Cram It

I greatly enjoy reading about the "Old Right": Nock, Mencken, Santayana, and other "superfluous men." They're no-nonsense men with uncompromising stances. They often had questionable morals (Mencken had a mistress; Nock left his wife), but they didn't discuss morality very much,

Brews You Can Use V

National Pabst Radio [http://business.bostonherald.com/businessNews/view.bg?articleid=139751]. The lower-priced beer is advertising on National Public Radio. Why? Two reasons: (1) It's cheap; (2) It fits with the "hip" reputation it has recently acquired with college students and recent graduates. Pabst

Senior List

Remember my post earlier this week about monks in eastern Oklahoma (actually, it wasn't a post, as much as a link to a Chesterton and Friends post [http://chestertonandfriends.blogspot.com/2006/05/new-gilbert-is-here.html] about the monks). Anyway, the post mentions John Senior, the

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

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

Amish Gathering

I live in the middle of Amish country: Amish to the north and Amish to the south. On my way out of town today, I saw their buggies all over the highways, then came across one of the larger Amish homes in the area where scores of buggies were gathered.

Epic Poem

GKC's Lepanto, available on line [http://www.dur.ac.uk/martin.ward/gkc/books/lepanto.html]. Possibly my best on-line find of the month. Thanks, Chesterton and Friends [http://chestertonandfriends.blogspot.com/2006/05/true-romance.html].

PSA

I'll be out of town this morning, so blogging will be light. You're probably all too hungover from American Idol fever to read much anyway.
