California Needs A Spanking

California needs a spanking. The state needs it for lots of reasons, of course, chief among them Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and the fact that we let Hollywood and all of its plastic, botoxed demi-gods keep on churning out moronic movies.

However, the latest reason is Assemblywoman Sally Leiber of San Jose. Leiber, a Democrat, has introduced a bill that will outlaw spanking. AB 755. Of course, she doesn't have any children. Corporal punishment, whether you like it or not, gets the job done and keeps kids in line. It has worked well for millions of families over the ages without any great complaint or subsequent neuroses.

Granted, anything in life can be abused and misused. But just because something is misused doesn't mean it should be outlawed. If you followed that logic, we'd be banning butter right and left, as well as practically everything else around here. Cheese would definitely get banned. A lot of people abuse and misuse cheese, if you know what I mean.

Here's my ad hominem attack for the day: Sally Leiber, judging from her photos, should concentrate on banning butter rather than spanking. That would probably have an immediate and positive effect on her.
