Blogging Jeremiad

The new issue of The American Conservative [http://www.amconmag.com/] arrived today, via computer subscription. One of the feature articles is by former blogger Diana Moon, who writes from the perspective of a member of BA: Blogger's Anonymous. She's a self-described blogging addict, who

Memorial Day Weekend Eudemon

Ah, the first leg of the summer trifecta: Memorial Day weekend. My favorite. The July 4th weekend is often too busy, and Labor Day comes with a measure of summer's-end somberness. But Memorial Day? It screams, "Summer enjoyment." And I'm spending it blogging

Prejudice in the Womb!

> African-American children whose mothers drank light to moderate amounts of alcohol during pregnancy had lower IQ scores at age 10 than those born to abstainers, a new study has found. > It also showed that similar drinking habits in Caucasian mothers did not lead to IQ reductions in

Brews You Can Use IV

For my transcendentalist, beer-drinking readers. You can't judge a book by its cover, but this cover is beautiful: Amazon link [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584654694/thedailyeudem-20] . And speaking of regional beer news, readers in the tri-state area of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana

Brews You Can Use III

Arnold Schwarzenegger Endorses Beer For Dogs [http://www.k9magazine.com/viewarticle.php?sid=15&&vid=0&npage=&aid=1325]. I'm not a big Arnold or dog fan, but I figured someone would find this interesting.

Brews You Can Use II

To my discredit, I'd never even heard of it, but its passing saddens me to the point of inebriation: > British brewing giant Young's will close its famous Ram brewery site - where brewing began in 1571 - merging brewing operations with Bedford-based Charles Wells [http://www.

Brews You Can Use

I'm not sure I'm overly-fond of this one (a recipe for homosexual beer drinkers?), but it's different: > Beer Sorbet > 4 oz. Hoegaarden Wit (or other white beer) 4 oz. Stella Artois (this was an InBev dinner, but substitute any other minimally
