Politicians in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts -- Wormtown, to those of us who attended college there and ruined our hearing listening to punk bands at Ralph's -- propose to ban the possession in public of knives with blades longer than 1.5 inches.Because--you know--we can't be trusted but they can. Or something.
I do have to give District 3 Councilor Paul P. Clancy Jr some credit, though. How anyone could make the kinds of moronic public statements he has and not be laughed and pointed at every time he appears in public is a pretty neat trick. It's almost like his constituents are more ridiculously ignorant than he is.
