Really Bad Ideas Dept. - From the local CBS affiliate comes a story of pure, unadulterated city council genius:

Condom Machines May Come To Public Libraries
By Kaushal Patel, KOLD News 13

It's just an idea for now, but condom machines may be placed in local public libraries.

Planned Parenthood runs a program that places condoms in local coffee shops, restaurants, bars and neighborhood centers, and their numbers show more condoms are purchased at neighborhood centers than bars.

"We have to make them accessible neighborhood centers, libraries, other places teens are hanging out," says City Councilman Jose Ibarra.  He wants to discuss the possible expansion with the library board.

A library spokesperson couldn't comment, saying there is no formal proposal.

What? the? flip?

Apparently, the library is supposed to be for more than just books. I wonder if the brainiac councilman thought that maybe, just maybe, with prepubescent children encouraged to go to the library that it might not be a good idea to have such things. I wonder what is compelling Jose to say "We have to make them accessible...".

As you may imagine, Planned Parenthood isn't on my top ten list of organizations for which I cheer. I wonder who's contributing to Councilman Ibarra's war chest ...
