I’m still scratching my head – and chewing my cud, for that matter – trying to figure out how on earth an *udderly* ridiculous, “dumb-ass bill” (see Waldo Jaquith’s tweet, below) like HB119 – the “milk labeling bill” – by right-wing Republican Del. Barry Knight actually passed the Virginia General Assembly this session. For the record, here’s the vote tally in the House (66-32) and in the Senate (24-16), with moooost Democrats voting to put this bill permanently out to pasture and moooost Republicans – you know, the same people who *claim* to be all about the “free market” and protecting our constitutional rights, voting for this ridiculous, likely unconstitutional (antii-First-Amendment), piece of bovine excrement/bullsh**.

1. That horse is totally out of the "barn"...

Coconut milk has been known as such for more than a century by those who don't drink cow's milk in India and among sailors transporting the convenient "hairy" containers with them during their voyages.

2. That is pretty stupid

The word isn't the problem. Reliance on government subsidy is.
