In a move that to say the least is filled with irony, The Office of National Drug Control Policy, which is located in the White House, announced yesterday that real meth lab progress is being made in light of pressure brought by state law enforcement on national drugstore chains to limit access to the ingredients used to make this horribly addictive drug.  (The A.P. reports that data shows, for example, that workers testing positive for meth has dropped 31% over the first five months of this year.

State AG's and local law enforcement have been the ones on the front lines battling the drug stores - like Rite Aide and Wal Mart - and in state after state have succeeded in getting their state legislature's to do the right thing.  NAAG has held conferences that reached across partisan lines and the job is getting done even as the White House, no doubt under the sway of the chain stores, did nothing other than propose budget cuts to state and local law enforcement. 

This election year, the chains will do their utmost to punish those AG who did the right thing.

'Twas ever thus.
