In the uber-egalitarian sphere, drinking age laws are “ageist” ... Phooey on that.

If Trump chooses me as his running mate, I will push for a drinking age of 18 and a voting age commensurate with the age required for office, in the case of President, age 35.

"I guess I'm just trying to make a statement," Uhalde said. "I'm really not trying to be a rebel or be defiant or cause problems."

And the statement is, "Look at me! I'm an idiot!"

I have a cousin, who is an attorney in Ithaca. Her dad (my uncle) was a professor at Cornell. Maybe I should suggest he retain her.

The 18-year-old drinking age is the brainchild of progressives

The nationwide 18-year-old drinking age was proposed by Ronald Reagan's Secretary of Transportation, Elizabeth Dole, and was signed into law by Reagan.

Yeah, let’s lower the age so there can be more drunks out there killing our loved ones. Stupid is as stupid does. I’d like to see it raised to 121.

The Feds threatened to stop funding highways or something unless the States complied with the Federal age requirement, IIRC.

Wasn't that Reagan?

I dunno. I suppose so. I wasn’t sure if I was correct in the first place.

The Chariot.
The Chariot was the name of the restaurant at the bottom of Dryden Road, in a basement level store.
Best pizza in the world.

Just found out that the Chapter House burned to the ground last April. Royal Palms closed. Dunbars closed.

Sigh.
