If my planaria had a face like Bud Light, I'd keep making vertical incisions in it until it had thousands of faces like Bud Light.

Funny how the National Guard is so involved in some of our most egregious domestic massacres, isn’t it? The Bay View unit must have had a few guys left over to second to the Ohio unit that murdered those kids at Kent State, barring a few decades here and there.

To have the words “Bud Selig” and “scholar” appear in the same headline, let alone on the same internet, is an abomination for which one should be severely rebuked. Therefore, I rebuke you, Craig! Severely!

It is, however, a very adversarial relationship, more so than most others in this day and age. I think that is what he meant.

Though obviously not what he said.

Since Bud Light was a used car saleman, he must have worked at a Ford dealer, and Henry told him history is bunk.

If my dog had a face like Bud Light, I’d shave its a$$ and teach it to walk backwards.

If every word that comes from Bud Selig from this point out was to come from the other end of his digestive tract, it would be his face from now on.

I’m thinking there might be a few 19th century guys called Molly in Pottsville, PA, who might have a problem with that assertion. ‘Cause, ya know, they had a pretty rough go of it themselves, what with them being railroaded and swung and all. And a few people in Chicago—some sort of a hay market or something—who also might disagree slightly.

Especially when you consider that Selig is from Milwaukee, one of the most worker-friendly countries in the nation. We are, after all, the only major American city to have elected three socialist mayors (thanks, Alice Cooper!) – and that wasn’t because they all wanted to be miniature Stalins.

The Bay View Massacre, in which the National Guard fired on 14,000 workers striking in favor of an 8-hr workday, killing seven, is one example of what made Milwaukee so in favor of workers’ rights…

Bud Light obviously doesn’t remember all the teachers strikes in the 1970s.
