In the eternal war of good versus evil, many battles are waged. Some are won, some are lost. The fight goes on.
No wonder she has no clothes. Very hard to buy off the rack.
Today, we have examples of both.
Evil has claimed a victory, as reported here by the KUSI NEWS. “Floatopias” were an awesome end-around to get past a previous violation of our constitutional right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (emphasis added, although I think the Founding Fathers meant precisely that). San Diego had previously banned alcohol on the beaches, so Floatopias were a mass of tubes, rafts and what have you that floated, and drank, about 20 feet offshore. Totally legal. Sadly, the forces of evil have now pushed the ban out to 3 miles. Curse you, Satan!
Clearly this type of enjoyment must be stopped!
On the side of Good, the forces of righteousness have proclaimed that drinking is allowed 24 hours a day in Chicago Airports! Anyone who has taken a redeye across the country and had to lay over at Midway at 3:00 a.m. knows that you really needed a drink. Especially those of us on West Coast time. Now, thankfully, we can have one.
The forces of Good and Evil remain balanced for another day.

"The harsh, useful things of the world, from pulling teeth to digging potatoes, are best done by men who are as starkly sober as so many convicts in the death-house, but the lovely and useless things, the charming and exhilarating things, are best done by men with, as the phrase is, a few sheets in the wind." ~H.L. Mencken
The Dangers of Thirst
"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing." ~Jerome K. Jerome

The Jug of Empire!
"How solemn and beautiful is the thought that the earliest pioneer of civilization, the van-leader of civilization, is never the steamboat, never the railroad, never the newspaper, never the Sabbath-school, never the missionary -- but always whiskey!" ~Mark Twain
