As A Wine Drinker I Am Ambivalent About Stopping Beers
It's not one of my top ten issues. And I'm pretty much for live and let live when it comes to what people choose to imbibe. If McSame follows through with this, it may become a civil liberties issue.

4. Maybe he just misread the teleprompter and it was supposed to be
stopping "bears". Normally, as an environmentalist, I would say that we should leave the bears alone, but I do realize that, as man has encroached on the wilderness, occasionally bears can become a nuisance. I would like to see his plans for stopping bears in great detail, though, so that I can be sure that no harm is done.

11. I wonder if Colbert caught this!
He would want further investigation, since he has a thing for bears.

8. Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
I have a taste for most forms of alcoholic beverage, there are a few exceptions.

I agree. This is a civil issue... I will stand behind the beer-drinkers if it comes to this!












Ooops! Now, how did this get in there???

18. Born and raised!
Good call:)

I'm a semi-regular at the beer and ale fests at the Pizza Port in Carlsbad:)

The PBR is from younger, punkier days:)

Here's me and Captain Sensible at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, CA (My home town).

22. Not necessarily
I'm on the other end of the West Coast and I'm very familiar with the Arrogant Bastard Ale. Good stuff. Haven't had any in a while though.

21. Oh my...
My sister's boyfriend is a home brewer...

He already has a home brew blog, but I bet he'd join in here too.
