Watch out, Nanny Bloomberg — you have competition. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin took to the Senate floor this afternoon to address his energy (drink) policy, and that policy is a ban on the drinks. It’s the continuation of a crusade he began last spring; perhaps a couple of energy drinks might move things along so the Senate could move forward with some other important business.

RT @davidhauptmann: Durbin is apparently scandalized that 5 hour energy ads promote the product as helpful.

More people than that die protecting the U.S. consulate in just one day. Aren’t you relieved to know that Senator Durbin is looking out for lives here at home?
Sen Durbin to the rescue! RT @davidhauptmann: How ever has America survived all these years without regulation of energy drinks?
