The King will not abdicate his throne!  AB has indicated they will reject the invasion of InBev! Yet the war has just begun.  The devilish Belgian beer giant may take their battle to the shareholders.  Resist, citizens of AB, the future may be in your hands! 

Fare Thee Well, FJC

After years of delighting even the hippest hip-hopper in the Beltway, the Federal Jazz Commission, or FJC for short, played their last tune.  The band was a staple at my favorite watering hole in DC, Colonel Brook’s Tavern.

Many a days after (sometimes instead of) my law school classes I would head across the street to enjoy a few pints.  On select days the FJC would set up shop and bellow out some of the best jazz that side of the Misssissippi!  Young and old, black and white;  From law students to ex-Watergate scandal perpatrators, everyone loved this band.  But the years have caught up with some of the members (Commissioners, as they call themselves) and they now seek warmer (and safer) pastures in Florida.

Thank you, Commissioners, for all the entertainment and fantastic music you provided over the years!

Democrats to get baked at convention

If you need a reason to steer clear of the Democratic National Convention, here’s one.

It appears the Dems have taken a strong stand against fried food, banning it from their convention. As they pillage the local countryside in search of local-grown organic ingredients for their comestibles, they have mandated a color palette of at least three reds, greens, yellows, blues/purples, and whites in each meal.  Significant for their absence are the blacks and browns, which have been disenfrenchfried.
