Government Waste

Idiot.

Yes, Missouri State Representative Curt Dougherty, I'm talking about you.

In case you hadn't heard, Dougherty, the gobshite, is proposing legislation to declare Budweiser Missouri's official state beer. Yes, Budweiser. The WalMart of Beers®.

Worse yet, Dougherty represents Independence, a great town blessed to be in reasonably close proximity to the Boulevard Brewing Company, makers of Missouri's best beer! Citizens of Independence, is this what you elected this tool to do? To propose legislation to favor Goliath over David? Hey, Curt! While we're at it, let's declare McDonald's the official restaurant! Let's make Starbuck's the official coffee shop!

Fellow citizens, take a stand and be heard. E-mail Curt and tell him that if he thinks we really need a state beer, if he really has nothing better with our tax dollars than to do than push legislative foam like this, then he ought to at least promote a real beer.

A Missouri-brewed Boulevard beer.

Dan,

As a convert from crappy beer to really good beer, I totally agree with you!

However, what you should be more infuriated with is the fact that your state legislature is taking time and money away from focusing on education, poverty, infrastructure, and the basic protection of the rights of your citizens to decide "less filling or tastes great."

And don't feel bad. We have friggin' idiots in our legislature as well. I think it is a prerequisite.

OK I e-mail the knuclehead. The fact that he is from Independence says a lot about him.

I am totally blown away by this. What a waste of time and energy. I would suggest that you go out a purchase a single bottle of Bud Light and a six pack or more of Boulevard Pale Ale. Pure yourself a glass of both. Now look at them. Now taste them now pour out that glass of Bud. Wash the glass. Open another Pale Ale and invite me to share the rest of the six or 12 or case.
Damn It! this guy is a total Arse! kaeeo
