It's the same time now as it was before.

And the same time as four years from now.

It's what I call The Jim Jordan Routine. Talk, talk, talk, talk. Write sternly worded letter. Investigate, investigate, investigate. Nothing happens. Talk, talk, talk, talk. Do nothing. Appear on media-friendly political programs. Frown, convey to the public that justice is coming soon. Nothing happens. Move onto Talking about The Current Thing. Talk, talk, talk. Send sternly worded letter. Threaten subpoenas.  Investigate, investigate, investigate. Nothing happens. Wait, wait, wait. "Two More Weeks." Look at calendar. It's 2028. 

 

 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............ 

 

Hawaii legislator proposes age limit of 100 for cigarette purchasing.

Filing this in the "News That Will Never Happen" Department.

KTVU: Hawaii lawmaker proposes banning cigarettes sales to anyone under 100-years old.

Democratic state Rep. Richard Creagan proposed legislation aimed at making the state the first in the country to ban the sale of cigarettes for everyone except people age 100 and over, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Sunday.

Under his bill, the minimum smoking age would increase to 30 in 2020, to 40 in 2021, to 50 in 2022, to 60 in 2023 and to 100 in 2024.

The measure would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.

I take it Hawaii has fully and completely recovered, homes restored, roads and other property all back to normal, from May 2018. Now it's back to business as usual for Hawaii, or any state legislature, not imminently facing some disaster or crisis.

Or on the plus side, if this proposal becomes law, makers of Fake ID's will see substantial earnings increase.
