Ok, so I have a new favorite!
I know what you are thinking, who gives a crap about Doug’s favs.
Well I give a crap!
Plus, I think you’ll like this one.
It combines two of my favorite things, Beer and Ska music.
Ska Brewing from Durango, Colorado.
http://www.skabrewing.com/
I bought a 6’er of their nut brown ale and had a few last night.
I highly recommend you try it.
I got it at Whole Foods (ya gotta love those granolas!)
P.S. for those of you in Arizona, you can get it at Fry's according to the Ska Brewing
website!

What's in a Libertarian salad?.......
Lettuce alone!
"There is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use it resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud."
Here is the problem with Friedman.
That business should be allowed to engage in whatever it wants, without any government control or regulation. The problem, it doesn’t work. Business has shown time and time again that it will never self regulate enough to “stay within the rules of the game, or be free of deception and fraud.
We have followed Friedman economics in this country for almost 30 years now. Through it we have seen the middle class shrink, our borders subverted and government of the people is almost a thing of the past.
Capitalism is not the problem. Socialism is not the problem. The problem is human nature. Without laws society degrades into chaos. Business is the same.
Business will cut, drill, kill, dump, use-up, destroy anything and defraud anyone because their god has commanded them to do so. Their god is the almighty dollar and their standard of righteousness is “more green, more godly”.

----MIA-----
Things have been a little crazy, sorry I haven't posted . Not that there isn't things to talk about.
Please feel free to post on a subject you my want to talk about.
The one thing I do want to bring up is this abortion situation in Brazil.
The Catholic church has excommunicated the doctors and the mother of the 9 year old girl who was raped by her stepfather. She was pregnant with twins from the rape.
Her mother and doctors received the worst punishment the church could give.
Guess what the child rapist stepfather got.......Nothing!
I guess the Catholics still don't see the rape of a child as wrong.
This is why separation of church and state is improtant people!

........GOD DOG..........
Alright, so this has been running through my head from some time now.
Some of you may have heard of Ray Comfort. Ray is Kurt Cameron’s buddy and founder of The Way of the Master Ministries. For a long time I thought of Ray as Amusing little sideshow with his straw man arguments and his cute Kiwi accent. With Kurt Cameron as a partner, they make up the “Laurel and Hardy” of the evolution debate.
I call their idea the, “God Dog” theory. More on that later.
But few weeks back I was listening to the Thom Hartman show which had Ray Comfort as a guest. For the most part, the exchange was what I always expect from Ray.
Evolution is wrong, no one can prove it, there are no transitional forms…..
Blah, Blah, Blah…….
Ok, so after the normal stick, Thom said something that struck me as really stupid.
He said, “…Who did Cain marry after he killed Abel?”
Now in scholarly arguments on the Bible this is the intellectual equivalent to saying…..
…………………“I know you are, but what am I?” ………..
But in a debate on evolution my reaction was “Where the hell did that come from!”
At this point I am thinking Thom is done, Ray bested him. But then when all seemed lost!
Our hero Ray Comfort showed the World his debating prowess by answering Thom.
Ray said…
“He married a distant sister, anyone could make that connection”
Wow, leave it to Ray to not only answer a stupid question with a stupid answer, but blow his entire argument out of the water at the same time!
Anyone could make that connection
But With years of research and volumes of transitional forms Ray can’t make the connection Darwin made 150 years ago.
After this exchange I no longer see Ray Comfort as amusing or cute.
He is a fraud and a liar who should be called as such.
It is time we start taking these people to task for their lies and misrepresentations.
I can understand disagreements based on religious beliefs.
But to being willfully ignorant or misleading shows contempt for
both science and God.

I HAVE NEVER HAD A MEDICAL CONDITION.....
..........That beer would not cure or at least greatly improve.
So when I came down with this years version of the killer cold I went out at go some medication.
They always say take vitamin C for a cold, so I got some Blue Moon and tossed in a orange!
PROST!
I feel better already!
I really don't feel much like ranting today. I think I'll finish my beer and get some rest.
I don't think the conservatives will come to their senses overnight, so I am sure we will
have plenty to talk about tomorrow.
Remember, Be right by going LEFT!

**DRUG ADDICT HOSTS CPAC CONVENTION**
Rush Limbaugh gave the keynote speech to the CPAC convention this week. For those of you who don't know what CPAC is, let me explain. CPAC is the Conservative Political Action Committee. C P A C get it?
Rush ranted on and on about liberty and freedom. Don't be fool people!
The conservative movement does not believe in either!
They don't believe in free and open elections.
All you have to do is watch the debate going on right now about the stimulus bill
tax cuts. For 8 years the republican party gave the top 2% big tax cuts while the rest of us
saw our taxes go up. Yes up! You say your taxes didn't go up! Well you better look again.
To help pay for the Bush tax cuts, money to the states was cut. To make up the difference
sales taxes went up, state fees for everything from drivers licences to hunting permits went up.

That was evident in what happened in Florida in 2000 and again in Ohio in 2004. They see Democracy as mob rule.
They believe in the golden rule.."Who ever has the gold, makes the Rule."
Their policies will always favor the powerful few over the common person.They believe in the golden rule.."Who ever has the gold, makes the Rule."

Now Obama wants to give everyone a tax break and they don't like it. Its not that they don't
like tax cuts, they love them! They just don't like who is getting these cuts!
We'll talk about this more later.
