Hey InBev, Suck My InButt.

So the Board at AB stood up to those lousy Belgian bastards and said "Hell no, we won't sell." This, of course, is just a first step along a long and rocky path. InBev has already started the hostile take over process in that they are suing AB in DC (you like all the initials?) to clarify the power of shareholders to dismiss AB Board members. Until AB is free and clear from this aggression from across the pond keep buying that Budweiser. (Ironically enough, I finished my Bud yesterday and am sitting here with a cold, crisp, and fresh "Go Blue Brew" in my hands.)

Now that I have discussed the beer related issues of the day I can move on to other things. As you may have noticed I have not been posting a lot lately. This is mostly because in the summer time my mind is focused on work, not sweating, and baseball. Since these three things take up the entire day I don't have much time for blogging. (This is a total lie but I am going for it.) But since I am using them as excuses I may as well write about them.

Work: I am working at a legal clinic this summer. I represent those people that could not afford legal representation normally because of economic and social constraints. (Yay, I get to play the role of a bleeding heart for a while.) It is very enlightening work and it really is getting me some great experience. An added plus is that I don't get paid so...okay...well...I do get free parking downtown....wait....no I don't....um...I'll get back to you...but it really is fun.

Not Sweating: Now that it is summer, I open the door in the morning, wearing a suit and tie I walk to my car, and before I reach my car, I have already sweat all the way through my shirt. I get in the car, crank the AC, and finally get cooled down about a block away from work. I then park the car, walk more blocks to my office, and greet my secretary looking like Steve Prefontaine after a quick 10k. Going to the office looking like a contestant from "Wipeout" is one thing but making an appearance in court is quite another. I don't think judges get the right idea about a lawyer when they are sweating profusely. I have noticed most of the judges lately have been handing down the maximum legal punishments to my clients.

Baseball: The Cardinals are over-achieving according to the national media. According to Bubba Tunes, however, they are under-achieving. The Cubs should never, ever be ahead of the Cardinals in the standings. I don't care if the Cubs are undefeated halfway through the season, there is no excuse. Luckily our mash unit of a ball club has been playing their tails off and been getting some good results but after being swept at home by the Royals and then losing two of three to the Tigers, the ol' Red Birds need to get some wins under their belt.

I have finished two fine Buttsweiser products and have become sleepy for some reason. Dammit Lukas! You spiked these, didn't you? I have lost all ability to concentrate....must watch TV...must stop writing...beer power taking over...have to order nachos....NACHOS!
