Liberal Austin has banned stores from giving away plastic bags to hold purchases. Are we proud? We’re Portland South now.
All those folks (like Mrs. Charm) who felt so superior toting their green canvas bags—Ann Coulter delightfully refers to them as portable bacteria colonies—to and from the grocery are now diminished by the fact that most everyone carries them.
Well, most everyone. Not me. I prefer to pay 25 cents (so far) at the grocery for one of their recyclable brown bags (actually made of plastic, but I’m not telling). When I get home, I just stuff them in the kitchen trash and, next time, buy another one.
I am considering buying a washable cotton string bag, though five for $32 at Amazon does seem pricey. Maybe I’ll even get a (ha-ha) plastic one. Since all the liberals want to emulate Europe so bad (even unto government bankruptcy, apparently), why not go whole hog and become a German hausfrau with a string bag? Then Ann won’t be able to laugh at them risking infecting their children with salmonella or, gasp, e. coli.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
String bags… so Soviet. Russians used to call them… oh boy, it’s not very translatable. Anyway, something like “perhaps bag” – on the principle that perhaps you will encounter a shop that really sells something…
They always look flimsy to me, like they’d fall apart too easily. So far I just pay a few cents for a bag. No big deal. I’ll be damned if I will carry a bag with me into a store. Screw the liberals.
