State Of Ohio May Build A Bar For State Lawmakers!

In a precedent setting move that will almost certainly start a wave of copy-cat behavior, the state of Ohio has announced that officials are debating whether they should build a bar in the basement of the statehouse!

Poor Bastard  lawmakers from around the state are rallying support for the move saying it would cut down on their entertainment expenses and help prevent embarrassing incidents involving drunken Poor Bastard politicians such as the recent arrest of Ohio Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, who was picked up for drunk driving while in the company of a teenage stripper. Blood tests performed on Poor Bastard Mecklenborg showed that he was not only loaded with alcohol but Viagra as well!

Poor Bastard Robert Mecklenborg, an Ohio state representative, is seen here after his recent arrest for drunk driving. Police reports indicate the Poor Bastard  was "loaded with alcohol and Viagra" after being found in the company of a young stripper...









If approved Ohio would become the first state to operate a statehouse bar. Opponents say the move would be inappropriate because schoolchildren frequent the facility for field trips and other events.

To which supporters have responded that Drunken Poor Bastards are already a fixture at state functions, where alcohol flows freely and elected officials are regularly seen staggering around as they work the room glad-handing and schmoozing with wealthy campaign donors and other Malingering Poor Bastards!...

And besides, what school-aged child in Ohio hasn't seen their own Poor Bastard parents stumbling around the house with an Old Milwaukee tall-boy clutched in their hand?

If approved the High Council of the Fraternal Order of the Poor Bastard is prepared to recognize the state of Ohio as nation's first Genuine Poor Bastard State of Affairs for its bold effort to navigate the uncharted waters of drunken statesmanship!
