A friend of mine took his family to the beach in Oxnard today. Yes, they were socially distancing. About thirty feet away, the police proceeded to tell a 93-year-old couple -- sitting away from people on beach chairs -- that they could sit on the sand but not on the chairs.
The reason? Apparently, the police have been informed that it& #39;s okay to swim or walk or sit in "temporary fashion," but chairs represent permanence. Even for 93-year-olds. Because everyone is an idiot.
I& #39;ll play the video on the show tomorrow. Because this is just asinine. Americans are, by and large, being smart and reasonable. A lot of the authorities aren& #39;t.
That& #39;s not the fault of the cops. It& #39;s the fault of the people putting these regulations in place, who all too often are caribou performing sexual acts on basketballs.
