Tough Sledding
Too true to be parody? Doug Bandow's Commission to Save Children. Also: Unions' dirty ballots. Inequality doesn't figure. Jackie Mason holds back. Plus much more.

Here in Kanukistan we already have someone agitating for a law demanding that everyone who sleds be forced to wear a helmet. TWO children were killed in Eastern Kanukistan in the past three years — hence the need for a new law.
Unfortunately a kid who was hot-dogging on a snowboard died this weekend. Even more unfortunately, despite the Marching Mommies’ Press Release stating that he would have lived if only he’d been wearing a helmet, the coroner in fact stated that the child died of a brain aneurysm and a helmet would not have done him a bit of good.
