News flash: There’s money in illegal drugs

So "reports" the Las Vegas Sun today in a blockbuster story on how Mexican drug cartels sell meth in Las Vegas.

When I say "blockbuster" I mean it in a 1997 sort of way. The Sun "reporting" it in 2011 is kinda like suddenly noticing that there are a lot of Starbucks stores in Las Vegas.

(Not that meth and a cup of Joe are equal, of course.)

You can see the Sun's insightful "reporting" here, if you want to. Be sure to catch their Deep Thought Of The Day: Mexican drug cartels sell meth in Las Vegas because "there's money in it."

There's money in illegal drugs? Oh my!
