Another odious “Thank God we're not poor” bill is SB 1578 by Democrat Alan Lowenthal of Long Beach, making it “a crime” to tether a dog to a stationary object longer than three hours. If you've spent time in South Central, Richmond or Compton, you know that families tether dogs at
And there's AB 2360 from Democrat Ted Lieu of El Segundo, who snapped to it when Tom Cruise enthused over using an ultrasound device to watch his unborn child. This silly bill bans the sale of ultrasound machines to all but professionals. No word yet on preventing parental purchase of tall chairs, boom boxes and furniture with sharp corners. With big bipartisan Assembly support of 63-10, it heads to the Senate floor.

Whatever happened to individual freedom?
Letting Tom Cruise use an ultrasound is a dumb idea. Letting Tom Cruise use an ultrasound machine on an alleged
pregnant woman is a really dumb idea.
I don't think I'd trust Tom Cruise with a heating pad.
Is Kali set to outlaw them next? He could burn himself.
