Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Thursday, March 18, 2004 :::
The Massachusetts House banned alcohol from the House floor a few years ago, after a late-night budget session which made headlines the next day, not for the content of the budget. Naturally, I opposed this prohibition. Maybe I would have considered it a good idea if I were more impressed with the members when they're sober, but I couldn't really see the harm. Still can't.
If I were going to give a speech in front of the House, I'm sure I'd do better after a drink. Maybe after two, if I were especially nervous about the audience and especially comfortable with the material. And I'd certainly want a drink if I were going to listen to a speech to the House.
