SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 8:38 A.M. ET:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – San Francisco has become the first major U.S. city to pass a law that cracks down on the popular practice of giving away free toys with unhealthy restaurant meals for children.  San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed the law on Tuesday on a veto-proof 8-to-3 vote...

...Opponents of the law include the National Restaurant Association and McDonald's Corp, which used its now wildly popular Happy Meal to pioneer the use of free toys to market directly to children.

San Francisco isn't concerned about nutrition.  It's concerned about the "happy" in Happy Meals.  You can't be happy in a socialist republic.  It's dangerous, it's middle-class, it's...American.  Banned.  So Nancy Pelosi won't get her free toy.
