Sneakily and with little fanfare or major publicity, the Bush Administration has declared a new war, this time on methamphetamine. With new full-scale laws about distribution, transport, and other tactical legalities that'll make it just that much harder to get a damn bottle of Sudafed in this country forever. Even the Patriot Act is invoked in this new initiative:

The “Combat Methamphetamine Act” contained in the USA PATRIOT Act reauthorization legislation makes certain drugs used in manufacturing methamphetamines “scheduled listed chemical products” harder to obtain in unlimited quantities and easier for law enforcement to track.

And, of course, there's also a new way to reach the kids: a slick, ominous-looking website with some new-age horror movie overtones (Think "Hostel," "The Ring," "Consumerist") and quirky in-yo-face! facts that'll surely resonate with the disaffected youth of the Midwest living in broom closets and surviving on a steady diet of kitty litter and Capri Sun. But if tricked-out Java script design photos of rotting mouths and catchy messages like "Got Meth?" don't convince impressionable youth to stay sober, then a mock, ironic magazine cover will surely do the trick. Who knew the Administration was so subversive?
