The "State" of things...

Well it has been political malay here in our great capital of Madison... We have been on the front lines and taken a stand for the working man and woman. I am talking about the possible bill that Governor Scott Walker is force feeding through the state assembly and senate. But all political ramblings aside, I am here to talk about beer. When I get my emotions jacked up on certain bourgeoisie affairs, I am often drawn find solice in a nice pint or tulip glass of beer. Beer has been present in revolutions, wars, government overthrows and union strikes. Perhaps there is a pattern to all this... Beer is the social lubricant and cornerstone of modern discussion. We sit over a beer and talk about our problems. If it takes more than one pint to bring about a mediation than so be it...The local tavern or pub is a place where one can discuss the pressures of the workplace, or the political shenanigans that are happening down the street. So in these times of conflict and after a long day, I retreat to my peace and quiet with a pint. Tonight it will be contemplating with a stange of Kölsch, just as Karl Marx would have done in Cologne. So I say to all take up the good fight and remember that beer is here for you when you lay down that sign.
