I get free "educational" DVDs each year from the Right Wing thinktank Izzit.org.

This year I get one that has Drew Carey talking about how L.A. shut down a street hotdog vendor for selling Bacon Dogs.

The law is that if you cook bacon to sell, you need to have a sink to wash things. Hot dogs are ok without a sink because they're precooked.

I personally like that law, but I'd be open to an honest debate about its merits.

However, the video does everything it can to obsfucate the issue as if it's about that bacon is unhealthy and fattening.

It seems to me that if you're a political think tank funding free educational DVDs to get your message out, you'd at least have the intellectual honesty to stand by your beliefs and actually confront the issue. If you need to lie about it, it makes me think they don't really believe in their own libertarian ideals.
