Reason.tv's Nanny of the Month for October 2009: Arrests for naked coffee-making, bans of fast-food restaurants, but the winner is…
No matter what it is—cigarettes, trans fat, incandescent light bulbs—chances are some nanny wants to ban it. And this past month was no exception.
Last month, the top prize for biggest buttinsky went to the Alabama state Supreme Court, for upholding a ban on sex toys and devices specifically designed to stimulate human genitals. Because, well, you know, the government really does have a right to regulate your most private parts.
Who is the Nanny of the Month for October 2009? The runners up include:
The Fairfax County, Virginia police for arresting Eric Williamson after a woman saw him making coffee naked—in his own home.
Then there's the Los Angeles City Council, which extended its ban on new fast food restaurants in South LA.
But there's only one Nanny of the Month, and this time it's…

Yeah, Nanny of the Month. But I prefer Dana Loesch's Douche of the Week. Can we get a Nanny Douchebag of the Month, or something?
Your obviously not thinking about the fish.
What about the children...
of the fish???
Get your priorities straight!
I read that as Tranny of the Month. possibly because I am overcaffeinated.
Would that be Tranny of the Month as in very convincing, or as in a tranny with a beard you can camp in and a six-foot long schlong hanging out his dress? Could be funny, could be disturbing, could be both.
Tranny of the month?? You should be banned from this site!
devices specifically designed to stimulate human genitals
The Alabama Supreme Court upheld a ban on toasters? WTF?
Vacuums and washing machines too.
Rat fucking bastards! What about cantaloupes heated in a microwave or garbage bags full of pudding or rubbing a 9-volt on your taint or shower heads or a jar of mayonnaise or couch arms or Porches?
Or a glass of water ala "Summer of '42"
rubbing a 9-volt on your taint
Oh man, I have GOT to stop reading this blog while eating my lunch.
I nearly choked to death upon reading this. And now I gotta clean all the half-chewed food I spewed out off my keyboard.
TMI! TMI!
Does the 9-volt thing really work?
Next up... a ban on dangling your feet off the dock.
Good choice. Banning fish pedicures is way WTF? You don't have anything better to do? Good then we can do away with your office.
Did this guy move to NY from the UK? WTF?
Oh, bans on NEW fast-food joints! Oh that makes sense!
"The Fairfax County, Virginia police for arresting Eric Williamson after a woman saw him making coffee naked?in his own home."
Why wasn't the woman arrested for peeping???
coffee naked...is that coffee without 'cream and sugar' (cream and sugar connatated as lewd and lasivious)
because it was a woman seeing the guy naked. Plus her kid was with her. (what about the children?)
Now, if it was the other way around...
I would spank my kid for looking into some random guy's window, and then make it perfectly clear for them to make sure and watch for peeping tom's while mommy and/or daddy are making their food while naked.
Did somebody say fish pedicure tank?
I'm gonna dip my balls in it!
What are you, Kanye West or something?
I'm pretty sure he likes fish sdicks.
Not in Alabama you won't!
Washington State already banned these a few months ago.
If you are free to go to see Louboutin shoes, Christian is very contracted, can reveal female's unique charm.The site is http://www.christianlouboutinshoesmart.com
Christian Louboutin.
This is why Neal Boortz' use of the term "Alabamastan" is so spot-on.
I don't know anything for sure but I'd wager that the politician banning fish pedicures is a pervert.
Do I have any takers?
Why ya'll got to pick on Alabama? I'm sure plenty of stupid crap comes out of your state too.
My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight...the Bible's books were not written by straight laced divinity students in 3 piece suits who white wash religious beliefs as if God made them with clothes on...the Bible's books were written by people with very different mindsets...
is good
