Lock 'em up! Lock 'em up!
by Ballard Quass
you want a drug war, we'll give you a drug war
Welcome back to the DEA Lounge.
APPLAUSE
You know, the drug warriors don't want a real drug war.
MURMURS
That's right, because a real drug war would crack down, first and foremost, on the use of the two most devastating drugs in American history: alcohol and tobacco.
APPLAUSE
I kid you not.
LAUGHTER
If we launched a REAL drug war, then the hypocritical William Bennetts of the world would be the first so-called "scumbags" to be thrown into the slammer.
GASP
And when Billy complains, we'll be like: "Hey, we're just taking your own advice: cracking down on nasty drugs -- and the scumbag druggies like yourself who use them."
DRUM
LAUGHTER
Mind you, in such a drug war we'd have to leave sentiment behind and get tough.
GASP
The William Bennetts, I'm afraid, will have to be removed from the voting rolls pronto.
APPLAUSE
And have their urine tested for tobacco and alcohol at least once a week by government-provided health experts. We should probably televise that testing, too, so that innocent Americans who are subjected to that debasing procedure for no reason at all (i.e., in the absence of all probable cause!) can see that we're not just singling them out.
LAUGHTER
That's it, Billy, pee: the clock is running and we're going to have to go to a commercial break in a minute.
DRUM
Seriously. Make me head of the DEA. I'd be like: "Throw Billy in the slammer and be sure to take away his voting rights!"
APPLAUSE
And if he threatens to write a book about that so-called "injustice," be sure to confiscate all his book profits and put it towards our drug education efforts!
LAUGHTER
Drug Warrior Boasting:
"I've given up my right to more of nature's godsends than you have!"
I'll be like: You want a drug war, Billy, you got a drug war, homie.
DRUM
Of course there's an even better idea: stop arresting folks for merely possessing substances and start punishing folks for bad behavior.
APPLAUSE
But, of course, law enforcement fights that tooth and nail, because they're the ones who are getting rich off of the misery of arrested Americans.
BOO
Maybe the next time the drug warriors talk about cracking down, we should agree with them -- only insist that the crack down focuses on the mere possession of tobacco and alcohol.
APPLAUSE
What do you want to bet those pious hypocrites will suddenly be screaming about their rights -- that is, the same rights that they have denied the rest of America for the last half a century.
APPLAUSE
My manager's over there like, "Tell some jokes, damn it!" OK, here's one: Why did the drug warrior cross the road? Give up? To make sure that valuable plant medicines were never used by Americans for the purposes of beating depression and improving one's outlook on life.
DRUM
You've been a wonderful audience.
LAUGHTER
But are you patriotic, that's the question?
GASP
But no worries: we're about to find out. We're going to test you all for alcohol and tobacco use on the way out, for the greater good of society, you understand.
You know what they say, folks: Just say "Jawohl, Herr Drug Warrior!"
Of course, we can't force you to urinate for us -- but that won't stop us from viewing you with raised eyebrows from now on should you fail to comply with our reasonable and patriotic request!
Come on, folks, piss -- if not for me, then for your country!
Speaking of piss, it looks like I've pissed off some DEA muscle men over there at the bar. I wonder how many doors they've kicked down to protect Americans from Mother Nature's plants. I tell you, it's a positive bonanza for Home Depot and Lowe's. New doors must be flying off the shelves as real estate agents replace the portals that the DEA has kicked in as part of their efforts to punish Americans for possessing (horror of horrors!) plants!
Just kidding, guys, just kidding!
