I just ran across this article about the Fairfax County police and the Virginia Department of Alcohol Beverage Control going into bars and arresting people for being intoxicated.

Apparently 9 people were arrested in Reston and Herndon, Va over the holidays.

Sheesh…can’t the pigs find a better use of their time? Of course they are probably feeling emboldened by the general tone being set in this country by Dubya and his AG…

You may as well be arrested in a public restroom for indecent exposure.
