And to top it off, Milbank didn't know that Budweiser provided two beers per to each soldier in Irag. Balloon Juice. Dana Milbank Dana Milbank's numerous attempts to pass off his partisan opinions as hard news have been well documented here, so it is hard to find anything he says or does surprising. Last night, however, he hit paydirt on Hardball while discussing the moving Anheuser-Busch tribute to our soldiers: MATTHEWS: ...Is it possible to distinguish between an ad to sell beer and a company that has ads trying to actually to salute the country in its missions? MILBANK: Well, that‘s fair. Look, the troops have been exploited since the landing on—the president‘s landing on the aircraft carrier. So what is wrong with a beer company doing it now? The real crime is that the troops in Iraq aren‘t allowed to have a Budweiser. That is the man behind the objective news analysis you see everyday in the Washington Post. Another sneering lefty, who managed to make Paul Krugman look moderate by comparison.

>>You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille!<< Yeah, that song really fits. The farmer was over-extended with 1,000 acres of land, much of it leased. Lots of low-paid help, and milking three shifts of cows twice a day. Every couple weeks his banker stopped by to check on the operation. That was the era when Nixon increased the price support for milk after getting donations from the Associated Milk Producers Incorporated (AMPI). It was all tied up with Watergate somehow. The hearings were on TV while I was out plowing.
