Tears in Your Beer

I keep telling myself I'm drinking to honor New Orleans, since if any town deserves a rollicking wake it's NOLA, but perhaps it's to forget. Or at the least to slow my actions and reactions as I watch how horribly our country has treated the poor there--it's one of those terrible literal moments, isn't it.

Of course, if Bush & Co. can live with themselves, why can't I?

Oh, yeah, I've got a conscience and a soul.

And I also had plenty of good beer at Stone Brewing's 9th Anniversary this weekend. If you need something to console yourself, I'd recommend a Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout.
