Back in the day (Andrew Jackson day...I know, Rita. Back in the day (Andrew Jackson days that is) the voting places were the bars and taverns in the counties. And free drinks were offered for votes. Just in the last few years here the law has been changed in that no beer store or grocery store has to close until 7:00. We close at seven. And thank you for not voting for that Socialist Chicago thug.Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944074653548750642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-85515272788076750072011-11-09T19:51:20.524-05:002011-11-09T19:51:20.524-05:00Indiana has the same "blue" laws. No sa...Indiana has the same "blue" laws. No sale of alcohol on Sundays, but you can order it in bars and restaurants. AND, you can buy cold beer only in liquor stores 6 days a week, but those same liquor stores aren't allowed to sell cold sodas, so all the liquor stores have vending machines just outside their doors.<br /><br />Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?<br /><br />I expect the law will be changed since Indy is hosting the next Super Bowl, so imagine the thousands of tourists coming here and finding out they can't buy their tailgate beer on Super Bowl Sunday.<br /><br />And, of course, the Sunday sales are also limited on CAR LOTS. You cannot sell a car on Sunday in the state of Indiana. <br /><br />Don't ask me why, you'd think you wouldn't be able to buy a car if you had gotten drunk on the days you can buy alcohol. <br /><br />At least one of the better limitations is that even the bars can't sell or serve alcohol on election day until after the polls close at 6 pm. <br /><br />No drunk voting.<br /><br />That law must have been overlooked in 2008 when Indiana went slightly to Obama. Drunk voting is my explanation for how that happened. But then again, even drunk I wouldn't have pulled that stunt.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121530659338322937noreply@blogger.com
