Driven to Drink 0

Update: I learned this morning (Friday) that this was satire. Two points:

  • That will teach me to surf the web when I’m supposed to be listening to the presenter. (No, it won’t).
  • It should be true. Someone of position, and not just second-tier bloggers, needs to call out the stupid.

A word to the wise.

Public health officials are urging Americans to exercise caution if they choose to participate in “drinking games” during the first Republican primary debate this Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio.

“You simply can’t drink every time one of these guys says something silly,” said Surgeon General Vivek Murthy during a Wednesday morning press conference. “We’ve got three candidates who are prone to gaffes — Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Scott Walker — and then a half-dozen obscure goofballs vying with Donald Trump for a little media attention. It’s just a formula for disaster.”

Afterthought:

Silly is right.

Much of what these clowns say is silly–not harmless-silly, but, rather, schoolyard-bully-silly. They need to be called out on it, and you can be certain that the “both sides do it” crowd has no interest in doing any calling out.
