Everybody’s got his line in the sand, and that’s mine. More people should make their own beer (and then the best of them should give me some*).
Speaking of sand, ByronYork’s reporting that tide came in on that Obama sand-sculpture thing.
Update: Looks like Obama sand sculpture in Charlotte has been torn down. ‘Security reasons,’ whatever that means.

Personally, I just thought that the thing was kind of tacky and embarrassingly hideous, but I know people were reading stuff into it.

*Hey, I can chip in for raw materials and stuff.
I homebrew as well. I can’t get mad at anyone for that… unless they make swill. Then I dump them in their vat for wasting materials. 😛
Heh, that “obama sand sculpture” looked like a bad caricature of Jimmy Carter…………
You realize the odds that Obama actually boils, siphons, and kegs his “homebrew” are about zero, right? He’s got staff for that.

As for the sand sculpture — I suspect neighborhood cats were not showing the Won proper deference.
@Rob Crawford, wrt the cats: Yes they were.
The face reminded me of the orange-peel-in-the-mouth scene in The Godfather. ::rawr::
Rob, I wasn’t giving Obama credit for making the beer. I was just saying I can’t be mad at the White House for divulging THESE secrets. 😉
I like me some good beer recipes.
Shawn, there MUST be a copy of the “Cat’s Meow” floating around the Internet, still. Dates back to the Usenet days. Included my simple, but strangely successful, recipe for strawberry mead.
I still say it was the one unquestioned good of the Carter Administration that he legalized home brewing. 🙂
Cats societies truth tellers, they call ’em as they see ’em.
funny how the administration that hides the actions of their Attorney General are proud to laud the meager accomplishments of their cooks
