Thu Sep 27, 2018, 03:49 PM
Sep 2018

I'm gonna tell you about my younger days when my health was good, but my mind was crazed
By chemical interactions in my brain.
Yes, I got high. You know it's true, but what I'm gonna relate to you
Will keep you just like me from going insane.

Cuz you know ... Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Yes it's true.) Beer is good for you.

Yeah, keep off crack and speed and smoke. You'll just get dumber with every toke.
Rocks in your head. No wonder it's called "stoned".
Your heart beats fast, eyes red as hell. The monkey just gets bigger till
Your money, lungs and mind will all be broke

But you know ... Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Yes it's true.) Beer is good for you.
Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Here's to you.) (Belch) Beer is good for you.

Dope carnivals inside your head can turn into freak shows instead
Face every imagined horror known to you!
Beautiful and exotic, paranoiac and psychotic.
There's nothing left but sawdust when it's through.

Hey, don't feel bad and don't feel blue about all this jive I'm layin' on you.
I'm just trying to make a point and make it clear.
No, don't get angry. Don't lose hope just because you can't use dope.
You can always make a real good case of beer.

Cuz you know ... Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Yes it's true.) Beer is good for you.
Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Here's to you.) (Belch) Beer is good for you.

Dark or light, it's brown as honey, worth its weight in gold or money
Oh, baby, that beer is good for you!
Gives your tongue a tingle and your mind a buzz and you wake up in the morning with a mouth full of fuzz.
Oh, baby, that beer is good for you!

And you know ... Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Yes it's true.) (Belch) Beer is good for you.

Not as good as s__, but it's better than jail. Hookers cost, but so does bail.
Oh, baby, that beer is cheaper, too.
So, tell the man behind the bar, B - E - E - R!
I'm telling you, beer is good for you!

And you know ... Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Yes it's true.) Beer is good for you.
Beer is good for you! (Beer is good for you.)
Beer is good for you. (Here's to you.) (Belch) Beer is good for you.
I said that beer is, ... beer is, ... It's good for you! (Belch)

I posted that on FaceBook. We used to play that song every weekend at the bars. I had a lovely group of friends, all music students, and we played that and sang along and to this day I still remember it and the words and I immediately started singing that to my husband when K said that. Needless to say, he left the room to go exercise mid song! I cannot understand that. I know I could use a beer right now to get through this.

I keep thinking of Hillary Clinton testifying, with her career at stake, for 11 hours. No anger, no crying. No long-winded self defense, no furiously blaming others.

Many have managed a measured response to attacks they felt were unfair. But not this guy. He's done.

I'm sure some other justices have imbibed/toked and had a few indiscretions in their past (Thomas being an exception). But a potential justice of the SC should be able to defend his record without regressing into name calling.

She asked on Facebook if anyone else was crying through Kav's testimony. She's wicked conservative Christian though. I think she thinks accusations against him are false. Anyhow, seemed kind of silly to me to cry about Kav's testimony. Again, I'm not watching it, but I can't imagine what he has to say is all that moving. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong.

the sex allegations, does Kav sound intelligent enough or stable enough to be a supreme court justice for life? I absolutely do not think he is in a league that would qualify him to be in any federal position.

Add back the sexual allegations refusing a proper investigation and it's completely off the charts.

This guy doesn't quality to be anywhere near Washington DC.

character, I still expected a far more competent and professional performance than this. Just look at the way he stopped whining and his face brightened up and got hopey-smiley when the Republican senators galloped to his rescue. Pathetic.

One of the panelists with prosecutorial experience also pointed to his anger and vitriol, and total lack of empathy for the "other" victim, Dr. Ford, it all being about him, and that this struck him as consistent with a person who could be a "mean drunk."

We need to dismiss Graham's claims about the Kav's "hell," on the one hand, and push the evidence, everywhere, that this man's unsuitable temperament proves he should lose the Senate vote.
