The word YOUNG was the absolute wrong one to use in discussion of this bill. <BR/><BR/>I have learned from Stuart Carter that the senate version of this bill is SB116. Hopefully we will know today when we can expect it to come up in Senate.<BR/><BR/>I am also very curious to know how the beer tasting went last night. I'm sure there'll be a good story or three from that little party. I hate that I was unable to make it down for that.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-54622015994439404252008-03-04T22:45:00.000-06:002008-03-04T22:45:00.000-06:00There was so much lack of knowledge being thrown a...There was so much lack of knowledge being thrown around in this debate it was hilarious but sad. I mean, our own sponsor (Jackson) said FTH was started by a bunch of Germans. We're freakin' Alabamians!<BR/><BR/>And there were so many pros who focused on tourism, visitors, etc. I'm a freakin' Alabamian who wants good beer, mostly made in America. What about what I want? Germans, Koreans, Ahab or whoever will benefit from the freedom of choice to have a good beer. But we are Alabamians for Specialty Beer, not Germans, Koreans, Georgians, New Yorkers, etc.<BR/><BR/>Well, for all the foolishness I'm quite pleased it passed. On to the Senate. Hopefully they'll be a little more well read than their House counterparts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-63619480507750384352008-03-04T16:46:00.000-06:002008-03-04T16:46:00.000-06:00Loved Jackson's comeback, though "Ashad from Syria...Loved Jackson's comeback, though "Ashad from Syria ain't investing money in the state of Alabama".

It is my absolute favorite beer.<BR/><BR/>As to Alvin....I usually find him hysterical (and I did today) but was very surprised that he rose in opposition and tried to make it a race issue. He is a trip. For all of his anti-racism and civil rights work the "ashad from Syria" comment sounded damn racist to me.
