We must have misunderstood Obama when he said he was going to have the most transparent administration in history.
What he meant was he was going to have the most secret administration in history and he was going to make us the most transparent citizens in history.
I kinda miss the old fashioned Presidents who didn't consider us the enemy.
LA Bans Plastic Bags, Charges for Paper
The Los Angeles City Council has approved a bill that not only bans single-use plastic bags in food stores but also imposes a 10-cent charge for each paper bag.
And it's a move that could have unexpected, even dangerous side effects.
The ban on plastic in stores that sell perishable foods would take effect in January for large stores and in July 2014 for smaller stores.
"We've seen plastic bags clogging our gutters, polluting our rivers and piling up on our beaches," Council Member Jose Huizar said in a statement.
"The time for the City of Los Angeles to take action to protect our environment is now."
Nearly 2 billion single-use plastic bags are distributed in Los Angeles annually, CBS News Los Angeles reported.
Los Angeles is the largest U.S. city to ban plastic bags.
But many shoppers will choose to rely on reusable grocery bags to avoid the 10-cent charge for a paper bag. And that could lead to an increase in foodborne illnesses, emergency room visits, and even deaths, researchers say.
As the Insider Report disclosed in January, the danger comes because reusable bags are breeding grounds for E. coli and other harmful bacteria.
"If individuals fail to clean their reusable bags, these bacteria may lead to contamination of the food transported in the bags," according to a report from Jonathan Klick, professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, and Joshua D. Wright, a professor at the George Mason University School of Law and Department of Economics.
"Such contamination has the potential to lead to health problems and even death."
Tests of randomly selected reusable grocery bags found coliform bacteria in more than half of them, the Insider Report noted.
Yet the ban may not have a major impact on litter in Los Angeles. An audit in San Francisco, which banned the bags in 2007, showed that they account for less than 3 percent of the city's litter.
Many plastic bags are recycled, or used as trash liners or doggie litter bags.

Democrats love writing more and more new and crazy laws so they can harass people with them and take their money.

The people were lined up outside the store waiting to buy the $180 shoes when this lamebrain pulled a gun and decided to relieve them of their money but instead, he got relieved of his life.
And why, you ask, do I automatically assume that he was a Democrat?
Because when Republicans commit crimes, they're usually at a desk and the weapon is usually a pen or a computer or a telephone.
Republicans only use their guns for sport shooting, hunting and shooting Democrats that are breaking into their houses.
They will pay about half of what they paid last year for coffee but decided to raise prices anyway.
I stopped drinking Starbucks a while back because of its support for extreme leftwing loon causes.
And I don't miss the taste of their burnt coffee beans at all.

Whatever happened to the sequestration that cut Air Traffic Controllers to risky levels and prevented kids from going on tours of the White House?
I thought we were broke and buried in debt?
But we can pay to have an Aircraft Carrier Battle Group offshore in Africa in case he gets a tummy ache?
I guess this is his ultimate "Let them eat cake" moment.
That's how much respect we command in the world with Barry at the helm now.
And now we don't know if he's in Russia, Iceland, Cuba, Ecuador or Venezuela.
I guess the NSA can't find that information in our phone calls and emails.
Keep looking guys!

This happened in Atlanta but was done all over the country from the Carolinas to California.
If this alone isn't reason enough to abolish the IRS, I don't know what is.
And these are the same people that are going to run Obamacare.
The beheaded Christian's body was last seen dumped in the street and being eaten by a pack of dogs.
Ah yes, the religion of peace...
These are the people Obama and McCain are helping with our money.
It's a poster that's going up in public.
I guess he wants more white guys and Christians on the list or something. He says it's not fair that it's all Muslims. It's not sensitive.
Democrats are so thoughtful and oh so sensible!
They're not crazy @ssholes at all!
Democrats say we have no right telling them what to do with their bodies when they're defending abortion.
I would submit that these are not your bodies you are flushing down toilets and throwing out with the trash.
These are human beings, you cold-blooded, murdering, heartless Democrat muthafkrs! These are innocent little babies!

He was flushed down the toilet by his "mother" and unfortunately didn't survive it like the baby in China did.
He traveled through the whole sewer system all the way to the water treatment plant.
This is the kind of respect for life the Democrats are fostering with their baby-killing culture.
God help us stop the killing.
