Reason.tv: Nanny of the Month (Jan 2011) Drug Testing 11-year-olds! Fining iPod Users!

Last month Reason.tv recognized 2010's Nanny of the Year, and now it's onto a brand new year of nagging nannies.

This month's slate features heartland regulators targeting drinking games and New Jersey educators drug testing 11-year-olds.

But top dishonors go to the New York pol who's pushing a bill that would make it illegal to cross the street while iPodding, cell-phoning or being otherwise engaged with an electronic gadget.

Presenting Reason.tv's Nanny of the Month: New York State Senator Carl Kruger!

Approximately 1 minute.

"Nanny of the Month" is written and produced by Ted Balaker. Associate Producer: Alex Manning.

Speaking of nannies, the rumor on the street is that Nick Gillespie pulled the copy of Atlas Shrugged out of his ass in anger on hearing that Ayn Rand had taken Social Security and Medicare. Is that true?
Also, did the old cunt maintain that the link between smoking and lung cancer was a hoax to the very end?

Tell the guy in the white lab coat that he's not monitoring your medications closely enough.

When he asks you what you mean, show him that post, and he'll understand.

ARFARFARFARFARFARFARFARFARFARFARF!!!!!!!!!!

[TrickyVic]

My dog understood that and thinks you want a date. I have to warn you, he'll want to be on top.

[Rather]

Why on top? Does he want a change from your routine? -you rolled out the red carpet for that one

[Wind Rider]

There oughta be a law, I tells ya!

With the text of the law being that those people (the ones who get their rocks off telling others what to do) have to pass a 15 year test period of demonstrating adequate self bladder control before they are allowed to tell anyone to do a damned thing.

[Wind Rider]

Part of the new law - mandatory passage of the three hour Eric Massa Tickle Fight Challenge? - failure restarts the clock.

"But top dishonors go to the New York pol who's pushing a bill that would make it illegal to cross the street while iPodding, cell-phoning or being otherwise engaged with an electronic gadget."

Would that include pacemakers?

[Fist of Etiquette]

This law might just stop SkyNet in its tracks.

[TrickyVic]

This title should be shared with the pol from Arkansas looking to do the same.

[Fist of Etiquette]

They have iPods in Arkansas? They have streets in Arkansas?

Note: The bit of elitism comes to you from rural Pennsylvania.

[TrickyVic]

Well sort of, It's two pine cones attached with a string.

[Ass Heaven]

[some guy]

And anything under a car counts as a street, right?

[Ceroth]

Do these awards come with a trophy because I would love to see the reaction from these busybodies when they are give this award in front of a whole group of people.

[R C Dean]

Great idea. Definitely need a trophy for these.

I would suggest a gold statue, like the Oscars, only it would be Mary Poppins in jackboots. But that's kinda hot, and might not send the right message.

[Sir Irony]

Issuing drug test for kids in middle school? Great idea... when you substitute "kids in middle school" with "all politicians."

[Tulpa]

It's already illegal in NYS to have headphones on when you're riding a bike or rollerblading in a public right-of-way, so this really isn't much of a stretch.

[No, not really.]

It must also be illegal to be blind or deaf, right?

[Bill Dalasio]

Ugh. I hate the idea of banning by law, but anyone who pretends a crackberry addict or a rabid isn't a walking hazard is deluding themselves. And anyone want to bet who sues whom when the numbnuts walk into traffic and get hit?

[MHeld]

Don't forget about the NJ Senator/Congresswoman who about a month ago wanted to required registration of ALL bicycles, including a registration plate. She proposed this after some elderly citizens were knocked down by kids on bikes but couldn't ID the perps later.
