The Great Brownie Grab of 2010 (and Beyond)

And then the Health Police™ came for the cupcakes:

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.

Republicans, notably Sarah Palin, and public school organizations decry the bill as an unnecessary intrusion on a common practice often used to raise money.

“This could be a real train wreck for school districts,” Lucy Gettman of the National School Boards Association said Friday, a day after the House cleared the bill. “The federal government should not be in the business of regulating this kind of activity at the local level.”

You know it’s bad when even the Associated Press is starting to sound like Charlton Heston with an oven mitt: Don’t Touch My Brownies!

Naturally, where there’s a call for more regulation, there will be the inevitable call for more regulators. This law will no doubt “save or create” countless “Brownie Law Compliance Officer” union jobs.

Is there nothing that these obnoxious, leftist, neo-victorian s**tbags won't stick their miserable faces into?

No. It's called totalitarianism. And you are targeted to become the slave.

God please - make them go away. I can't take it anymore.

Until we all take some personal responsibility to "make them go away," rather than waiting for somebody else to do it, they aren't going to go away.

America -- a great idea, didn't last.
