Drinking isn't a problem, it's a solution

When asked what he'd want with him if he was stranded on a desert island, Mayor Oscar Goodman of Las Vegas gave the first honest answer to that question ever.

He'd want a bottle of gin.

Unfortunately, the question was asked by a 4th grader.

"'I answered the question honestly and truthfully,' Goodman told reporters. 'I’m not going to lie to children. I’m not going to say I would take a teddy bear or a Bible or something like that.'"

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why politicians have to lie so much.

As it turns out, they're just as dumb as the rest of us.

When you really think about it though, what good is a teddy bear or a Bible? You can't get drunk off of them, I can tell you that much.

And, in all fairness, if you were stranded on a desert island, you'd probably want to be hammered, too.
