Blue Laws Revisited

Via Debra, I see that there is a Christmas sequel to the non-heartwarming Thanksgiving story I wrote about last month:

Dreams of a blue Christmas were dashed yesterday when a renegade Chinese supermarket chain blew off Bay State blue laws and did a brisk business — until the boys in blue arrived, that is.

Boston cops rolled up before noon to close the bustling Super 88 Market in the South Bay Center. The six-store Asian supermarket chain also opened on Thanksgiving despite warnings from Attorney General Tom Reilly.

I do have to wonder what the Super 88 owners were thinking. They really, really can't plead ignorance this time--not after getting busted on Thanksgiving. Maybe they're setting up a legal challenge to the laws, which would be a great thing for everybody who thinks the state has better things to do than enforce statutes that are archaic and blatantly unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, I wonder how long until O'Reilly discovers the Asian front in the War on Christmas...

[That's all, folks]
