Honoring a National Holiday

You know you want one.
Today, April 7, is a national holiday.  Close to the end of the dark, dark era of this nation known as The Prohibition, FDR's signing of the Cullen-Harrison Act on March 22 "allowed people to buy and drink low-alcohol content beer and wine in public," according to The Constitution Daily.  It went into effect on April 7, enabling people to slug down a Pabst or the like freely until the 21st Amendment negated the horrible, terrible 18th Amendment that December.

A good, crisp, less filling read of the Daily's summary is on tap here.

As such, today is known as National Beer Day.  Take one down, pass it around.  Have a beer.

    I'd love a beer today. Unfortunately, last night's chills have progressed to sickness today. Also, did I mention my kid threw up on me last night? Well, that too.

    I'm in, although maybe regretting my Brendan Grace pick since I've just learned he hits it all over the planet.

    Dave you are a day late and a Dollar short on both beer day and the radio show. Whitney did the radio show last night, but it was a technical difficulties snafu, so apparently they are postponing that playlist until next week.
