A Decade of Drinking Legally

It started with bad beer - Natural Light - and moved into bad liquor - Purple Passion/Everclear - ten years later and I still prefer beer to anything else. The best inexpensive beer is Pabst - I don't care if it was the hipster beer of choice in 2002. Ambers are good but porters are better. Does that mean I like hops?

Oh yeah, there was a protest this weekend. My birthday happens to fall on the anniversary of Shock and Awe, also the first day of Spring. My greatest ephiphany over the last 3 years of Bush's war? The greatest obstacle to ending the war and reigning in U.S. imperialism generally is the Democrats, not the Republicans. Think about that.

The protest in San Francisco was about 10,000 people I would estimate, although the organizers say 25,000 - I could be wrong. The coolest part was the very active Palestinian contingent. The intifada is global!
