Sometimes a beer is just a beer—except in politics, where beer may signify any old thing we want it to. It is the most abused of all the spirits. Since the early '70s, the typical voter has often been referred to as Joe Six-Pack. Beer made the cover of Newsweek magazine as part of a discussion of whether candidate Barack Obama (represented by a leaf of arugula) could connect with the common man (represented by a frosty mug). This was an extension of the political sorting technique of describing Democratic candidates who appeal to upscale voters as "wine track" candidates and those who appeal to blue-collar voters as being on the "beer track." George W. Bush, according to some, was a more appealing candidate than Al Gore because a poll showed that he was the candidate people would prefer to have a beer with.
So what are we to make of President Obama's invitation to professor Henry Louis Gates and Sgt. James Crowley for a beer Thursday night at the White House? First, like the whole Gates-Crowley affair, this beer detente is another infusion in this summer's stimulus act for columnists (it's a bipartisan bill; Sarah Palin has done her part as well). The night is also a boon to headline writers: The Prof and Cop Hops Stop! Hot Heads Share a Frosty! Prof, Cop Quaff With Barack After Squawk.
But is there any meaning to squeeze out of the choice of beverage? Serving sherry would not have been the right call. The president has already been accused of siding with the professor. So did he choose beer to compensate? During the campaign, when Obama was seen as the "wine track" candidate, he worked to correct that impression by having a beer in front of the cameras.

LMAO!!
I stand corrected!
Grape MaD Dog 20/20.
In a paper bag.
In an alley.
Muttering to himself and at times screaming out loud Communist and Fascist Dogma.
If i remeber correctly a 40oz bottle of Old English (OE) was about a $1.10 and Colt 45 was about $1.50. Although I think King Cobra was only slightly more than OE.
Laughing My Ass Off...
OOPS can I say that on here?
Oh, it will never end. It’s BHO’s defining stupid moment (every prez has one).
Mad Dog 20 20?
Hahahahha...Maple Syrup and Nyquil....
I wonder if Gates will bring his “water Mellon” prize to show Sgt. Crowley.

RE Your Tag Line - I can see how my guns, as they were manufactured, might be used to kill someone; but I think maybe all of mine are defective. None of them seem to have the “hunting down” feature which Mr. Romney describes. Is that available as an add-on? Will I need a gun-smith to install it? I will appreciate any help you can give me on this.
;^)
The cop is a fool for even accepting the invitation!
He should have said he wouldn’t be seen in the same room with the illegal alien!!!

Ha! I just finished off a Costco case of that stuff. It was very good but it is definitely over priced.
Wine, that is. White wine. That’ll teach me to make last minute edits.
Arrogant Bastard Ale do seem right for Gates, but, technically, our president’s not a bastard because his father married the Bammy Mammy, prior to abandoning her.
