    What the hell are you talking about? A succinct writer you are not!

    If I were to tell you that I distrusted the English due to racial memories of the Siege of Drogheda, you would say I was being ridiculous. And you would be right.

    As butthurt as people got that a corporate ‘person’ hired a trans person to represent them in a one minute video I can only imagine the level of butthurt that that will bring out in the snowflakes.

    We've been customers of Penzeys for years. Bill has long been very outspoken about his political values. They also have very good herbs and spices.

    Yes, it’s well known. And that’s fine. He gets to have his opinions. The owner of a company having political opinions is different than Budweiser using an abhorrent social trend to sell its product, a trend abhorrent to its customer base. And then, insulting its customer base by calling them “ fratty” meaning frat boys.


    By the way, the VP of Bud Light is now on administrative leave. That means they’ve given her the option of resigning.
