With Legislators Like These. . .

The Post is reporting that Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY14) is looking to require proper labeling on tanning beds. Apparently one's uterus is off-limits to government meddling, but not one's skin.

One has to ask, though: does this look like effective legislating? Why are we afraid of bringing out conservative issues--school choice (I know, much of the 14th specifically is weary of it), smaller government, lower and simpler taxes, a healthier economy all sound much better than the current opposition agenda in the New York delegation of slaying the Bush "machine" and playing "overprotective parent" with American adults. It continues to baffle me.
