That’s one expensive window decal

SCHOOL PRIDE ... My alltime favorite my-kids-are-incollege sticker is the SUV that drives around town with a giant “OW” on the back window. That would be a bright yellow University of Oregon “O” followed by a deep purple University of Washington “W.”

Don’t know if the “OW” is a response to paying out-of-state tuition twice.

PICKLED PINK ... As opposition to pickleball noise grows in town, the Davis City Council is considering an ordinance to replace the decibel-busting pickleball paddle with a giant dill pickle, thus rendering the game almost soundless.

Members of the Sweet Gherkins, a newly formed pickleball club in Davis, say they relish a kinder, quieter game.

DISCING DISNEY ... Tired of battling Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Disney officials have agreed to move all of Disney World to Dan Ramos’ DiSC project on the eastern outskirts of Davis.

“We’re bringing Mickey and Minnie and the whole crew,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger.

“Everyone except Goofy. It’s clear to us Goofy already lives there.”

IF ONLY MIKE PENCE HAD

DONE HIS DUTY ... We all know that Donald Trump claims Mike Pence had not only the right, but the duty, to unilaterally overturn the 2020 election.

But has anyone told the former president as he launches his third run for the White House that the person whose duty it will be to overturn the election in 2024 is none other than Kamala Harris?

SARAH SAVES HER STATE ... The new governor in Little Rock has banned the use of the word “Latinx” on all official state documents.

That ought to make Arkansans sleep better at night.

FATHER KNOWS BEST ... A majority of male legislators in Missouri have imposed a dress code for female members of the legislature. I am not making this up.

ROLE REVERSAL ... Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona, who defeated Kari Lake of the Sore Loser Party last November, apparently thinks it’s just fine to have a sales tax on groceries, one of the most regressive taxes known to man.

After every Republican in the Arizona State Legislature voted to ban individual cities and counties from charging a grocery sales tax, Hobbs came up with some crazy reason why a grocery tax is a good idea.

And never mind that such a tax most dramatically affects the poor trying to purchase the basic necessities of life. Maybe Hobbs will decide next year to tax sales of tap water.

Apparently, Hobbs reasoned that if every Republican was on one side of an issue, she must reflexively be on the other.

So much for Democrats standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the poor.
