So, to summarize: These girls had to leave the bright red state of Georgia to sell their lemonade in that bluest of states, New York. And, the blue-staters also award the girls scholarships on account of their boot-strappiness.

I'm guessing that most of their business came from creepy looking older balding men. Just a hunch.

They're not going to make much money charging only half a cent for each serving.

I guess they made it up in volume. They came in with fists full of cash - and that was before they started getting all the stuff on account of boot-strappiness. (All snark aside, I do remember seeing this and thinking this was talking point wacky land.)

So you've managed to google a bunch of articles on the same story. Good job I guess.

Clever article, and a good example of a fallacious conservative argument.

1) A lemonade stand has to deal with government regulations, some of which are absurd and many of which obstruct the search for profit.

2) A lemonade stand is like a small business, which has the same problems with government regulations.

3) A small business is like a major corporation, which has the same problems with government regulations.

4) Therefore, leave Goldman Sachs alone!

Yes that and lemonaid stands fall under the jurisdiction of local government and Georgia is such a Big Government Liberal hotbed.

Last year, the war on lemonade stands came to the forefront of the national debate.

No, it really didn't.

Look banning bake sales and hassling li'l kids running lemonade stands is dumb and a good example of nanny staters and local officials with waaaay too much time on their hands.

That carefully noted, in terms of national priorities it's never really cracked the top 10 list.

There was that BS "Obama says you didn't build your lemonade stand, l'il girl" agit prop on FOX and Mitt's famous "Lemon, Wet. Good." thing, of course, but that's only tangentially related.

The incident they reference in this article happened last year. Old news is so exciting.

This article is based on a single instance of over-zealous officials harshing some pre-teens buzz with overregulation. I know the plural of "anecdote" is "data," but shouldn't you have at least two examples of this kind of thing before you make broad accusations? I mean, shouldn't you at least send James O'Keefe out dressed as a pimp to sell lemonade before you go full poutrage?

quatchi: There was that BS "Obama says you didn't build your lemonade stand, l'il girl" agit prop on FOX

You've actually made my day - I didn't hear about any of this!

The best part of this comic is that they're showing just how correct Obama's statement was all along. No man (or, little girl) is an island:

I have it on good authority that the vast majority of lemonade stands are SOCIALIST, with the means of production provided at no costs by the state (mom)!

I don't think people should be so quick to judge those local governments. I remember the times I've bought a glass of lemonade from some child, then knocked it over. There's a certain pure, innocent joy in knocking over a child's lemonade stand, seeing their eyes well up with tears, waiting for the explosion of crying. When you feel your smile growing more and more as the child gets ever closer, their body's shaking with grief and frustration and sorrow, tears leaking down their eyes, their mouth moving without making a sound, unable to comprehend what just happened to them. Then it hits, with a long plaintive wail, followed by the stream of tears, the runny nose, the blubbering, the sobbing. It's like a ray of sunshine bursting through the clouds, warms the heart and soul. It makes life worth living.

^^^ I don' know what century that cartoonist lives in, but the lemonade stands in my neighborhood charge 75 cents.

Read the right wing nut ball article that Terry Savage wrote where she saw kids giving away free lemonade and she started yelling at them. She wrote that the reason our economy is farked up is because of the kind of mindset the "free lemonade" kids have.

I know it sounds like I'm kidding but I'm not.

1. Pass law allowing children to be exempt from regulations and safety inspections

2. Hire thousands of kids in groups no larger than three to work in "micro-sweatshops" for twenty hours a day.

3. Make Mad profits, and Uncle Sam can't do squat about it.

Mind if I do an ADHD-inspired threadjack? It's sort of on-point, since an enterprising kid could make a bundle doing this in his or her spare time:

So anyway my 9 year old car had some of those foggy yellow headlamp lenses which I'd thought of getting cleaned one of these days. Got a coupon in the mail from a Honda dealer -- $69.95, $30 off the normal price. fark that noise.

Spent $9.00 at the local Rockler store on two sheets of Micro-mesh, 8000 and 12000 grit; I know they invented that stuff for cleaning aircraft windshields. Cut each 3x6 sheet in half. Washed each lens, started with 8000 grit lubricated with a little soapy water, finished with 12000, and they're clear now. Took me maybe 10 minutes. The used 3x3 squares look like they'll do a few more headlights.

A kid doing this for money might wanna start with 6000 grit to save time and carry along a half-cleaned half-cloudy junkyard lens for show.

I bet a kid could make a couple hundred on a good weekend doing this for $15 a pop...

It's still enforcing the "You didn't build this" lie though.

Any person in any country in the world who builds a successful business does so in part due to the infrastructure (both physical and legal), the educated workforce and the stability inherent to that country.

That that truism could get twisted into "Obama says you didn't build that" or in the case of the toon you linked to "You didn't create this business"* is madness and proof that the so-called liberal media is really just a bunch of corporate shills for the most part with a pro-status quo/powers-that-be agenda who have largely abrogated their responsibilities as the 4th estate.

Mrtraveler01: Glenn McCoy isn't known for being an intelligent person.

His comics are painfully unfunny. I've mentioned this before, but I seriously thought he was a liberal that parodied the most knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing GOP talking point on every issue. Seriously. For months I thought he was making fun of Republicans.

See, I thought McCoy was like a Farker that posts the "hands of my medicair!1!" photo so we can all point and laugh, but in reality he's actually just the guy in the photo holding the sign.

They tuk er stands.

Let's rebuild the Markov Chains, and auto-dadaDERP today's AT homepage and see what we get:

In the unintended consequence to turn the first person on solving real change how they learn make Work clause. Rights include the biggest fundraising for my daughters have to been named for the nation?

Riots have a mystery senior French diplomat. Rival extremist shiate, a heck of baked goods by midday.

The exclusive result is oppositional art, to enforce top free enterprise system. the right to earn almost as a liberal, to build a perfect society of Motherhood Program. Snacks are not flat, in the area; earlier this means that they're a television curiosity: Middle manufacturing jobs.

This weekend, its beloved Obama economy, the result is completely a pro-Romney by making power.

Mrtraveler01: But yeah, his cartoons remind me of the ones from The Onion.

Yes, but those are actually funny because they are intentionally bad.

As long as I have to take off my shoes and be digitally stripped naked to fly on a plane, these asshats can stfu about defying the overreach of government buerocracy (sp). Every business needs a permit- that's also part of American capitalism. Shame it cost so much, though.

I'm still here, waiting on these lysteria-farmer chicks' tax returns and birth certificates before I can pass judgment.

And waiting...
