Recently at Reason.tv: Nanny of the Month for January 2010! Or, Why Snoop Dogg Should Be Outraged!

February 3, 2010

Past Reason.tv Nannies of The Month have included New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (anti-salt, smoking, trans fat, you name it), a New York state senator who wanted to ban fish pedicures, and a Phoenix pol who banned churches from feeding the hungry on their own property.

So who is the first Nanny of The Month of this brand-new, sparking decade? Well, it's NOT Brownsville, Texas, for banning plastic shopping bags. And it's NOT Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-Calif.) for terminating trans fat in the Golden State.

But it IS a town council somewhere in California that banned something natural and pure. And it does involved the great rapper Snoop Dogg (though not in the way you might think).

Click through to find out.

Written and produced by Ted Balaker. Associate producers were Paul Detrick and Alex Manning and the animation is by Meredith Bragg.

Kudos for recognizing 2010 as the first year of the decade.

Rahm called some Democrats "fucking retarded" and then Palin called for an apology to the retarded that Rahm gave.

Do I have the details right?

I'd steal the word for nanny staters we've used at Urkobold for the award: Bibertarian.

John Tagliaferro|2.3.10 @ 5:37PM|#

I am thinking literary theft in the near future.

|2.3.10 @ 6:15PM|#

We even had a shirt, with Che, a "no symbol", and a pacifier in Che's mouth. Stop the bibertarian menace!

I promise not to steal your images, only your words.

So long as you pay me a royalty, I don't care what you do.

That's old. The discussion is several threads down. Tony was even spoofing himself as "everybody" on that thread.
