Cashtoberfest!

I thought that I would try the season brewing and back in August I brewed a seasonal Oktoberfest beer to be ready for my boy, Cash's birthday. On the label I put one of his puppy pictures. This was brewed in the classic Marzen style of beer. Cheers!

Blogging During the Townhall Debate

Blackie and I just rocked out some serious fried chicken from Church's Chicken. Let me lick off the fingers and get to typing before the "Itis" sets in...

1) Some octogenarian just asked (via the internet-seriously), "What sacrifices will you ask people to make in America?" Obama took a shot at Bush with his response (wait, Obama is the first candidate to mention 9/11? I didn't see that one coming) to facing the fears of terrorism, by going shopping. Obama puts it in the micro-perspective: if your family is making less money, you have to cut spending, maybe not go out that much, etc. Which leads to another cut at Bush with his (apt) description of Washington DC: we never cut spending and we spent even more.

2) Bush said Wall Street got drunk, Tom Brokaw says we all got drunk at the spending bacchanalia for the past 8 years. And the Bushido will add that we got drunk, Wall Street put their drinks on our tabs, and then slipped us a ruffie. I am not sure exactly what happened but I have this weird feeling that we all got eff'd.

3) Dr. Obama wants to use a scapel to cut wasteful spending out of the budget. McCain says, "Obama's tax plan will hit 50% of small businesses. McCain will give you $5,000. Point to McCain here because Brokaw didn't allow a response from Obama.

4) Oh sh_crap Mac, Obama just blew off the question and now giving the answer with his tax-plan: if you make $200,000 or less, your taxes go down, quarter of a million. McCain's points: Obama never takes on his own party leaders, McCain worked with Tip O'Neill. Best days are ahead of us.

5) Brokaw nagging about the time again. That is Brokaw right? Come on dude, let these guys duel it out.

6) I think McCain might have just stepped on his whatever-he just mentioned the wrong thing (that you should be able to go to other states and take advantage of their system) in the wrong state. Senator McCain Tennessee has better (state funded) health-care than most states which it borders (Tennessee borders the most states in the US) people from bordering states come to Tennessee, get treated and then head home to Kentucky. Something a lot of Tennesseans don't care to much for. Uuuuppppssss!

7) Taking time-out, the "Itis" has got me...(seriously, we raided that place-10-piece fried chicken, large mashed, large fried okra, and 4 biscuits for $16.49. -can't beat that unless you add the free haut-sauce. Good G-Lourd, the Itis has got me....
