IDEA: One of my more morally elastic friends might want to try this. I'd be interested in hearing the results.
"OH BARTENDER....? [Jonah Goldberg]
Long time readers of my column know the story. When Marion Barry was re-elected Mayor of Washington DC -- largely by rallying his most loyal constituency, the "ex-offender community" -- my friends and I were at a bar. Convinced that Western Civilization was at an end, we decided to come up with a drink to commemorate Barry's victory. Mixing the most potent ebony elixirs we could – equal parts bourbon, Jägermaister, Kaluha and Coke (Coca Cola, that is) – we came up with the Marion Barry and the appropriate tag line: "So black not even The Man can keep it down!" It’s best not consumed at all but, if you must, order it as a shot. I bring this up because it looks like Mr. Barry is in trouble again, and right when he’s running for office."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
