Or these AGs are motivated by personal fears; something of a personal nature they do not wish to be reminded, or desire to conceal, if only from themselves.

There is the condition of lawful drug dependency under a supervising physician where mood altering or psychotropic prescription drugs are lawfully prescribed as medication to treat a mental instability, malignant disposition, paranoia or clinical personality disorder.

Perhaps some of these AGs fear ‘coffee/table awareness’ in the commons that there are professionals in the law under the influence of such “medication.”

That such a clever coffee cup parody would cause these AGs to behave in such a manner begs the question of what’s hiding in their medicine cabinet.

Who and what were they really trying to protect? You? Me? Our enumerated rights under the Constitution? Sure doesn’t look like it.

It looks like a leap from a state of paranoia to a state of idealizing narcissism. What mental condition spawns a vanity that so infantilizes the viewing of coffee mugs in the public commons that it must be banned?

Perhaps they fear the institutionalized malice and childishly simplistic indifference to human suffering that animates the professional practice of drug enforcement will be turned upon them.

Perhaps it’s merely a matter of protecting the dormancy of their personal conscience should they personally have a prescribed prescription drug dependency.

What else would they be afraid of?

Anyone else reminded of the adage, “A guilty conscience needs no accuser.”

The capacity of government officials for inconsistency, irrationality, megalomania and craven, herd behavior never ceases to out do its immediate past performance. It’s as if these political potentates actually endeavor to look more stupid and childish than their predecessors.

On entering office does each one take an oath to simply ignore the Bill of Rights? Do the rights of individuals even get onto the officials’ radar screen in their decision-making regarding what and what not to prosecute, oppose or support?

Melvin: At least the AGs in the Tobacco lit were motivated by greed. This lit is motivated by posturing.

Bumper, the state AG’s (not all the same ones now as then, but…) lost all sense when they signed on to the Tobacco litigation in he late 1990’s…

As of 11:30 pm 8/5/2013 this item is available for purchase on Urban Outfitter website. $14 seems a tad expensive. You can get the same item on Amazon for $12.95 with free shipping. Personally I like the Prescription Beer Koozie for only $8.87. Clearly having even a lick of sense is still not a requirement to be the AG in my beloved home state.

DOUBLE SURPRISE!

I just googled “prescription coffee” images.

WHO DO THESE IMBECILES THINK THEY ARE? GOD?

Several design variations on exactly the same mug are being sold by at least 80 companies right now on the web.

Surprise!

I just downloaded the picture. After about 5 minutes of photo shop to flatten it out, I’m going to print it and put it on a mug that I will carry all over (and I don’t even like coffee).

Just in case you are wondering, silicon sealer makes an excellent glue for .attaching the paper AND if you are careful to rub a THIN coat over the front and cover the edges, it is reasonable water proof.

How to get it off? Brute power. So don’t use your mother’s heirloom DAR mug.

Next they’ll ban “No Trans-Fats Coffee” mugs.

Now that Urban Outfitters is not in the “Prescription: Coffee” mug business anymore, I see a void in a what should be a profitable enterprise. Somehow I don’t think the presence or lack of “prescription: coffee” mugs will have an effect on the junkies that wash down 4 Oxycontin pills with 6 shots of tequila.
