SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California lawmakers have a history of trying to keep the state's air and waters clean. Now they're tackling language.

The state Assembly passed a resolution Thursday calling for a statewide "Cuss Free Week," to occur annually during the first week of March. It next goes to the state Senate for a final vote on Monday.

Jim Carrey chewed me out on Twitter for telling him not to be a $ick.

He said I should wash my mouth out with soap.

I responded that it was a good thing I have the Dove Fresh because I like the taste. Then I said I had a secret. www.jimcarreytoldmetobrushmyteethwithsoapandtheyaresowhite.com

Guess I’ll just stick with “shucks” — my favorite portmanteau word.

As long as they don’t pick the week with April 15th in it, I don’t see any problem.

I think these are the dirty cuss words that the liberal California legislature had in mind:

Tax cut

Spending reduction

No (only if said to a union)

Go Home (only if said to an illegal alien)

Ma’am (only if said to a certain mean old nasty senator)

Even this bit of legislative nonsense requires more brain cells than can be found in the Capital. For crap sake, an obscenity free week would require that the whole assembly and governor be removed from the state.

Well, I guess Lasorda had better be out of the state during that week, based on his history discussing one Kurt Bevacqua:

“I have never, ever, since I’ve been managing, told a pitcher to throw at anybody…nor will I ever…and if I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t make him throw at a f***n’ .130 hitter, like LeFay, or f****n’ Bevacqua, who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a f***n’ boat.

And I guaran-f****n-tee you this, when I pitched and I was gonna pitch against a f****n team that had guys on it like Bevacqua, I’d send a f****n limousine to get the c***s****er to make sure he was in the m*****f*****n lineup because I’d kick that c***s****r’s a** any f*****n day of the week. He’s a f*****n m*****f******n bigmouth, I’ll tell you that.”

I’m looking forward to the cuss-free week. Swearing is noise pollution. It’s like a bad odor for your ears. Hearing it adds to stress and hostility in your day.

I’d look forward to everybody dialing back the crudeness and see if we can all notice a pleasant difference.

I can be an extreme potty-mouth, but I don’t need to burden the people around me with it, so I try to avoid swearing, for their sake. They don’t need to hear f-bombs just because I’m frustrated.

So, let’s try these out: Oh, cheese! Golldurnit! What the Flagnon? Gadzooks! Shoot! Heck! asteriskpoundsignexclamationpoint!

Just in case somebody wants to swear in response to this— bleeeeeeeep! [I can’t hear you...]

Does this mean it's safe again to light my fireplace because the state pollution inspectors are now chasing after the friggen' cussers?

No, wait... Government jobs were "saved or created" such that they can find my friggen' firelplace and the friggen' cussers, too!

Frig' 'Em!!!
