you coming to my house? Take Interstate 285 to the first red light, and take a right. And bring your cigs - and booze, oh, yes, and a lampshade. You got it..LOL..
By the way, your interstate has signal lights, too? ;)

Interstate 285 goes around Atlanta - and around and around and around. There are no redlights.

"Council Chair Linda Cropp is referring the alcohol bill to committee -- calling Schwartz's argument was ``thought-provoking.''"
"...upon reading the Washington Post she changed her mind again. "

Ithought we went through Prohibition 1919-1932...which gave us the cherubic countenance of Carrie Nation, the rise of the Mafia, and a whole host of lovely consequences of an idiot law that doesn't work. It's strange that the loudest screaming for these prohibitions is coming from the left (all in the name of keeping America healthy of course), who would never refuse us an abortion even if it were hazardous to our health. Should I start dusting off grandpa's old still?

"It had just never occurred to me that I could simply choose to ban a legal choice for consenting adults in a private place where the public does not have to go, and where workers do not have to work, and then get six other people to agree -- and then just do it," Schwartz says.This apparently is the philosophy of a lot of members of the Chicago City Council --and legislative bodies everywhere--except they're serious about it.
If she ever gets tired of D.C., I would welcome her to come out and run in my ward.
To: peacebaby
Well, I guess we'll all start having house parties. Actually, they are a lot more fun than bars.....and cheaper too.

They can have my beer when they pry its cold, refreshing crispness from my somewhat numb fingers.

"I never thought I could ban drinking just because I didn't like it, but now I know I can,"
LOL, gotta love it. Way to go Schwartz!

notice how the first arcicle refers to her as "D- at large) and the second as a "lone Republican". I think that stands for "District -At Large".

Color me sceptical, but I find it hard to believe that a person this intelligent and principled was elected to city council!
Particularly in Washington.

Read on. She's an opponent of the smoking ban and is trying to demonstrate that ban's absurdity by being absurd.
