Politicians = 4th Graders

… not to insult fourth graders.

A year ago, New Jersey’s politicians were saving the world from Foie gras. Today – Behold!

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing.
The state Cosmetology and Hairstyling Board is moving toward a ban on genital waxing altogether after two women reported being injured. Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called “Brazilian” waxes. Technically, genital waxing has never been allowed — only the face, neck, abdomen, legs and arms are permitted. But because it wasn’t specifically banned, state regulators haven’t enforced the law.
The board will decide on April 14 whether to adopt explicit language banning genital waxing, which it has already done preliminarily.
The earliest the ban would take effect would be sometime in May.
Salons which continue to perform the bare-it-all “Brazilian” could face fines.

What’s next? Itchy toilet paper?

    Obviously, they must have found some trans fats in those waxes or else someone just forgot to explain to the politicians that they could tax this too.

    Don’t they have budget woes like the rest of us?? How do they have time to even think about bikini waxing?
