The Next Best Thing To Burning Our Tax Dollars
From the AP, Crook -- oh, sorry, Cook -- County (borrowed that from a commenter from today), Illinois is using a federal grant for an advertising campaign to inform people...big surprise to all...that water or milk is healthier than sugary drinks.
On a positive note, I'm sure there are a handful of people in Cook County who are unaware of this SCREECHINGLY OBVIOUS FACT -- because they remain in a coma or vegetative state.
If you're so stupid that this is not glaringly obvious to you, you should probably be removed from the gene pool before you contaminate it. Wow.

"I'm sure there are a handful of people in Cook County who are unaware of this SCREECHINGLY OBVIOUS FACT -- " but they obviously work for the gov't already. oops you already said, in a vegetative state.

Of course, the government can screw it up even more - and has already done so. Take milk, a basically healthy drink for kids, and stuff it full of sugar. Make sugar-filled strawberry and chocolate milk so ubiquitous in the schools that kids refuse to drink normal milk.
All done with the best of intentions, of course...

Actually, you can still win, but you have to do something so blindingly stupid as to take not only yourself, but also your progeny.

Chicago style political payoff with borrowed money that we are on the hook to repay. How much do you want to bet that the advertising agency has made donations to the Democrats? It's legal.

So many local pols are in jail from the Chicagoland area, it's a running joke. Chicago is so nice, it's such a shame.
