This is great

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman told a group of fourth graders on Monday that if he was marooned on a desert island the one thing he would want to have with him is a bottle of gin.

And when a student quizzed Goodman about his hobbies he replied that "drinking" was one of them, said Mackey Elementary School Principal Kamala Washington, who was present for the mayor's visit.

Mark this well, gentlemen... This is the sad, sad consequence of introducing honesty into politics

lol honestly, that's pretty tame for this town.

Alcohol is pretty low on the list for vices that are readily available.
