Barack Obama’s Racial Tolerance Drinking Game
Well, the day we have all been waiting for is finally here, the First Annual White House Racial Understanding Beer Pong Tournament! (Yes, annual. You didn’t think racism could be solved that easily, did you?) Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sergeant James Crowley will join President Obama to knock back a couple brews and then end racism forever… or at least until the next racist wingnut email is published.
Good luck, gentlemen!
Update: Ugh, nevermind. Your Obama has already ruined everything with his highly controversial decision to let everyone drink whatever beer they felt like. Fine, except he has chosen to drink Bud Light, a beer owned by our greatest enemy (Belgium), and now racism will continue forever.

Nation Anxiously Awaits Obama’s Beer Choice
Forget healthcare, forget the economy. Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley are coming to have a beer with the president and this is important political news:
Does the president choose a lager for Thursday’s gathering? A porter? Maybe a wheat beer? Does he pick something light to help the men with the Washington, D.C., summer heat?
Whatever the president picks, it is likely to be closely watched and could even help propel a lesser-known beer into the mainstream.
Yes, brewers, your product could be the Official Beer of Hope and Change, when President Obama holds his big meeting to end racism forever!
But lest you think this particular piece of investigative journalism is purely speculative, here are some expert opinions from ABC political pundits:
“In the summertime people want something maybe just a little bit lighter, more refreshing. They’re not going to go for a heavier stout or nut brown,” said Steen Sawyer, general manager of John Harvard’s Brew House a few steps away from Harvard’s campus in Cambridge.
Donna Brazile, an ABC News political consultant, suggested Boston-brewed Sam Adams. The beer is sold everywhere from police bars to academic haunts.
“Honestly, I am a wine drinker and find common ground with beer could be tough,” Brazile added. “Who knows, the two might decide to have ice tea. It’s hot outside.”
Ice tea? Ice tea?!? What kind of socialist is this “Donna Brazile” lady, anyway? Or maybe she’s talking about getting some m’fing ice tea, in the interest of race relations.
If you’d like to read more of this 4-page journalistic spectacle, you can do it yourself.

Anheuser-Busch Sold to InBev
Does anyone know how to say “Wassup” in Dutch?
Anheuser-Busch agreed on Sunday night to sell itself to the Belgian brewer InBev for about $52 billion, putting control of the nation’s largest beer maker and a fixture of American culture into a European rival’s hands.
…
The all-cash deal, for $70 a share, would create the world’s largest brewer, uniting the maker of Budweiser and Michelob with the producer of Stella Artois, Bass and Brahma. Together, the two companies would have sales of more than $36 billion a year, surpassing the current No. 1 brewer, SABMiller of London.
The combined company is expected to be named Anheuser-Busch InBev, fulfilling a promise by the Belgian company to include the Anheuser name in the new brewer’s title, people briefed on the matter said. Anheuser will be given two seats on the board, including one for August A. Busch IV, the company’s chief executive and a scion of its controlling family.
