Update III: A third update on a story about — gasp — beer and liquor possibly being served in the statehouse? Yep. The AP chimes in this time with a lengthy piece as debate continues over whether a bar will open in the statehouse basement. Citing hype-filled stories and a media blitz, the caterer in charge of the current cafe says the whole topic has gotten out of hand, as evidenced by a commission which is now weighing the merits and drawbacks of letting lawmakers, who drink in their office anyway, buy a rum and coke down the hall.
Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, makes the most sense. Speaking to the AP, he said: “My point of view is Prohibition ended in the 1930s, so what’s the big deal? We’re not talking about putting George Jones and Willie Nelson on the jukebox and having people spending all their waking hours in the Capitol Cafe, drowning their sorrows. But the idea that there’s alcohol in the Statehouse should be completely unsurprising to anyone.”

Now they’ll be able to bring their guns to the bar. It just makes sense.
Is that La Cave’s beer cooler? Cause if the State House gets a bar like that, I’m worried all of our Congresspeople will become insufferable microbrew hipster assholes. Instead of just regular assholes.
