Syndicated columnist Marc Munroe Dion wonders why we're worked up over a bag of cocaine found at the White House.
The White House was, as required, horrified by the presence of cocaine within the sacred precincts of democracy. So were numerous commenters who apparently do not live in America where the public is gobbling drugs like they are hot wings.
Now, imagine any random group of Americans, some rich, some poor, some working class. Turn 'em upside down and shake 'em. What falls out of their pockets? Weed. Meth. Heroin. Pills. Crack. Ecstasy. The drugstore. Maybe even an old-fashioned guy in the crowd with a half pint of whiskey in his pocket.
Sure, Joe Biden's kid is a junkie, but who among us is not a blood relative to someone who is sucking up whatever the mules haul across the Mexican border? You're not? What are you, Amish? And by the way, if you turned 10 Amish people upside down and shook 'em, I'm sure you'd get at least a little sumpin' sumpin'. I bet some of that Jan. 6 insurrection crowd took along a little something for courage, too.
I have almost no history of illegal drug abuse, but during my 20s and 30s, I drank like I was being paid to drink. I pulled out of it when I got married because you have to. No woman gets married so she can wait for you to get home from a bar. It's not like I don't understand the territory. I've gone to the movies with two cold beers in my coat pockets.
