Someone just forwarded me the stupidest article of all time and I am pissed. Not just beer article, but the all time stupidest article that shows how far the Green movement BS has gone. If the environment ever comes up in your head during a decision to buy either a bottle of beer or a can of beer, then I am sorry to say you may no longer visit this or any beer site, a liquor store or any bar until you sit down and think about that decision making process a bit more. The gas you will internally generate and release through your bottom will far outweigh any differences between glass or bottle. Weigh the relative risks and do the math. Yes all you liberal arts enviro-non science people, math. It actually was important to pay attention during math class. If you like this article, please never visit Brewpalace.com again.

An oldie but goodie:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

The People's Republic of Oregon has decided that you shouldn't drink beer. They are planning on a 1,900% tax increase on beer, which will result in a $2 -$4 price increase per six pack! Proving yet again that politicians are the stupidest people we hear about on a daily basis, Rep. Ben Cannon, a 25 year old looking I-know-whats-good-for-you-so-I'll-make-you-do-what-I-want punk, justifies it because it will pay for other people's alcohol problems. The amazing thing is that the guy actually has a degree in economics and is a Rhodes Scholar. I guess his high-and-mighty attitude that he knows whats best for all the other dumbasses (read: his constituents) trumps his knowledge that this will kill Oregon's fine breweries.
So, go out and load up on Oregon beer for a while. Once this tax is enacted, then simply stop - buy other things to get your buzz on. Then Ben Cannon and the other nanny gvt dipshits will re-learn the age old lesson: Increasing taxes on something only guarantees you'll get less revenue out of a depressed market.

Damn - after putting up my shelves the last two months, looks like I should've done this instead.
