From foie gras to saggy pants to smoking in public, at home, or anywhere, government officials across the country seem to suffer from an irresistable urge to boss us around, forbidding us to do what we want to do and ordering us to do what they want. There may not be any solution other than rolling your eyes and ignoring the regulation of the week. So, while you wash down your bacon dog with unpasteurized milk amidst the fumes of an unfiltered cigarette, sit back and enjoy Drew Carey's take on the nanny state, courtesy of the folks at Reason.TV.

Great piece and I enjoyed the video. Native Clevelander Drew Carey's narration is great. Pretty soon their might be a ban on cheering against another team at a professional football game. Wait, I actually think this ban is starting rear its head at some high school level sports programs. Where you can't boo at the opposing team.
