Big Alcohol

What do you get when you mix a wheelbarrow of neo-prohibitionism, a few gallons of bile, and a sickly dose of anti-capitalism?

Bigalcohol.com, purveyors of such gems as this:

Big Alcohol, the industry that makes 50% of its $139 Billion in profits from underage and problem drinkers is trying to send one of its own to Congress. Peter Coors, the man whose company did the impossible - actually lowering the standards for TV commercials - is now apparently running for the U.S. Senate.

I just spent a few minutes looking around that site, and now I have to go take a shower. Ick.

Oh yeah, no thanks to Matthew Edgar for that link.

Maybe someday people like that will hate me, too. I can be Big Zomby, and they can protest me wherever I go.

Ah, to dream the impossible dream.

Just goes to prove that Coors could get away with just about anything he wants to with little to no lasting impacts on his credentials.

I knew Peter Coors and I had to agree on something: US out of my liver!

Now there's a campaign slogan I can go with.
