Kids 3, Police 9

My loyal readers will know that there's no bigger threat to the American way of life than underage drinking. We simply cannot allow children under 21 years of age to imbibe alcohol in any non-cough medicine form. All the ugliness of the Riversplash incident here in Milwaukee could have been avoided if the purveyors at the festival were more vigilant in keeping out youngsters. Good thing that the police stepped in when they did. Who knows how much hooting and hollering and shooting oneself in the foot would have gone on had they not.

Police in Mexico are now following our lead in stamping out the underage drinking menace, with a raid on a Mexico City nightclub. A few kids and officers died, but it was worth it if it makes kids think twice before gathering at social events with alcohol. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Next on the list should be a clampdown on all the American kids going to Tijuana from California.
