| KATIE COURIC WITH A CANVAS SHOPPING BAG? |
| Thursday, January 27, 2005 |
| GET REAL!
Instead of seeing San Francisco's plan to enact a 17 cents per grocery bag fee as a ridiculous example of do-gooder government trying to impose a backdoor tax in order to promote liberal social engineering, the Today crew of Katie Couric, Matt Lauer and Ann Curry admired the goal of eliminating the use of grocery bags.
Couric saw Europeans as the model to follow since in Europe people use "canvas bags or those big sort of net bags." Curry chimed in with how "in New York you see a lot of people driving little wheeled, you know, sort of carts" and suggested "really maybe we should think about that again." Couric put her finger to her cheek and uttered a "hmm" as Lauer, sitting beside her, enunciated their thinking: "Something to ponder."

So, what you're saying is, it's bad to create less waste?

NOOOO! We recycle our Walmart shopping bags. They are often my lunch bags during the week. I just can't imagine Katie doing anything that would contribute toward the ecology...

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
