Caffeine Abuse

Yes folks, it’s been spotted, in the cornfields of Nebraska.

"The wake-me-up stimulant is a fact of life for most people, but caffeine abuse is something Gov. Johanns wants Nebraskans to think about."

Of course not all Nebraskans are overly concerned, as the following comment from Mike Jones, a bloodmobile driver, demonstrates.

"Coffee? I drink a lot of it,” Jones said. “I’ll drink a couple cups in the morning, and then I have my mugs. It’s never bothered my sleep or anything. I don’t think it really matters."

But, hey, what does Mike know?  He’s just a voter.  Let’s look at what Head Nanny of the state of Nebraska, Governor Mike Johanns has to say.

"Gov. Mike Johanns disagrees. In an effort to promote “awareness, detection and prevention of caffeine addiction in Nebraska,” Johanns issued a proclamation declaring March as Caffeine Awareness Month. According to a written statement sent by the Fraser Group, caffeine overdoses can lead to headaches, jitteriness, irritability, difficulties in concentration, mood swings and other maladies."

How much is this going to cost the taxpayers? 

And soon you could be hearing, “Psst, hey buddy, want to buy an espresso?  Meet me in the crop circle third field from the crick.”
