La Pièce de Résistance

Finally, Will Saletan gets one right. When he's not hating on the ample-of-bottom, he's not all bad. I agree that ages of consent are too high here in the U.S. We should emulate our enlightened European friends, and drop it down to sixteen.

If the laws were different, I definitely would've gotten laid in high school. Or college.

Government Cheeseburger

Apparently Los Angeles wants to ban fast food in poor neighborhoods. I have mixed feelings on the idea. I like that they're doing something to help the poor and downtrodden live healthier lives. We need government to help people make smart choices sometimes.

But banning fast food? I enjoy a trip to Jack-in-the-Box now and again. The "Ultimate Burger" is hecka tasty after a long day of sociology research. I mean, they look at you kind of weird when you roll through the drive-thru in a Segway, but they'll give you the food. Eventually.

Maybe what L.A. should do is, instead of banning fast food, mandate that they serve only selections from a city-approved menu. As long as the Ultimate Burger is on that menu, I'd be satisfied.
