Beer Diplomacy: Why Not?

Yeah, I know.

The Gates arrest was wrong. Up until the moment that the cop cuffed him, he was just doing his job, responding to a call and making sure the guy who had been reported as having broken into the house was actually guy who lived there.

But when the cop asked the civilian to step out on the porch so he could cuff him, he stepped over the line.

But sometimes you should not fight things out in court.

Just have a beer and talk it over then walk away.

Wouldn't it be a better world if we dealt with more problems that way?

UPDATE:
Wait a minute! Obama had a Bud Light!

This changes everything. Budweiser is an o.k. drink, a little hoppy and a little watery, but a good utility beer.

But light? Bud Light? A Light Beer?

Mr. President - with great respect:

If you want to drink water with your beer, go ahead and have a glass of water. Then have your beer.

But, for the sake of all that is holy, man, don't pour the two together and call it a "Light Beer!"
