It's almost as if thousands of years of improvements in sanitation had suddenly become some kind of affront. I would be seriously unsurprised if some of the proponents of these idiot rules actually hoped for an increase in the spread of communicable diseases.

74 ...I've reused baggies. And alumninum foil. These things happen when you learn homemaking from women who married and had their families during the Great Depression.

But taking crackers to work for lunch and then using the baggie to take crackers to work for lunch a second day is different than buying fruit or meat and watching a cashier put it on a counter that just held someone else's nasty meat-juice infused canvas hippie bag.

79 Seriously, eliminating plastic grocery bags doesn't do anything at all for the environment. They are made from byproducts of petroleum, so no special mining or drilling is needed to get the raw materials.

The claims of environmental damage from discarded bags is one of the most ridiculously exaggerated myths of the environwacko movement. There is no widespread damage to animals or fish, and they do not cause floods in Bangladesh (but even if they did, that wouldn't be a reason not to use them in LA).

Pretty much all of the claims of the greenies are just plain false, ever since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring whopper that DDT caused weakened bird eggshells.

80 ..I've reused baggies.

I've long reused all my plastic bags. They are great little trash bags after you get the stuff home and it's good to have a bunch around for whenever you need to bag something up. And they don't take up any space.

Lately, however, many of the plastic bags seem to come with little holes in the bottom, which precludes their use as garbage bags (you know, for little wastebaskets and the like), Now, that is a waste.

86 Posted by: HeatherRadish at May 05, 2012 03:16 PM (hO8IJ) ---- The Caison Platon is part of the "Old Guard" and yes its Army. They used to haul around field artillery andammo, but nw they only do funerals. They're the only unit that still uses horses IIRC. I found a link to the Army's info on Caison Platoon http://is.gd/lR0jOp

87 "They hate us because we are not them."

"They hate us because they hate their themselves and they blame their self-hate on their fathers."

This is what drives me nuts about some conservatives, you're buying into the liberal narrative about this. They don't give a fuck about our lifestyle or because of self loathing or anything other superficial reason. They hate us because their religion dictates it, the end. When you ignore that you're giving Islam a pass.

Oops. My mistake, lowandslow. I was talking about American Lefitsts. I wasn't following your whole conversation.

Sorry. You are certainly correct that muslims hate us because islam demands it.

91 Heather--he's an Army First Sergeant. The diamond between the chevrons indicates he's the senior enlisted man...nearly unfuckwithable.

If I'm not mistaken, he is what used to be called a Master Sergeant. At least when my father was in the army - 1916-1943.

95 A CBS reporter feeling smugly morally superior and better than the professional that protects her life? The deuce you say!

96 I live in a backwards state. Eggs come in cartons and aren't exposed to crap on the cashiers stand. We get special very thin plastic bags to put any bulk produce in etc etc so no food ever has to be exposed the cart or anything else.

Thank goodness because I am lazy about washing stuff even though there is no way I ought to depend on the hygiene of produce pickers. But mostly I buy frozen veggies etc. Stuff that certainly can go into a non sterile canvas bag. It is dumb for cities to outlaw certain types of shopping bags but I don't see how it exposes me to any extra germs.

98 67,

He's an First Sergeant with the Old Guard, a ceremonial unit with many funereal duties. Wikipedia has a decent description. My current Platoon Sergeant was with them.

94,

Master Sergeant still exists and is the same grade. First Sergeant is a position and a rank. E-8 without the position is Master Sergeant and lacks the diamond in the middle of his rank. First Sergeant is the highest NCO in a Company and next to the XO (First Lieutenant usually) in helping the Company Commander (Captain).

There may be some exceptions to this but that's generally how it's supposed to be. For example, we had a Master Sergeant temporarily serve as our Sergeant Major and my brother (a Second Lieutenant) is an acting XO (but he's National Guard and promotions work differently there).

100 Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to more added agreeable from you! However, how could we communicate?

102 Sorry, but Carolla is dead wrong on this one. The US doesn't and shouldn't torture, bottom line. And if you don't think that this stuff counts as "cruel and unusual punishment" then you are out of your mind.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is that it must be enforced even when it's not popular to do so. I feel the same way about this that I do about the Ground Zero Mosque.

Our rules exist for a reason, and breaking them completely undermines what America stands for.

103 Leslie Stahl's "fascination" with Islamists. It has been a long career of pro-Islamism "research," by this eloquent reporter for CBS' 60min. In the latest example (May, 13, 2012 http://www.cbsnews.com/2718-18560_162-962.html) she made Â a piece about Gulen, the Turkish Islamic cleric/tycoon who "funds" schools in the US and turns them into revenues for his global empire. In quoting blogs that criticize Gulen as having a hidden Islamic agenda, she confronted one of Gulen's representatives about it, but instead of waiting for an answer from the man, Leslie jumped and PROVIDED an answer of her own... " Would you say it's Islamophobia..?" The man, of course, agreed to the provided "answer." This is typical Leslie Stahl. In fact, the entire program was not focused on the American English teacher who was fired for the sake of replacing her with a Turkish teacher... but on her fascination with the Turkish cleric. She was so memorized by his wealth... All you saw from her was, awe. Some "fearless" reporter, seeking the "truth," alright.Â (I remember, she once [last year] took an Arab-Palestinian word... his ficticious claim that he has been in the area for... "hundreds" of years... at face value. Never mind that no Arab can prove any connection to the land of the Jews beyond the 1800s... Or the latest admission from the horse's mouth - Hamas to Egyptian media that "Palestinians" are basically half from Egypt, the other half from other Arab land...) Here are some suggestions to Leslie, if she were to be a bit less bias... Let's see a bit reporting on the Goliath. Not just in power and size, but in... intolerance! 1 - Checkout the usual venomous sermons in "moderate" mosques. Why not pick the March 15, 2012 example of top Islamic authority (mufti) calling to destroy all churches. Or the latest "moderate" Islamists (Egypt) call for jihad to march on Jerusalem as capital of a Caliphate? 2 - Scrutinize the ocean of racism against non-Arabs from Arabia to Sudan (Afro-Arabs, massacring millions of non-Arab natives); Mauritania (slavery), through Iraq (Assyrians, Kurds, Blacks, Yazidis, etc., all still discriminated against); Syria (the Alawite apartheid genocidal regime), Libya, Gulf states (Oman, Kuwait, S. Arabia, Qatar, UAE, where Asian workers/slaves are constructing their impressive buildings, and/or Asian maids are basically sex-slaves); N. Africa (e.g. Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, not just blacks, but Berbers natives to the land, Â have for too long suffered immensely); Lebanon (which hosts 200,000 living in the same slavery conditions as the African slave/maid who committed suicide this year. Or the Ahmadis as well as children of black slaves at the hands of) Palestinian-Arabs; (the Dom-gypsies in) Jordan; (the indigenous al-Akhdam in) Yemen, etc. Â Just because Arab Christians fear for their lives and won't speak on camera against totalitarian Palestinian Islamic-apartheid, doesn't mean, CBS should be silent.... These are just the tip of the iceberg, non-Muslims are either second or third in almost all Muslim land. Not just in Iran/Pakistan/Afghanistan/S.Arabia/Palestinian-Authority/Egypt, etc. Even in "moderate" Turkey, especially on Cyprus. 3 - Scrutinize the pro terror CAIR Islamic lobby (tied to criminal al-Arian). 4 - Heck, you can even make a 'special' on dehumanization in Islamic schools. The favorite one is of course the sick notion that Christians are pigs and Jews as apes. 5 - Last but not least, for CBS info... Terrorism against non-Muslims such as in Nigeria, Russia, Â Egypt, China, Israel, India, Philippines, Thailand, etc., or even against Muslims who are 'not Muslim enough...' by jihadists, such as in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, etc., is also intolerance, and a very bloody one!
