Drinkhacker.com is planning a Parade to Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition on 05 December, and they're looking for a Bay Area resident turning 75 and another turning 21 on December 5th to act as Grand Marshalls.

...if they could find someone turning 96, they'd have someone who actually was legally allowed to drink on that day!

Yes, this one gets the "politics" tag, among others. The Repeal of Prohibition marked the end of the last Big Wave Of Moralizing Religious Stupidity that screwed up this country.

It's now the 25th on the East Coast, and time, I think, for a moment of quiet introspection.

( In this time of joy and celebration, in this frenzy of feasting and gift-giving, let us remember, always, who was born on this day, and the words he spoke, those words that still ring true after all these long years. )
