Price check on isle wtf?! please. (Vintage Beer)

A friend of mine just sent me a message. He was helping an old neighbor clean out his storage shed and came across a solid wood crate with brass hinges. Inside there are six unopened bottles of beer carefully packed in sawdust. The labels say Cuahutemoc commemorative Navidad 1986. They have Grolsch style stoppers and the unbroken paper label still covers the metal release.

Any idea where I can go to find how much these bottles are worth?

The 50 States Of America If They Were Actually People In A Bar

A recent Reddit post asked users the following question: “The United States is a bar, what is each State doing and drinking?” Special credit goes to Reddit user motherboy, who is the individual mastermind behind many of them.

Regarding ISIS: I once made a bet that we would not invade Iraq,

Thu Dec 28th 2006, 06:36 PM

I once made a bet that we would not invade Iraq, because it was such an unbelievably stupid move, I could not imagine the US government ever doing it.

Even with an imbecile at the helm, I thought, the White House is bluffing; this is pure brinkmanship. Saddam folded like a house of cards; agreed to every demand placed on him by the US.

Surely, I thought, we will declare victory and leave Kuwait without ever stepping on Iraqi soil or firing a single shot.

This is brilliant! - I thought - A beautiful show of force, resulting in a humiliated Saddam backing down.

For a moment, I had grudging admiration for the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, even though he was from "the other party"

And then, we invaded...

Now, we're getting ready to hang Saddam.

This is such an unbelievably stupid move. If there were any smart money left on the table, the bet would be that his sentence would be commuted. Let him rot in jail until his power and influence dissipates completely; until nobody remembers his name.

Now, I'm not so sure. Now, I'm thinking we're actually going to hang Saddam. Now I'm thinking we're actually going to make a martyr out of this thug.

It won't be Iraq's puppet government that will be blamed for this. It will be the US government; our government that will be held accountable by history.

We are about to give the Sunnis the martyr they need to coalesce into a permanent resistance force.

And we haven't a clue what we are about to do to ourselves.

Corruption On The Border: Dismantling Misconduct In The Rio Grande Valley

In the past two decades, no fewer than five sheriffs have been busted for corruption. And from 2000 to 2013, 13 U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents went to prison.

"I was a cop who went drug dealer. That's what it is," says Jonathan Treviño, a former police narcotics squad leader who is serving 17 years in a federal penitentiary. Last year, his entire unit went to prison for seizing dope and selling it back to traffickers in Hidalgo County.

"No one forced us. No one held a gun to our heads. No one threatened the families, saying, 'You better participate in illegal activity.' No, we all decided to abuse our position," he said in an interview inside the prison.

Jonathan Treviño's father, Lupe, who was Hidalgo County's powerful and popular sheriff, is serving a five-year prison term for a separate conviction. He admitted taking $10,000 in illegal campaign contributions from a drug trafficker known as The Rooster, with ties to the Gulf Cartel.

According to Jeb, Trump's off-key message is because he's a recovering Democrat

Jeb Bush said Donald Trump doesn't represent the views of most Republicans, offering his most aggressive comments so far on the real estate titan who's used inflammatory language when talking about immigrants.

"This is a guy who was a Democrat for most of the last decade. I don't think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what most Republicans think," Bush told reporters after an Independence Day parade in Merrimack, New Hampshire, according to The New York Times.

BZZZT! Game Over. Thank you for playing. Better luck next time, Jeb.
