Just make certain it's beer and not kool-aid.

The upcoming White House meeting with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and the Cambridge police officer who arrested him earlier this month appears to have touched off a fresh debate all on its own: what kind of beer should be served?
Earlier this week the White House indicated each man would drink the beer of their choice — Bud Light for President Obama, Blue Moon for the police officer, and perhaps Red Stripe or Beck's for Gates.
But one Massachusetts congressman thinks another beer entirely should be served: Boston's own Sam Adams.
In a letter to Obama dated Wednesday, Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal strongly urges the president not to drink Budweiser, now owned by a Belgian company. Nor should the White House consider serving Miller or Coors, Neal writes, both owned by a United Kingdom conglomerate.
Instead, the White House should serve the three men — all with ties to Massachusetts — the local favorite, not only because of its popularity in the region but also because it remains the largest American-owned and brewed beer, Neal says.
But Sam Adams founder and brewer Jim Koch told NPR if it was up to him he would make a special beer just for the event.

They Just Like To Pee A Lot.
Good excuse to be in a Men’s Room...
True enough. I blame the media they are evil and must be destroyed.
Speaking about alcoholic drinks, from now on, I’m calling the hard cider that I’m brewing (But not selling) “Obama Juice”. It’s cheap and easy to brew. You can simply buy winemaker’s yeast (Which you can get for a dollar) or even use wild yeast, semi-rotten apples from a local food shelf and sugar, boil the apples into a juice, pour the mixture into an airtight jug and let it ferment for two weeks.
Most people, because of this damn recession, are getting their apples from food shelves. Perfect way to kill two birds with one stone (Discarding rotten apples and getting some cheap and safe hooch.)
Bottoms up.
I do hope you don’t really mean air tight, but that it is set up with an airlock for anaerobic fermentation. If it is turely airtight, you will have one big mess to clean up.
The NappyOne
Yeah. BTW, thanks for reminding me. I need to remove the airlock on my cider. It’s on it’s second day of fermentation and I need to release the pressure.
I once bought a gallon of fresh cider. I poured off about a quart into a pitcher and fastened the screw cap.
A few days later I made coffee and left the kitchen. There was a loud boom. The glass cider jug was disturbed by the air motion and exploded. The jug was pulverized into powderlike fragments imbedded in walls and shelves. Had I been there I would have been shredded
Fermentation should have, must have, a waterlock that allows the CO2 to bubble out. Without it there is danger of explosion
No kidding. I can see him drinking something lite-n-fruity, with an umbrella in it.
He was only vilified because he was a member of the wrong political party.
Can’t the Obama team do ANYTHING right? For crying out loud everything they touch turns into a major event. Here’s what I would have done:
Ice chest set out by the table filled with 6-10 varieties of beer. Maybe a few chips and dips or nachos set on the table. The End.
My choice would be one of the Sam Adams beers.
Just make certain it's beer and not kool-aid.
I heard a rumor today that the stupid cop was bringing his lawyer along with him.
I think that is great, doesn't sound stupid to me.
If was going to be around 0bama or Gates I would want my lawyer there with me.
So Funny!
White House makes CEOs pay for lunch

Officer Crowley did nothing wrong. But the white guy is officially at fault for everything in the era of Affirmative Action.
I figured Obama would drink Zima or Boone’s Farm. Girl drinks.....
I can see him drinking a lite beer. Glorified water. If he wanted to test his manhood, he should go drink some of the microbrews.
Or better yet, Whiskey.
If I were a CEO at the White House there would be NO WAY IN TEXAS I’d leave my credit card number with Obama’s ACORN buddies. There’s no telling *what* charges might appear on next month’s statement.
...but then again, if I were a CEO I’d decline an opportunity to pay for my own lunch at the White House. Never dine with people who have no Honor.
