Thank the Lord for the Federal Government! Imagine the death and destruction if alcohol and caffeine were allowed to be bottled together and sold! Ever since the scourge of Four Loko ravaged the land the FDA has been ramping up its eternal vigilance that we might be spared the threat of artificially caffeinated alcohol. And [...]
This strikes me as one of the epic failures of conservatism or the Right writ large. Power continues to flow to Washington and the federal government. Issues are increasingly nationalized and local control lost or subverted.

What is the #1 rule of holes? Stop Digging! These are difficult times. Everyone is having to tighten their belt and make sacrifices.
