heckofajobbrownie Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Tupa, would love to hear your thoughts on the ACA case, whether you buy the "inactivity" argument, what you think they'll decide, etc. My feeling, based on the arguments just like everyone else, is that the mandate goes down 5-4 and that the "severability" issue goes 6-3 for keeping parts of the bill, with Roberts and Kennedy joining the liberals. That seemed to be the way Roberts was going during arguments - suspicious of the government's lack of a limiting principle, but also didn't seem to be buying Clement's argument for tossing the whole thing. But who knows? Maybe Roberts creates a limiting principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows? Maybe Roberts creates a limiting principle. I think there is a good argument to be made that the mandate is unconstitutional. I think the specific arguments made in court are painfully crafted to suit the absurd maze of precedent that the Justices mostly pretend to be controlled by. I agree with your guess on the 5-4, 6-3.

heckofajobbrownie Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'd love to hear it if you have the time. I mean, I've read it from 20 other people and know the ins and outs of it, but would rather read your take than just about all the NRO types.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ever drink Piels? Worst beer ever. Loses the head 1 second after you pour it. Drank it on Recruiting duty in Albany, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofajobbrownie Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think the worst beer ever is Rolling Rock. Never understood its appeal. I'd rather drink Natural Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Old Dutch. I collect old dutch memorabilia because it was the first beer I ever purchased in a bar. it was, as I recall later on in my twenty's and thirty's, a really really cheap beer. But our cheap beer in college was 16 ounce ers of robin hood cream ale in bottles. There was a watercolor or acrylic or something painting of robin hood pulling back his bow that looked like it was from an eighth grade art class.

VaporTrail Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I can't drink Amstel Light because it always tastes skunky to me. That being said, I just brewed my first beer, an Imperial Blonde Ale, and it turned out to be pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicopee John Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 >>Ever drink Piels?>> Prior to being purchased by Schaeffer (sp)Brewing and the closing of the Hampden Brewery, Piels was brewed in the great city of Chicopee, MA. I'm going back a few years - in the Piels 'Big Mouth' era and when you could purchase a 6-pack of Quarts of Hampden Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicopee John Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 >>Used to drink it as a poor college student. $6 a case. It's awful, but you can do worse.>> I still buy and drink it, Heck. Big beer on the Cape. Not as big as PBR, but very visible in bars from Falmouth to the end. Go to a bar in - even - Hyaniss and you'll see the bar top covered with with pint cans of Pabst. 'Gansette was no longer being brewed in RI. The name was sold to somebody else and it was being brewed elsewhere. The guys who started Nantucket Nectar's and later sold to Ocean Spray (?) purchased the name and are building a brewery in the Providence area. Back home.

Dste Ace Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Weidemann. Drank it when I was in the Air Force in the early 80's. A case of Weidemann, a bag of ice, and a pack of Marlboro lights all for under $10. Nasty. My NCOIC drank Old Milwaukee tall boys. Every time you went to his house he would stick an OM in your hand. Jesus. No wonder I turned to liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofajobbrownie Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Red, White, And Blue. My friend's old Irish Dad used to drink it. I'd never seen it before. I'm not sure I've seen it since. Yup: Neither Pabst.com nor MillerBrewing.com (Miller has taken over most of Pabst's brewing operations) include the brand on their current rosters, and Red White & Blue Beer is presumed to be out of production. However, a September 16, 2010 article in Business Week ("Keeping Pabst Blue Ribbon Cool") mentioned that the young owners of Pabst are also planning on reviving other "dead" brands they have the rights to, including Red White & Blue Beer.
