Rule Number Two:
If I were Ruler of the World I'd get rid of the Puritanical "no sale of booze on Sunday" law the second I was sworn in -- maybe during, if my inauguration was on a Sunday. As far as I know it's the only Blue Law left, the last vestige of the Natural Law based morality doctrines that, in addition to drinking, made it illegal to dance, fiddle, or gamble on Sunday as well. Since the other Blue Laws have been repealed, and in theory The State cannot let The Church tell you when and where to get your groove on, I say bring on the cocktails. It's a natural fit! What goes better with a Sunday night of bettin' and dancin' and fiddlin' anyway? Hooch, my friend. A smokey scotch. A perky yet bashful Chardonnay.
