I suppose they need to raise money somehow and global warming is a popular issue. I’m just curious as to why I have not seen a single bag floating around in the puget sound and what that company that buys all those used plastic bags and makes them into things is going to do now? Personally, I don’t have a problem with not using bags. I like those nice cloth ones, there sturdier and I like that my bottled water bottles can be recycled and turned into cool bags for shoppers like they have everywhere now.

Nickels photo? Is he really that red?

I just enjoy the image of Nickles being tranquilized at a news conference. The bag tax is a little over the top.

All of the people, all of the time? I could-a sworn you were meeting your goals. Fire all the un-funny people and just have Mayor Nickels write for you!

This actually made me smile quite enthusiastically. Especially the picture. Maybe it’s because I think the mayor is a nutjob who’s idea of taxing bags is just plain rediculous. Speaking of nutjobs, anyone who is buying all the enviro-rhetoric about the evils of plastic bags is also a bit of a nutjob. This story is funny cause it stings of truth.

I think jimothy should take our mayor to DIck’s for lunch everyday for a month or two. Feed him on whatever he can score in the take-out line — 10 cents per plastic bag; 20 cents per paper bag. That should be good for his figure and his color.

I agree with jimothy. It’s just like old people to come in here and goof up the place every time me and my youthful friends are skateboarding downtown talking about the mayor and his awesome bag tax policy. Stop trying to be so trendy!

Well, as long as you don’t waterboard Jimothy, I’m fine with that.

Unfortunately for Jimothy, we have him tied to a chair in the basement of Naked Loon headquarters, where our staff forces him to read our stories 47 times each day.

Also, we only feed him raw beets.

Seriously, none of your stories are funny at all. They’re like someone’s dad trying to imitate youth culture. You’re not the Onion. Not to mention that bag taxes are a fantastic idea.

Just another example of another public official who has gone nuts over global warming and needs: THERAPY!
