FaceBook post by Minocqua Brewing Company: Ok friends. We're in the heart of the tourism season here in #minocqua, and we love seeing and talking to folks from all over America who make the pilgrimage to our flagship taproom in Minocqua and our "Home Away from Home" taproom in #madison. Owner Kirk is going to give another one of his famous beer tastings in Minocqua today at 4 pm, and he'll definitely be advertising #halfpricebeerday--which we still believe will happen on or soon after August 3rd. As a reminder, #halfpricebeerday is the day we're offering half priced-beer as a celebration of life for Mitch McConnell, the senator who refused to impeach Trump after the January 6th insurrection, illegally packed the Supreme Court with Trump loyalists who are now dismantling the rule of law in America, and who consistently voted to make the rich richer and the poor poorer over his last 40 years in office. Why do we think this celebration of life will happen on or soon after August 3rd? Because earlier this week, Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear told Katie Couric that he received multiple calls from government officials claiming that the 84 year old Senator had ALEADY passed away. If this is true, then McConnell's staff is covering up his death until it's too late for the Governor to call a special election--and that deadline is on August 3rd. We don't think celebrating someone's death is morbid or classless, seeing as much of the world does the same thing for Jesus Christ every Good Friday. We'd argue that Mitch hasn't done nearly as much good in his life as Jesus did, so he should consider himself lucky that so many of us will be drinking cheap beer in his honor once his handlers finally unveil the "rigor tortoise."

I mean, just how do people convince each other of things that are basically quite preposterous? It's an art form. Listen carefully, and you discover these aren't speeches at all but quite sophisticated musical compositions. Now take a guy like Hitler. You listen to his speeches. They're all rhythm - no pitch. I mean Hitler was a drummer. A really good drummer. And he'd always start with a really simple kick/snare idea. You know: BOOM CHICK! BOOM CHICK!! BOOM CHICK! BOOM CHICK!! He'd lay down this really solid groove and people would start moving to it. And then he'd add a few variations: BABABA BOOM CHICK BABABA BOOM CHICK BABACHICK BOOM CHICK!! And then he'd take a really wild solo and they'd all be yelling and dancing. YEAH! Now don't forget these were the people who invented the Christmas tree. So in their minds, see, there's this fir tree out in the forest and they say: YA! This tree must be inside the house! We must go get it and bring it inside the house. Inside! Inside!
