Presdential Candidate Gary Johnson wants to lower... →
Johnson:
“I’m always the guy to advocate for lower ages. I just believe that the lower the age the better you come to grips with what these substances are,” the Libertarian Party presidential candidate said.
“If you can go to Iraq and die, or Afghanistan and die as a service man or women at 18, and you can’t drink — I’m sorry I don’t buy into that.”
…
“Hypothetically no, there shouldn’t...

Mississippi enters 21st century, finally allows... →
The new law permits Mississippians to sell and purchase beer up to 8% alcohol by weight, which translates to roughly 10% alcohol by volume, the more common measurement.
It’s certainly a step forward, but people in Mississippi still won’t be able to buy some of my favorite beers including Dogfish Head’ Palo Santo Marron, which weighs in at 12% ABV. And it will probably still...

Another scoring title for Evgeni Malkin →
Malkin scored his 50th goal and secured his Art Ross trophy as the Pens topped the Flyers 4-3 today. Not a bad way to end the season. And more evidence for what I have been told is an outrageous claim: Malkin is better than Crosby.
Anyway, we’ll see the Flyers again very soon. Game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs will be Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia at the Console Energy Center.
P.S.: I...

A new black market in laundry detergent →
Over the past few months, the police force in Prince George’s County, Maryland has been dealing with a strange rash of robberies. Thieves have been going into grocery stores and drug stores, loading their carts up with Tide laundry soap, and then rushing out the door where they have a get-away car waiting. As Anthony Randazzo explains, it turns out that the detergent is street currency for...

I would add that this shows that Paul has fervent supporters who probably won’t be won over by another candidate. And that a lot of Paul’s supporters are young, which bodes extremely well for the future. I think Paul once said something along the lines of ‘No army...

New Belgium is building a brewery in North... →
Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing more of their brews on the East Coast, specifically Pennsylvania. I love their beer (I had some in D.C.) but it’s impossible to get around here. I want to try their Biere de Mars so very badly.
