And the D.C. City Council recently created a new concern: The panel passed emergency legislation that would allow bars and restaurants to stay open around the clock and serve alcohol until 5 a.m. from Jan. 17 through Jan. 21.
What could possibly go wrong?
Oh. Ma. God.
I mean, that sounds like a wonderful idea!
Is this the you assholes don’t understand Russia thread?
That’s every thread, JHoward. Eventually.
This may be the best thing the D.C. City Council has done in the past 5 years.
This is for all of those visitors that can’t find a hotel room, now they nly have to be on the streets for a little while.
“You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay…oh fuck it, we’ll be opening back up in an hour.”
All-night booze and celebratory gunfire.
What could possibly go wrong?
Would someone please think of the rats? When the fuck are they gonna have time to come out and scavenge? They’ll either go hungry or have to get used to eating amongst drunken socialists. Were it me, I’d probably lay in a week supply of food and water and lay low, but rats are notoriously poor at planning and preparation. Starve or eat the shit that falls out of Rosie O’s mouth and chance her stepping on me…….that’s a tough one.
Booze is not a method.
As a former resident of the District, I just have one question…
What are the authorities gonna do with all the bums and panhandlers that will be descending on the hoi-polloi and liberal glitterati that will be able to afford to come to O!s inaguration and stay out all night and party at the bars afterward..?
I mean, they can’t just ship them out of town, say to Baltimore, for a few days, nor simply round them up; those solutions would be too insensitive…
I’m guessing the DC city council will issue them free booze credit cards, or something, to keep them occupied and happy during the extended fete; but only the minority bums…
You see, the white ones have had,*ahem*, over 200 years of, well-you know, privalege…
They’ll take a cue from Denver and give ’em makeovers, then register them to vote (again) before they hide them away at the zoo.
It’s sad, really, I’m sure there will be a lot of leftover organic arugula in the dumpsters.
This is just a budget sceme for the DC cops to stuff the District’s coffers full of DUI and public intoxication fine money, right? I wish I would have thought of that one…
C’mon, Major John. They don’t want all those political prisoners, and you know it.
Not a bad idea, the spectre of an Obama Administration makes me really want a drink too.
Oh hell! One of you is gonna have to ride back and get a shitload of Boone’s Farm.
That’s funny, because when the Cubs were in the playoffs, Mayor Daley forced the bars in the Wrigley area to do just the opposite–stop selling booze. Maybe this is why Obama won and the Cubs are perennial losers. Frankly, I favor the Obama approach on this one.
Of course, if an incoming Republican admin did the same thing there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Sounds suspiciously like the selling-whiskey-to-the-Indians plan.
Bob – no socialist cares about insensitivity when it comes to someone raining on his parade, especially a bum. The DC government will treat those bums like Henry Clay Frick treated striking steelworkers.
I really do understand the desire to have the party last all night but this just looks like a recipe for disaster.
the points of view expressed on this page are refreshing and comforting. they confirm that regardless of what the main stream media — which is nothing more than the house organ for the democrat party — may do to entrap people in the clutches of its “collective thinking” and “liberal agenda”, there still are those who are able to see beyond the curtain hiding the charlatan “oz”. i look forward to becoming more involved in protein wisdom’s expression of ideas. until then, i am the kunee ama………..
Damn, and I thought Andrew Jackson’s Inaugural was supposed to have been a party. Be almost funny if they manage to burn down the White House before O! can move in.
There’s a reason baseball games cut off the beer at the 7th inning. At some point the party needs to stop.
