While I wait for Stephen Harper to invite me for a beer, Barack Obama gets encouragement to drink American.
The encouragement comes from a Mass. congressman, who goes so far as to offer a suggestion as to what it is they should drink when he, professor Gates, and Sgt. Crowley have themselves a sit down to let bygones be bygones in what amounted to a 911 call turned racial. The congressman suggested–and was ultimately rejected–they should sit down to a bottle or 3 of American-owned Sam Adams. For Obama’s part, though, he’s a Bud Light man, it appears. The other two are apparently fans of foreign-owned beer as well. I fully expect today’s or tomorrow’s headline to read something to the effect of “Obama is anti-American; elects to support foreign breweries”. Hey, as long as he stays the hell away from Molson, he’s alright in my book–you can leave that sludge to Crowley. He’ll take it.
