Today in Dust-Up, Paul Roberts and I discuss whether or not the FDA has enough regulatory power. You can guess where I come down, but Paul doubts the agency’s efforts too.

I love the description of you. “Jacob Grier is a bartender and think tank PR manager.”
Jacob, you certainly stand out.
Heh. I thought about going with the more impressive sounding “mixologist,” but decided there’s no reason to fancy it up.
Honestly, if I’d read you were a “mixologist” and didn’t know you, I would’ve assumed you were a DJ or something who mixed different tracks of music.
Maybe that says more about me than it does of you.
