THE E.U. FOLLIES: For pure hilarity, it's tough to beat the socialist bilge oozing from the simple minds at the European Union. The EUrinals (as Mark Steyn calls them) have sought to subject member nations to regulations on matters ranging from the thickness of tomato sauce to the curvature of bananas. Now the E.U. may have gone too far. According to
the British press, E.U. busybodies may bar (no pun intended) pubs and taverns from having happy hours. Needless to say,
tavern keepers and
drunks are not happy.
Folly of this magnitude is the stuff of rebellion. Should the E.U. enact this encroachment on the free market and the advancement of cirrhosis, I recommend pubs in E.U. nations abandon Happy Hours and replace them with F.U. E.U. Hours while retaining happy hour pricing. Cheers!
