If Pennsylvania bans any Founders beers I will... →
OK, maybe not literally, but this is absurd:
You can buy Fat Bastard wine in Alabama, but you’ll have to go elsewhere for Dirty Bastard beer.
The state alcoholic beverage control agency said Thursday it has banned the sale of that brand of beer in the state because of the profanity on its label.
Beer and wine are commonly sold in grocery and convenience stores and anyone can see the...

I want indentured servants
I belong to that ubiquitous group of people who pay their taxes. I am, as it were, a taxpayer. And, not altogether incidentally, I am an indentured servant. I am forced, by my masters, to fill out paperwork and they do not pay me for this task. Rather, they force me to give them up to half of my earnings through their income tax, property tax, sales tax, gas tax, corporate tax, and an infinite...

Beer makes men smarter.
So say researchers at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
They found that men with a couple of beers under their belts were actually better at solving brain-teasers than their sobre counterparts.

Presdential Candidate Gary Johnson wants to lower... →
Johnson:
“I’m always the guy to advocate for lower ages. I just believe that the lower the age the better you come to grips with what these substances are,” the Libertarian Party presidential candidate said.
“If you can go to Iraq and die, or Afghanistan and die as a service man or women at 18, and you can’t drink — I’m sorry I don’t buy into that.”
…
“Hypothetically no, there shouldn’t...

Mississippi enters 21st century, finally allows... →
The new law permits Mississippians to sell and purchase beer up to 8% alcohol by weight, which translates to roughly 10% alcohol by volume, the more common measurement.

Another scoring title for Evgeni Malkin →
Malkin scored his 50th goal and secured his Art Ross trophy as the Pens topped the Flyers 4-3 today. Not a bad way to end the season. And more evidence for what I have been told is an outrageous claim: Malkin is better than Crosby.
Anyway, we’ll see the Flyers again very soon. Game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs will be Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia at the Console Energy Center.
P.S.: I...
