Imagine sippy cups with little paper umbrellas in them
Jonelle marvels at a proposal by Boston City Councillor Stephen Murphy (who felt compelled to tell the Globe he doesn't go to the sort of bar where he might want to slip a roofie in somebody's drink anymore) to require lids on all cocktail drinks:
... It's starting to remind me of the scene in Jesus Camp when the little girl is talking about how she gets made fun of, and why it doesn't really bother her to be thought of as uncool. "Go ahead and judge us, everyone!" Boston similarly says. "Make fun of us for our overreaction to guerrilla advertising schemes and our antiquated blue laws and our proposal to make bartenders serve drinks in sippy cups! We don't care what you think of us!" ...
Ah, but the story does also quote fun-loving Councilor John Tobin, who wonders why the proposal doesn't allow for crazy straws.

"The Applebee's restaurant in Antioch, Calif., turned into Margaritaville for a 2-year-old boy who was given a sippy cup that contained tequila instead of apple juice."
No way! This is a great
No way! This is a great idea! After a few stiff drinks, I spill constantly and end up spending more just to replace the full drink I just knocked over. With sippy cups, no more problems!
The link?
Where is the link to Jonelle's blog? Both links point to the Boston.com article.
Did I fail to hit control-C hard enough again?
Arrgh. The first link now actually goes to her site.
You need to hold your drink better, Adam
