Beer debate video
I like to give back some link love, so I wanted to point out that my debate highlights has been picked up by Third Party Watch, Reason Magazine’s Hit and Run (and thanks for ripping the video without linking to me — I’m trying to keep my traffic down), Punditry by the Pint (you too — gotta keep that traffic down because I hate readers), Jacob Grier, MS Brew, and Get the Picture.
Apparently, the word is spreading and this might go down as the greatest political speech in Alabama for 2008:
“Yo, what’s wrong with the beer we got? I mean, the beer we got drank pretty good, don’t it? I ain’t never heard nobody complain about the, uh, beer we have. It drank pretty good. Budweiser. What’s the names of some of them other beers? Budweiser and what else? Miller. Coors. It drank pretty good, don’t it.”
– Representative Alvin Holmes, 78th Alabama House District
I hope Alvin Holmes lives forever.

Yep….even when he pisses you off he makes you laugh. The Legislature would be a lot less lively without him.

Hey Dan,
If I can figure out how to make it my ringtone, I’m grabbing it too. Thank God there’s more to Alabama than Alvin!
