"Either I drink beer or not. I am not going to fool myself and drink non-alcoholic beer," said Shadi Abdel-Hadi, a 24-year-old bar goer.

Wise beyond his years.

The problem, said Hamas's new parliament speaker Aziz Dweik, is that it's still called beer.

Why not change it to what most beers are here in the States,
Pig swill.

Dear Mr. Khoury,

Time to wake up and smell the explosives.

You returned to the hellhole you were born in due to "pride in your homeland." Do you like the smell of charred bodies in the morning, perhaps?

Your sales have been cut in half since the beginning of the intifada, and it ain't gonna get any better, Mr. Khoury, since, according to a member of your new Hamas government, "it's still called beer."

I'd say it's time to cut your losses, before everything above your shoulder blades is cut. We admire your enterpreneurial spirit here in the West, but you can be sure as heck your neighbors -- most of whom live off the dole provided by other countries -- don't. (Unless, of course, you've covertly leasing brewery space to bomb makers.)

If you absolutely have to drink a non-alcohloic beer, Clausthaler Amber is actually better than many so-called, real beers.

And none of that annoying euphoria either.
