The trouble with Axelrod’s death squads is that they’re a one-trick pony - sexual misconduct allegations. They’ve kept going to the well and now the well has run dry.

I was watching Ken Burns’ Prohibition, and this historian was talking about how if the drys had permitted reformation of the Volstead Act (which implemented the 18th Amendment of no likker), they could have kept much of what they wanted; but by adamantly refusing to give an inch, they created a nation of scofflaws (which we’re still dealing with to this day), and guaranteed that everything they’d worked for would come crashing down.

I think this bunch of progressivists is about to learn the same bitter lesson as the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Anti Saloon League. And Al Capone, for that matter.

You must check out Ann Coulter’s column this week. (I imagine you already have)
