Lisa Madigan No Fan of Sparks

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan joined 24 other attorneys general in calling on MillerCoors to stop the release of their new "Sparks Red" liquid speedball alcoholic energy beverage. Madigan cited studies linking Sparks and similar drinks to underage drinking, health risks, and Tankboy's love of the product (well, not that last one). [WBBM AM]

Sparks - delicious. Love the warning of "not to exceed two in a day."

I don't even know what Red Sparks is yet, but I am so goddamn excited by the idea of a new Sparks flavor.

I first red this as Madigan not liking Sparks (the band).

First she came for the Sudafed,
and I didn't speak up because I was not a crystal meth addict
(anymore)
Then she came for the Sparks drinkers,
and I didn't speak up because I was not a Sparks drinker
(though it was the only thing that got me through all 3 days of Pitchfork this year)
Then she came for the coffee drinkers,
and by that time there was no one awake to speak up.

Navin, I thought the same thing.

Due to my lack of sleep I saw MADIGAN SPARKS together in the sentence, and thought it could have been the name of another PALIN child.

For some afternoon fun, findout what name you would have;
