Cuss Free Week coming to California

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (FASTLAUGH.com) — Despite the massive budgetary disaster that threatens to sink California deep into the Pacific, State Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D-La Canada Flintridge) flagrantly wasted taxpayers time and money this morning by introducing legislation to consider making next week a statewide profanity-free week.
He was rewarded for this ludicrous behavior with the Assembly approving a ceremonial resolution this morning, pronouncing the first week of March as a “Cuss Free Week.”
“Just when you thought that us Democrats couldn’t get any stupider, and give the GOP any more ammunition against us, one of us pulls a dumbass, shithead stunt like this!,” howled a long-time Democratic loyalist, “WTF was Portantino thinking using precious legislative time and resources under the scrutinizing gaze of rightfully pissed-off taxpayers in this state, especially when there are all kinds of critical obstructionist issues we need to be advancing to thwart the GOP?”
He added, “What is all this bullshit he’s talking about ‘wondering why we behave differently when grandma is watching than when we’re on our own?’ Is this any way to spend taxpayer money…introducing anti-cussing resolutions? My grandma uses the F word every single day of her life and she’s a kickass 92 year-old who can make a sailor blush. She claims that cussing vents her anger and keeps her feeling young and hip. She uses the F word as a noun, a verb, an adjective, whatever.”
This is not the first time that the California legislature has wasted taxpayer money on such foolishness. In 2007, the word “hell” was used in the Senate chambers and senators spent part of the day voting to debate on the appropriateness of using that word on the Senate floor. They ultimately agreed to disagree, wasting a hell of a lot of taxpayer resources in the process.
Now, that’s what good government is all about.
