  • On a day when Swish Obama nuzzled the ring of his main Democrat donor Tom Steyer, genuflected to his wishes and killed the Keystone XL Pipeline after approving the first 81 pipeline deals of his administration –
  • On a day when the bulletproof, but obviously gutter-class Bobby McDonald, Secretary of the VA, pulled a Swishy, lying arrogantly, confidently to a homeless military veteran about his background –

Normal people wedged in a sweet victory.

At least for a year and a half, they defeated the My No. 1 Value Is Feeling Good About Me party.

The intensely selective statewide “plastic bag” ban, due to take effect July 1, delightfully has been put on hold until November 2016, or hopefully forever.

Voters will decide, not a few extremist left-wing legislators beholden to cracker-crunching environmentalists.

Environmentalists this afternoon are crying into their own plastic bags that were not to be banned because they are good for earth and 2½ other planets.

Activists rounded up enough signatures – it was announced yesterday — to stave off the stampede of selectivity triggered by environmentalists who live in a strange atmosphere where “global climate warming change” is as real as Alice in Wonderland, the Three Bears and Swish Obama’s morals.

As a crowd, environmentalists – of the plastic baggie breed – are rudimentarily dishonest.

They think some plastic bags are good, some not. Eh, wot?

Boys, they are bad for the environment or not. Which is it? I know. It is a head-scratcher.

When you live on Mars during the daylight hours, such challenges can be aggravating.

This is the unemployed, welfare-loving diversity crowd at play again.

Plastic bags, not to be confused with my second bride, are supposed to be banned for polluting the sphere around us. (Maybe they do have something in common.)

But the environmentalists still have not made up their minds about which kinds should be prohibited, which exempted and why.

The cheering news is that the ban is not in the bag. Or is it?
