Arlington City Council Abducted by Aliens, Replaced with Progressive Lookalikes
by BernieOkay, so I actually don’t have any proof to back up the headline… but how else do you explain the fact that the Arlington City Council is actually considering passing a very forward-thinking law?
It’s the largest city in the U.S. with no public transportation system. It gives huge handouts to rich folks who want to build stadiums. And let’s not forget our very own Steve-o’s personal jihad against Arlington. And these guys want to pass a law that’s good for the environment? A law that started in, [gasp], San Francisco?
To be fair to the council, the death of mass transit and the gifts to Jerry Jones were moves given the stamp of approval by Arlington voters in elections. I hope the council can pass the plastic bag ban without having to put it on the ballot!
And if the ban is enacted, I hope Fort Worth is brave enough to follow in Arlington’s footsteps. (That has to be number one on my all-time list of things I never thought I’d say.)

I am a Fortworthian by day, and Arlingtonian by night. I’m frankly shocked that this has come about. It makes me wonder what other steps they are willing to take toward environmental stewardship.
I wish the city would offer to distribute one free re-usable grocery bag, to extend an olive branch, to those dissenters that insist on having “convenient” plastic bags.
