Our final "Captain Obvious Story" award of the year goes to this recycled AP news report:

Alcohol use among minors is highest in communities where it is easy for them to buy it, a new study has found, according to an Associated Press report.

Ya don't say! I've also heard that people get into far more car accidents in areas where cars are driven!

No great surprise that the director of the study that generated this regurgitated press release came from the People's Republic of Berkeley, CA. And to think people wonder why that state is running such a monster deficit.
