Shares of InBev, Miller Brewing, Coors, Seagrams, and most other marketers
of alcoholic beverages saw their stock prices drop sharply, almost to penny
stock status on the Inauguration of President Obama. According to market
insiders, the demand for alcoholic beverages will continue to plummet due
to what one insider termed "A new atmosphere of hope".

In a related story, CNN has learned that shipments to the United States of
marijuana and cocaine were recalled to their places of origin. The American
demand for these illegal products is also in steep decline.

Stay tuned to CNN for updates on these stories.

3. Your post, albeit slightly silly, is of hope.

I posted some hopelessness, then thought better of it. It's your thread...

5. Silly was the point, with a bit of hope

This is, after all, The Lounge.

4. I dunno about the coke

Sure, booze is a drug of despair. But coke? Man, that poison freakin' runs on hope. Hope plus coke is like a speedball all on its own.

Pot sure wouldn't taper off. I think it's for people who don't know what hope is. It's hope-transcendent.

6. Is the word "satire" in your vocabulary?

Intellectually, I agree 100%. But, dude, lighten up!
