An Irish perspective

[fredintoon]

This list has recently seen several comments regarding the upcoming US presidential election.
Here is a thought from the Emerald Isle:-

An Irish Point of View on the Election race..

We, in Ireland , can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States .
On one side, you have a woman who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, running against a lawyer who is married to a woman who is a lawyer.
On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What are you lads thinking over there?

Yea, but the beer is Budwiser. That screws up the equation!

[The Lorax]

I respectfully disagree, Free Beer is GOOD beer. Just my stinkin' 2 cents. have a nice day and ride safe

talking beer with the irish....

hey there folks....ya should be talking with the irish over a shot of whiskey and a pint of guiness.....as far as the election goes, i agree with the irish way of thinking...but if the belgians step into the mix, who knows....anyway, no matter how much ya drink there are 2 things 2 remember.....

neither hillary nor obama will look good enough to take home from the bar at 2 am

money seems to buy favors with religious folks (sorry xspastor!!)

just my 2 cents......ross

Good thing I'm not into sports! Women and classic cars are more my style! An ex-girlfriend gave me an autographed Modano hockey stick back in 1999, I could have really cared less.

No offense taken, Ross! We pastors have tender hearts but thick skin! I was just up in your neck of the woods. I was born in Jackson and lived in Grand Rapids for my first 23 years. If I ever get up that way on the bike, maybe we can grab lunch or something. Ride safely and God bless!

Speaking of offending the religious..

We have the Pope here next week for World Youth Day. In the spirit of the event, I'll be wearing this lapel badge while I drive pilgrims to the event in my bus.

What do you think and once again, sorry Tim.

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to prosper."

Attributed to Ben Franklin.

Couple other, but less known, beer quotes:

"People who drink light 'beer' don't like the taste of beer; they just like to pee alot."
-Capital Brewery, Middleton, WI

"The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind."
-Humphrey Bogart

From the Irish:

"May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out."
-Old Irish Blessing

And finally, for those of sho came of age in the late '60s or early '70s:

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."
-Frank Zappa

Beer, the opiate of the masses, the primary method of control over the lower classes by the ruling class

Hi Dan,
Where would a person get one of those lapel pins?
