a little too ironic, dontcha think?

Speaking of patriotism: 2 new laws began to be enforceable yesterday, one in NYC and one in Georgia. You, the witty and educated blogosphere, I hope you don't miss the irony...

Georgians with carry licenses can tote their concealed guns on public transportation, in restaurants that serve alcohol and in state parks under legislation signed by Gov. Sonny Perdue Wednesday.


NEW YORK - The Board of Health voted Tuesday to make New York the nation’s first city to ban artery-clogging artificial trans fats at restaurants — from the corner pizzeria to high-end bakeries.

The board, which passed the ban unanimously, did give restaurants a slight break by relaxing what had been considered a tight deadline for compliance. Restaurants will be barred from using most frying oils containing artificial trans fats by July and will have to eliminate the artificial trans fats from all of their foods by July 2008.

Apparently it's not guns that kill people, it's trans fat! And lobbyist groups...

Did you know at some schools there is a cupcake ban? Kids can't bring cupcakes to share for their birthday!

But yes, I do think those are like rain on your wedding day (although I think that isn't technically irony, just bad luck).
