What a Coinky-dink

I was going to post about the lovely hazards of driving while on a cell phone as California has stepped up the plate and will ban said activity. When does it take effect? JULY 2008! What are we too stupid to figure it out for another 2 years? or is it that we're so hyper connected to our agents, managers, studios and gazillion superficial-what-can-you-do-for-me friends that we'll have to ween ourselves from the handheld phone to bluetooth super technology?
Seriously. 2 years! My favorite quote in the article was from some pissed off Republican lawmakers who criticized the bill as "nanny government." and says:

"What's next -- helmets while you're riding a horse? Airbags in the bathtub?"

I'm sorry, do we endanger people when sitting in our bathtubs? Do horse riding individuals frequently cause major accidents?? And don't most professional horse riders/jumpers actually already wear helmets?

I mean seriously.
ps. so sad about the glasses, but i did love the recommendations regarding cell use.
