I may have posted this earlier in the year but wanted to be sure. So here is a chart showing the growing centralization of beer ownership in the world. Quality is sure to suffer eventually.

Gay community apologizes to Amy Koch for ruining her marriage – Minneapolis News – The Blotter
Hypocrisy is a bitch.
The state GOP has lost their senate leader. Turns out she has a problem keeping her marriage vows and was screwing one of her staff members.
Ironically, she is one of those staunch defenders of “traditional marriage” that are trying to alter the Minnesota state constitution to only permit marriages such as hers. No, not unfaithful, loveless, and false, but between a man and a woman only.
So, the gay community did they should in the marketplace of bigoted, right wing sociopaths: they apologized.
You know, because anyone who believes that gays should marry is surely in favor of destroying any other kind of marriage. And certainly Senator Amy Koch would never have allowed herself to make the monster with two backs with anyone other than her wedded husband if it weren’t for those darn gays she hates so much.
Right?

No, really, give it a listen.
Let there be LEDs – CBS News
It occurs to me that if today’s GOP were in charge a century ago, we’d never have been allowed to drive cars. The Luddites apparently hate progress in all forms, including light bulbs.
This, of course, after they are their corporate cronies helped destroy the Eastern European light bulb industry that was once capable of making long-lasting incandescent bulbs. Oops!
For One Ala. Farmer, Workers Are Still Scarce : NPR
Individually, I might feel bad for some of Alabama’s farmers. Not all of them got on board with the “let’s vilify brown people” program. All in all though, I am glad to see their economy suffer. If you reap hatred, go ahead and sow it by yourselves, you bastards.
BBC News – Bethlehem shepherds giving up watching flocks
Who would have thought that the job of a Bethlehem shepherd would be a dying art?
Granted, there are probably more reasons than the article gives, but still another sign of our modernizing times.
Vice President: This is what a real opportunity society looks like | The Des Moines Register | DesMoinesRegister.com
This is what pisses off Republicans like Mitt Romney. Some Americans want to stand up for opportunity. Others want folks to let them grab all the gold they can without responsibility.
I know I give a damn about hope more than greed. How about you?

Your tax dollars truly at work.
Daily Kos: Mitt Romney: Joe Biden’s vision of dignity and opportunity is ‘a fantasyland’
Mitt Romney hates the American Dream and democracy. Don’t believe me? Read this.
And to think he’s the “sane” GOP choice these days.
What $40 Means to Americans Across the Country | The White House
The House GOP doesn’t care about you. Want proof? They supposed no-taxes party has already derailed plans to tax millionaires to pay for unemployment extensions and tax cuts for middle class families.
Now they won’t pass a bill to do either thing if they can’t get a guarantee on an oil pipeline that will only benefit foreign oil companies.
What does another $40 in your paycheck mean to you? Tell the White House so they can share your story.
