House passes beer resloution.

While most of Washington was focused on Tuesday's election results, the House was busy doing something else: Passing a resolution about beer.


House Resolution 1297, sponsored by Rep. Betsy Markey, supports "the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week."


"We've got quite a number of microbreweries and entrepreneurs that are creating jobs, and we wanted to celebrate that this is a craft," Markey told POLITICO.


"I think beer has been a tradition since this country was founded," said Markey. "We wanted to celebrate entrepreneurship — and good beer!"

Fairly soon it will be legalized, and then we'll see real American entrepreneurship. Reduce our dependency on foreign weed!

8. Actually, these microbreweries are small businesses going right up to the...

... monster corporate brewers and snatching away some of their market share. They do it by making some outstanding beer, quality the big boys can't match. I'm all for 'em; good for Nancy Pelosi (again) and the House for this resolution. Not that it helps anyone, I imagine.
