Group Pushes Restricting of Cold Medicine:
An association representing more than 36,000 pharmacies is issuing guidelines for possible federal legislation to restrict sales of cold medications containing a substance often used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine — or "speed."
Amphetamines are speed.
Methamphetamines are crank.
But that's just the word on the street, as filtered by a blogger who only hears the silence on the cul-de-sac.
Meanwhile, the media gives play to a group espousing more regulation. Shocker. Put out the Drudge siren. Speaking of which, why does everyone call the rotating light image the "Drudge siren"? Sirens make a sound. The Drudge Siren does not. Why does the blogging world insist upon destroying the semantic difference between
light and
siren.
