Another great zinger from Uncle Jesse. I just wish I was old enough to watch his commentaries on WRAL...

BTW I forgot to get back to you on that

You said:
"If it was up to me, the next Constitutional Amendment would proclaim that all restaurants in all states of the Union must serve sweet tea, with at least, but not limited to, 1/2 cup of sugar per gallon of tea."
Did you see that someone in Ga. actually put forth a bill to make sweet tea mandatory in the state?
It was a Democrat, but I just had to laugh.
