Go out and have a drink in celebration of the end of a really bad experiment.

A slight correction to that line is in order: it was 74 years ago today that Alcohol prohibition was repealed. Prohibition itself is still going strong, and is still being used to erode and destroy our Liberty.
Comment by Rob Davidson — December 5, 2007 @ 12:58 pmSo you’re saying today would be a particularly good day to drink one of my own home-brewed beers?
Thanks, Doug, for twisting my arm. I was only 98% sure I was going to drink a beer tonight before this post, now it’s up to 100% ;-)
