Politically Incorrect idea of the Year

Today at PT, when Mark asked what I was going to do this weekend, I told him, "Play in the garden, ... something that I can do while drinking beer." He said, "Go to a baseball game?" I told him no, you still have to drive home. He said, "Yeah, I guess you can only sit around the living room if you're drinking."

I immediately had a PI inspiration. All of the activities that people used to do while enjoying a beer or two - go to a ball game, boating, camping, just hang out in the park - it's all been ruined because of the insanely over-the-top DUI laws. MADD is to blame for America's increasing obesity problem! Someone (Lott?) should do a study to find the correlation between MADD-inspired, zero-tolerance, over-the-top, nanny-state DUI laws and obesity.

When I told Mark, he immediately saw the humor and logic in it. All of those people who have gotten limbs amputated because of Type II diabetes - can we pin them all on MADD?
