What's Your Beer Personality?
You Are Samuel Adams | You're fairly easy to please when it comes to beer - as long as it's not too cheap. You tend to change favorite beers frequently, and you're the type most likely to take a "beers of the world" tour. When you get drunk, you're fearless. You lose all your inhibitions. You're just as likely to party with a group of strangers as you are to wake up in a very foreign place. |
Now, here's a beer you might not have heard of:

Yep, that's one I don't see on the shelves up here too much.It was even fairly rare in Alabama. But my dad drank it when he was my age, and I wear my dad's Dixie Beer shirt while I drink a cold one from time to time (when I can find it) because it's from New Orleans -- just like me.Oh, that reminds me. I finally got my Michigan Driver's License this week. But only barely. My New Orleans birth certificate is downright ancient, and I really had to pretend to "feel" the raised seal, but I finally convinced the poor gal she was crazy if she couldn't feel it too. I've been waiting for my new one since just after Katrina -- and God, I moved out of there 20 years before the damn thing hit and I still get screwed over! Of course, my suffering pales in comparison to even the most recent insults our government has thrust on these people.
Children could be scarred for life. That one speaks for itself, I think.
FEMA withheld supplies for hurricane victims, which then went to casinos. As if they don't have enough money already.
Poisoned in their new "homes" while they wait for assistance to rebuild their old homes -- and then they're told they have to pay that money back. And if you read that last article closely, you'll notice some interesting finance/accounting information. Like the fact that the company is essentially hitting up homeowners for the errors it made, which just so happens to be the same amount they have to repay to the state of Louisiana. Or the fact that that very contract award allowed the company to buy out several competitors, essentially creating a monopoly...
But enough of that. I don't really feel like getting into all the anger I feel over how my birthplace, a cultural center for our country, has been allowed to devolve into what it is today.
