Nanny-State Nonsense [Say Anything]Sigh... BISMARCK -- Lory Harsche is frightened her daughter could get caught up in a "power hour" when midnight strikes on the eve of her 21st birthday. I'm not against this legislation for any reason other than the fact that its pointless. Somebody needs to clue these mothers into the fact that if their child is the type to consume 21 shots of alcohol in the hour between midnight on their birthday and when the bars close then they're probably the type to overdo it whenever they drink. There is no accounting for stupidity. If they're so worried about this issue maybe they should have spent more time with their children teaching them how to deal with alcohol responsibly. Or maybe we should think about how silly it is to have a drinking age in the first place? Maybe we wouldn't have to worry about 21st-birthday binge drinking if we took away the reason why that particular birthday is so important. Maybe if alcohol were something kids dealt with at an early age (while still living with their parents) they'd learn how to deal with it responsibly and wouldn't think of sneaky adolescent drinking as such a right of passage. Its just a thought. (via Dakota Pundit) [Cross-posted at Say Anything] posted by Ace at 02:38 PM
CommentsPower hour? Hell, I remember having a power *week*. Last week. Like, at age 30 1/2. An entire week. Of power. Man, I gotta get off the sauce. Now, if only the government would tell me to quit drinking the 'shine. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 28, 2005 02:54 PM
Age 16: "Here you go, here's two tons of metal that can travel at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour, now go out with your irresponsible friends and have a blast." Age 18: "Please remember to vote in the election that decides the next leader of the free world. Yeah, don't worry - P Diddy, Eminem and Paris Hilton will tell you who you should vote for." Age 20: "Is that, a beer? Put that down!" Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 28, 2005 03:05 PM
It's the same argument they make about bicycle helmut laws for kids: "if it's a law then I can use that excuse to make my kid wear a bike helmut". Shit, who's the effing parent here? My preference is for it NOT to be the guvmint. Posted by: too many steves on January 28, 2005 03:05 PM

I'm still in shock over the bill that would require cold medicine with pseudophedrine (??) to only be sold provided you present some ID and look to be a certain age. Posted by: on January 28, 2005 03:36 PM
These guys are missing the solution. If they just lowered the drinking age to 6, then the "power hour" would involve a lot fewer drinks. Posted by: J Mann on January 28, 2005 04:08 PM
These folks are assuming that their kids aren't raving alkys already. By the time I was 21 I had too many fake ID's to count and was sleeping with the preacher's daughter. My parents thought it was kind of funny. Posted by: pinky on January 28, 2005 04:11 PM
Our country will send you off to die before they'll let you kill yourself with a "power hour." I do recall drinking 21 drinks on my 21st birthday. Although by no means was it in an hour. I also recall vomiting approximately 12 of those up outside Olympic Gardens Strip Club in Las Vegas before I was able to continue "powering" or at least get a lap dance from an overly tan man, so I think I kinda screwed it up.... Posted by: Wittysexkitten on January 28, 2005 05:50 PM
I would have to have at least 12 drinks before I would get a lap dance from a guy. Posted by: Not a woman on January 28, 2005 07:23 PM
'rite' of passage, not 'right.' Sheesh. Good post, but come on! This one's not even hard. Posted by: Dianna on January 29, 2005 05:01 PM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews. Henry Rosoff Oh my Totenkopf Tattoo, that is a DRUBBING! I'm usually very anti-antisemitism but if the Communist Antisemite Jihadists can pull this one off, Go Communist Antisemite Jihadists, Go!
Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:
Sahil Kapur I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into." Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign. And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life: ![]() Recent Comments
