A Congressman was once asked about his
attitude toward whiskey.
“If you mean the demon drink that poisons the
mind, pollutes the body,
desecrates family life, and inflames
sinners, then I’m against it.”
“But if you mean the elixir of Christmas
cheer, the shield against
winter chill, the taxable potion that
puts needed funds into public
coffers to comfort little crippled
children, then I’m for it.”
“This is my final position, and I will not
compromise!”
