    Actually...

    I lamented the 'loss' of A-B last night. My thinking wasn't that the beer symbolizes America, rather it's the symbolism that a foreign company is interested in owning something that for all practical purposes only Americans consume.

    It's almost as if we're being played for suckers by having to pay profit to people who rightly look down at us for being so idiotic as to drink stuff they wouldn't serve their pigs.
