Prohibition Started Today in 1920
At midnight of January 16, 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment was put into effect and the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States was prohibited.
The Eighteenth amendment allowed one year after it was passed for it to go into effect. This allowed America to get ready for it. The 18th amendment did not prohibit Americans from owning intoxicating liquors it just prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transportation of them. In the year leading up to prohibition Americans stocked up on beer, wine and liquor as they could legally own them and keep them in their house after the Eighteenth amendment went into effect.
Knowing things were coming to an end the Christmas of 1919 was one of the drunkenness in American history. In the week prior to the act going into effect private golf and yacht clubs give their liquor inventory away to members by way lotteries. In and around Baltimore, Maryland were the famous and established Maryland Rye whiskey distilleries. In the weeks prior to the enforcement of prohibition whiskey was being moved from the government bonded warehouses to the port of Baltimore and loaded on ships waiting to take it to distant and not so distant lands. The whiskey would return a few months later via bootleggers.
Joe the Plumber: Mr. Obama, I want to know what kind of tax breaks you are willing to give hard working grifters like me.
Oh geez.
Chuck Todd is on the train too.
I'd rather read Ambinder's tweets.

100 days my ass. He's had the burden of office for the last two months already.
I loved JTP becoming a "war correspondent" and promptly saying THERE SHOULD BE NO war correspondents. You don't often see auto-oxymoronicness that complete.

Oh god, a clip of chimpy's last speech. He sounds like a schoolchild reading his book report.
Is not that speech vile?

Au contraire, it fits in perfectly with the whole "Now that we're the government, were going to prove that government is bad and unnecessary" shtick.
"Everybody knows the New Deal was a failure."

Wasn't that the greatest?
Seriously -- I absolutely lurved that movie. He and Brendan Gleeson were like an existential Laurel and Hardy.
"Everybody knows the New Deal was a failure."
It sez so right out in Atlas Shrugged.
Ralph Fiennes was high-larious too.
Didn't know he had it in him.

Unemployment had come down 7 percent by just before the war.
Granted, from a historic high, but 7 percent is a lot.

However, I grew to like the film a lot more after I read the book and discovered this multifaceted, buck-the-system woman in Scarlett.
Marcellina
That's the way I felt, too. I hated the way women were expected to be decorative little idiots and liked the way Scarlett turned the system on its head.
Terry C,
(sorry, had to stoke the fire)
me too. i'm always disappointed to reflect that "Wind Done Gone" turned out to be a less than useful companion to the original, as i think the general premise of it could've really continued that sort of against the grain reading of that period. some days i think i should just write my own 'fan-fic' from the perspective of Darcy, the slave who was left out of the movie but played an interesting character in the book.
Watching the Colbert Collectibles video ... HSN shill said Obama proves that "anyone" can be president.
No, sorry, Bush proved that anyone can be president ... even a stupid, smug, selfish, lazy, braindead little creep like him.
I don't want "anyone" in the WH. I want the smartest guy around.
Electing Obama proves that we have enough brains to elect someone smarter than 99% of us are.
Oh, and I want the Obama eggtimer.
what's funny is that the success of the New Deal was in saving capitalism and fending off a popular socialist revolution of some kind.
And I think we'll be referencing the U6 number more often in the future.
What's next? A prime-time special about which countries
Doug Feith wants to invade next?
I say, that's a capital ide!
Obama is the right person for the time. I understand where he's coming from with his approach to things. But he's going to have a hell of a time with what he'll have to deal with and he needs all the support he can get. Understandbly, his staunchest allies will be somewhat cool about it all after what we've been through.
ChiDy, that would be awesome. Do it, please!

I'm not sure I want to spend 3 hours watching Benjamin Button.
I just bought "Rhett Butler's People" which supposedly tells "Gone With the Wind" from Rhett's perspective.
Knowing things were coming to an end the Christmas of 1919 was one of the drunkenness in American history.
i've always wondered about how many people spent all of '19 spending all their extra money on stocking up and ferreting away booze for the coming Long Dryout. was booze illegal to possess, or was there some kind of grandfather clause to how Prohibition got enforced? i suppose i could look it up but i'm lazy and prefer to ask
GW.
I read about halfway through and I don't want to read anymore. Back to the enchiladas. Didn't have enough room in my brand spanking new oven dish so there will be filling around the side to add some extra.
thanks god the chimpster is bored and annoyed by the job.

I've annoyed with him from Day One.
Extreme capitalism seems to do a good job of ensuring that Marxist ideas stay alive.
Cook for about 45 minutes and turn the oven off and lest rest for the afternoon. It's over.
I've annoyed with him from Day One.

I've hated him from Day One.
Just don't bother me and get out of my face.

After 8 long years of horror, I'm looking around like, what the fuck happened?
