Well, that was brilliant; ahem,...before I was so rudely interrupted by my errant right baby finger I was going to say that Bud, Bud Light, etc., is piss water. Of course, down here in Texas, ya' all, we drink Shiner Bock; however, since I'm supposed to be an Irish-American folksinger, why I drink Harp under normal circumstances and
Bass if I cannot get a Harp, and then Shiner. But Budweiser? No way, it's piss water.

As for the $$$$ thing - I hate to be so old, crusty and cynical but we Americans are greedy bastards - money runs this country and nothing else. Even worse, the more I read about Irish history the more brokenhearted I've become over what seems to be a far greater number of Irishmen who, over the years, sold their brothers down the river for money, land and/or cattle. Hey, I'm getting off of it
here so I'm going to bail. Drink up folks, whatever your brew.
