Finally, a Democrat and the House have done something for the greater good
While most of Washington was focused on Tuesday’s election results, the House was busy doing something else: Passing a resolution about beer.
House Resolution 1297, sponsored by Rep. Betsy Markey, supports “the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week.”
“We’ve got quite a number of microbreweries and entrepreneurs that are creating jobs, and we wanted to celebrate that this is a craft,” Markey told POLITICO.
“I think beer has been a tradition since this country was founded,” said Markey. “We wanted to celebrate entrepreneurship — and good beer!”
There’s just one problem: American Craft Beer Week started on the 17th. Probably would have been beerter if they had passed it Monday, or last week, but, hey, at least they got it passed. The Dem led Congress let a resolution supporting Mother’s Day languish for over a year. Heck, they let a resolution supporting the people of Greensburg, Ks., after that monster tornado in 2007, sit in committee for 8 days.
In fairness, the resolution was introduced April 22nd. Oh, wait, that’s worse. Just take a vote, peeps!
My favorite beers are Michelob Light, Carolina Pale Ale, and anything served by a pretty woman in a bikini. What are your faves?
