HB196 Gourmet Beer Bill.

Basically, it would raise the allowable alcohol content in beer from 6 % to 13%, thereby allowing Alabama beer consumers more choices besides Budweiser, Coors, Miller, Busch, and Schlitz. (ICK!)

I don't drink beer that often...but when I do I would like to have more choices available than the mass produced, bottom dreg, swill that is currently legal in this state. Higher alcohol content beer means I can drink less of the nasty shit which is a measure of harm reduction.

Good luck to Stuart, Dan and the masses of unhappy, deprived beer consumers across the great state of Alabama.

The Religious Wrong in Alabama

Our friend Dan over at Daily Dixie posted a fun piece about Brother Dan Ireland, who insists that he is the moral compass of Alabama.

I think Brother Dan Ireland is a religious tyrant myself as he uses all of his political influence to control the lives of others based on his warped interpretation of the bible.

A fascinating discussion, with much input from yours truly, has ensued. Seems some folks are perfectly ok with Brother Ireland using his political influence and first amendment right to free speech to infringe upon the constitutional privacy rights of others...yet when one of the 'others' protests they are branded as someone who would dare infringe upon the rights iof Mr.Ireland.

Truly fascinating!
