Jim Treacher has a little fun with one of America’s silliest cities:
The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today a moratorium on official city travel to Arizona after the state enacted a controversial new immigration law that directs local police to arrest those suspected of being in the country illegally.
Could we build a dome over that city? How is forcefield technology coming along? Or maybe we could get all these jailed illegal immigrants to dig a big moat around the place? Dos pájaros, una piedra.
Heh.™ Meanwhile, as the epistemic closure of the blue state mind rolls on, a beverage made in New York gets dubbed “the Drink of Fascists.”

More: Jonah Goldberg and the Volokh Conspiracy’s Jonathan H. Adler each note the weapons-grade hypocrisy of those on the far left (including squishy RINOs such as Arnold Schwarzenegger) who favor state-by-state climate laws because they find the Fed’s laws too lax and not sufficiently business-killing for their region, and yet immediately violate 57 flavors of Godwin’s Law rhetorically trashing their ideological enemies when a state attempts to make its immigration laws tougher than the Feds.
