The First 100 Hours: Democrats Nationalize Football League
Hey, Chavez is nationalizing Venezuelan industry and Illinois legislators want to run the electric companies, so why shouldn't the new Democrat-run Congress jump into an industry in which its members have no knowledge and experience?
    Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation today aimed at blocking the 49ers from leaving San Francisco by giving National Football League owners the right to vote on all franchise moves.

    The measure, called the Football Fan Protection Act, would require an anti-trust law exemption.
Is it possible that our legislators take themselves too seriously, or is this evidence that they don't take themselves seriously enough?

I mean, seriously, what's the slogan here? "Government out of our bedrooms, out of our wombs, but into our sports"?

UPDATE: Added link to San Francisco Chronicle story about the actual legislation.
