In the classic 1971 Woody Allen movie “Bananas,” Allen plays a milquetoast involved in a revolution in a banana republic. When the rebels win, the rebel leader begins to behave like contemporary Democrat Governors, ordering citizens to change their underwear every half hour, and “underwear will be worn on the outside, so we can check.” I doubt Allen knew he’d be so accurately predicting the lunatic behavior of D/S/C politicians so many years in the future, as Jeff Reynolds at PJ Media reports:
Gov. Kate Brown

Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D-Portland) said that residents of counties that have yet to reopen may not travel to open counties to get haircuts or dine in restaurants.
In an article that highlighted the confusing and often contradictory nature of Brown’s lockdown orders due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, The Oregonian reported:
‘Can I leave the Portland area to get a haircut in another county or visit the beach?
The governor said Thursday the answer is no, although it doesn’t appear she plans to enforce that.
Brown asked Portland-area residents to hold tight and resist the urge to drive to another county to get a haircut, dine out at a restaurant or visit a tourist sites.
‘I know this is really hard,’ Brown said. ‘I know many of us are really wanting to get our hair done, get our haircut, whatever you need to do, but we are asking folks in the metro area to be thoughtful of their fellow Oregonians and to stay home and limit their travel to essential need. … We obviously don’t want to overwhelm the rest of Oregon by traveling outside the metro area.’
Of course. So Oregonians can’t travel to free areas to sample freedom. It wouldn’t do to give businesses on the verge of bankruptcy much-needed patronage. Will the social distancing police be asking the peasants for their travel documents?
Brown also said police won’t be stopping Portlanders who are heading out for a visit to the coast, but she asked that metro area residents respect her direction, which is meant to lessen the spread of COVID-19.’
And wear your underwear on the outside, so we can check.

The urbanites who elected these dictator-wannabes should be forced to stay in their precious cities. Let them feel the full weight of their electoral decisions, whether it’s Covid, homeless camps and crapping in the streets. Maybe they’ll be a little more sensible in the future.
Most of the Covid cases are in the cities. My own rural county and small city (@75,000 total) has had 9 cases, no deaths. They can keep it.
Dear Marty:
What’s the fun of having power if you can’t exercise it over everyone, everywhere?
“Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under the omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” –not Jeffrey
She may sincerely believe she is doing the right thing. More is the pity.
Dear Jeffrey:
What you said.
