Came across the following headline this morning:
Washington’s Dulles Airport Reopens; National Still Closed
My first thought was, “We have a national still?”, and I got all excited. Then I remembered that we’re talking about the federal government here, which couldn’t make a profit running a whorehouse in Nevada. Hooch produced by the National Still would have a 2% alcohol content, and come in three flavors, carefully determined by a Congressional committee. It would also cost $45 for a fifth, and you’d be limited to one bottle a month.
Government beer would drive me to sobriety.
And it would be fortified with vitamins and minerals, and have 16 large-type warnings on the bottle that you should NEVER EVER drink something that is potentially bad for you.
Don’t they mean REAGAN National Airport? What are they afraid of. Is it like Beetlejuice? If you say Reagan’s name three times he comes back and humiliates the national press? I can promise you it doesn’t, or we’d have had him back a long time ago.
Zombie Reagan in 2012!
I can’t remember her last name; isn’t the Secretary of Beer “Ethyl Something”?
Merman? I think that was a singer the last time the Goverment got too big for its britches.
Apparently, they’ve rebuilt George Washington’s distillery at Mount Vernon and are (or are planning to) produce rye whiskey from it.
This is the sort of national still that I can fully support.
Saw it a few summers ago, Very cool. they were just making wheat flour at the time tho.

Is that an attempt at rye humor?
There’s also a National Beer–actually a local Baltimore brand:

Steevil – I bet even Natty Boh would be better than something brewed by the Feds.
It’d be close. There’s also National Premium, which is OK.

Now filtered through 3 layers of Red Tape–so you won’t have to choke it down!!!
