Thing the First:
"Toy guns will have to be licensed in Queensland (Australia)."
"Any item that looks like a gun will have to be licensed under several changes to the Weapons Act being considered by the Queensland State Government. Even guns made out of materials as unlikely as soap or plastic may have to be kept under lock and key if they could 'reasonably be taken to be a weapon'."
I wonder how long it would take to get something like that passed here, too... As long as there are toy guns on the streets, no-one's safe!! Something must be done!!!
Thing the Second:
CNSNews reports, "A child nutrition bill on its way to President Barack Obama - and championed by the first lady - gives the government power to limit school bake sales and other fundraisers that health advocates say sometimes replace wholesome meals in the lunchroom."Thank goodness! It's about time someone regulated this sinister practice!! The Rice Krispy treats! The chocolate chip cookies! The brownies! (Lord love a duck, the brownies!) I know I'll sleep better at night knowing the children aren't eating as many bake sale brownies.
