I've always loved Louisiana: the food; the music; New Orleans; the bayou; all the cool little towns with historical flavor Seattle can only dream about.

But my favorite thing about Louisiana is its exemplary politicans. And they're at it again: proposing legislation to ban porn on car video players.

Times-Picayune columnist Chris Rose observes:

There are many ways to interpret the meaning of House Bill 640, currently circulating through the corridors of power in Baton Rouge.

....(one) way to look at the proposed law is to call it a complete waste of time and energy, a red herring, a feel-good charade, an empty gesture in the name of family values and a misguided effort to stop the two people in Louisiana who actually drive their cars with porn on while our schools go down the toilet, corruption consumes the state....and young men die in our streets every night.

Of course, that would be a pretty cynical way to look at it.

Yeah. Guess so.
