The beer sucks.

Boebert Watch: Great Moments in the Great Communicator's Career

There have been some great communicators in American politics, people who can enthrall an audience with their wit, their wisdom and their way of speaking. Lincoln. Bryant. FDR. Kennedy. King. Reagan. And now…Lauren Boebert?

No, not Boebert. But don't tell that to the GOP’s House Freedom Caucus, which on January 20 elected Colorado's 3rd Congressional District representative as its communications chair.

In a House press release, Boebert started communicating right away: “The House Freedom Caucus is the most influential group on Capitol Hill. These members fight every day to preserve the rights and liberties of hard-working Americans. I am honored to be selected as the Communications Chair for the caucus, and I’ll work diligently to make sure the caucus’s message, and the powerful messages of each member, are delivered to the American people.”

Some of that is sort of true. The House Freedom Caucus is way too influential for America’s own good in today’s politics, and its members indeed fight every day, though usually against anything the Democrats try to accomplish. And will she deliver the “powerful messages” of her colleagues? Most definitely — but remember, this is the caucus founded by Jim Jordan, who as a politician makes a good and very angry wrestling coach. And Mark Meadows, who’s currently being held in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with an investigation into the January 6, 2021, insurrection of the Capitol. And Mo Brooks, and Paul Gosar, and Louie Gohmert, and Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a few dozen more, including Colorado’s Ken Buck. But the complete list of representatives in the caucus is private, its membership kept secret, and it’s by invitation only. You know, like all completely respectable organizations with nothing to hide and an emphasis on transparency and clear communication.

Back in the day (early '70s), I worked at a primo liquor store in southern California. Domestic beers that were available were the following:
Coors, Olympia, Hamms, Budweiser, Busch, Michelob, Schlitz, Burgermeister, Lucky Lager, Brew 102, Blatz, a very limited amount of Anchor Steam, Pabst, Eastside. I think that is what I recall.

With the exception of Anchor, those beers were pretty poor. Coors seemed to the be best of that lot, and at $5.00/case, priced reasonably. No rebus puzzles in the bottle caps like Lucky Lager.

We were not fortunate enough to have Lone Star, Pearl, Dixie, Hudepohl, Iron City, Griesedieck, Genesee, Rheingold, Yuengling, Grain Belt, or any of the other superlative beers brewed elsewhere across the lower 48.
