It's been a helluva week in Freeperville. I'm sure there is much relief, as well as some ongoing anxiety. While many freepers rejoiced at the SCOTUS news, others were on edge over the CIA leak drama, and still others didn't give a rat's rear end about much. Regardless of the category you belong to, it IS the friday before Halloween and frosty adult Beverages are necessitated by the occasion.
Top 7 Reasons to Pop a Cold One Tonight
7. Wounded Warriors Beer & Brat fund
The Freeperettes came thru to send funds to treat some wounded heroes to a night of R & R in Ramstein, Germany. Marmar will be the gracious hostest and official photographer.
6. Poland Elected a Right Wing Gov't
Following on the heels of the German elections, some hope for Europe is in the cards.
5. Mr. Sulu and Cheryl Swoopes came out of the Closet
I always thought that the way Sulu said "yes, Captain" to James T. Kirk seemed suspicious!
4. Karl Rove is Still Employed
Much to the utter despair of Chrissy Matthews and Joe "Frogmarch" Wilson, Rove may still be around to inflict further damage to the socialists (read Democrats) for awhile yet.
3. Harriet Miers Showed Alot of Class
I wanted to see her in the confirmation hearings, to demonstrate what she was made of. But for the good of the conservative movement, she stepped aside, knowing Bush would never have asked her to do that. Here's to you, Harriet.
2. Mr. Jeeves survived his Showdown with the Freeperettes
Our resident dating guru suffered a series of bodyblows in the "Stupid Lies Women tell Themselves" thread this week. But I have it on good authority that he is resting comfortably in a Bay area institution.
1. US Beer Consumption has Dropped
While the overall economy grew at an impressive 3.8% this past quarter, the beer industry has been flat. We all must do our part to help revive this vital industry.
Good night and bottoms up!
Buy a six pack. It's pretty good!!
You drink after skiing? That may explain the moguls keep moving around on me
Shhh....
Don't tell anyone - people will talk about us.

Beer (reposted from previous post)
Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.

When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!
-- George Bernard Shaw
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
-- Benjamin Franklin
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

Went to the store to get some Fosters earlier and damn if they haven't changed the stuff on the can!
Nothing stays the same, I guess.
