Painful elections...now that's something GW really knows something about

in hmmm the south? on Beerdrinker.org is a beer drinker
Did you check out the maps? I recently received an email with the 2004 electoral map alongside a pre-Civil war map showing free vs. slave states. Guess what? Those states which were the last to cling on to slavery were also the same states that voted overwhelmingly for GW.

Nice to see you finally come around on the Drop Top. Although it didn't fare well in our Amber beer test a few months ago, I think it is one of the better Ambers that can be found in pretty much every bar you enter.

Have you registered for the USBDT? Do you have a "group name"?

It was fun hanging out with you guys as a MCFC member. Watched some great ball, had many beers, and many good times. I especially enjoyed the trash-talking from the sidelines - true solidarity!

in windsurfing on Beerdrinker.org is a beer drinker
I'd be up for giving winsurfing a shot - Mid/late May sounds good too (finals will be done, including the obligatory week to recover).

Also I may be able to get a little about equipment etc (friend of a friend type stuff) - My Lady's mgr at work and her husband are avid windsurfers.

I guess both "c-town" and "559" are better than "frezz-hole"

Oh my god that is classic. I want the print copy to stick on my fridge, and show the next batch of J-dubs to come knocking at my door

in BJ’s on Beerdrinker.org is a beer drinker
My Lady and I visited BJ's for happy hour before heading to a Blazer's game a few weeks ago. We opted for pints, given the HH discount, and were quite pleased. I had the "Bad, bad, Leroy Brown" ale, and the "Tatonka" imperial stout. Both were tasty, but the "Leroy" was particularly drinkable and accompanied the buffalo wings nicely. Word of advice: they drizzle ranch directly on the wings, so if you are not a fan of white creamy dressings, order it sans ranch!

My Lady had a few pints of the hefeweizen, which was actually very good. Heady, and almost creamy with a very fruity finish - this was a hefe that just cries to be sipped on the patio on a sunny afternoon.

As far as the digs themselves, I think BJ's is lacking a lot. The walls have that artificial "hometown" feel more suited to an Applebee's or TGI Fridays, than a true brew pub; especially one with such a nice selection of beers. THe cheesy '80's B/W photos in the bathrooms (cindy crawford-esque chick on all fours by a car in the mens' room, shirtless beefcake in the ladies' room) were right on the edge of campy, but the almost painted on brick seemed like it was trying to hard.

Not a bad place, and the beers and HH specials are good enough for me to head back there if in the neighborhood.

Anyone know if BJ's is in some way affiliated with Rock Bottom Brewery downtown? The similarities in the style and design of their menus is uncanny.

in Enjoy the Play on Beerdrinker.org is a beer drinker
I think, given the greater context, you are right on here rick. GW has already "religicized" many debates that wise politicians would keep their noses out of. Same-sex marriage seems to be the biblical question du jour. But GW has seemed to look to the bible for policy decisions before. What about his attack on the California Federal court ruling that the "plede of allegiance" violated church/state separation. He floated the idea of a constitutional amendment at that time too.

His education programs which shift money from "secular" public schools to private or charter schools which could have a religious curriculum.

His initiative to divert funds for social welfare programs to "faith-based" charities.

GW seems to have worked religicizing into his agenda, and that is not a good thing.

*shameless plug alert* Look for Nader's 1st Annual Winter Beer Taste Test coming soon (less soon than it would come were I not in finals) to zeros and ones. My Lady and I have been sampling many of the usual suspects for this inaugural winter beer challenge. There may be a few surprises and upsets, tune in for the results...
