1) After rejecting the initial offer of $65 a share, Anheuser-Busch accepted the $70 a share offer from Belgian brewer InBev resulting in a merger which will create the world's largest brewer. And no, I'm not referring to newly acquired rotund hurler C.C Sabathia! (HaHaHolyShit! That might be my absolute best current event joke-ever!) But seriously, that's just one more American company bought up by a global giant. I'm not sure if there is any major beer, wine, or spirit which is not owned ultimately by a foreign corporation. Of course I could do some research on that claim, but fuck that. It's Monday.
2) Oh. My. Jeebus. It's super countdown for The Dark Knight, the newest installment of the rebooted Batman. All indications point to this movie stealing your girlfriend and deep kissing her right in front of you. It's currently running at a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and for a little perspective, Iron Man is at 93% and Meet Dave is at 22%. OK that's not really a perspective, it's just me making fun of Eddie Murphy.
3) In Sports, I'm going to see the Cubs play the Astros this weekend at Enron Field. Of course It's entirely possible you don't care, so here is some actual news. The All Star Home Run Derby is tonight (7pm central, ESPN). If you like listening to Chris Berman go hoarse screaming his tired, weak catch phrase (it's back, back, back ad nauseum) for 3 hours then grab a bucket of soggy popcorn and relax: It's clobberin' time! I so dislike Green Bay, Brett Favre, Wisconsin (minus Milwaukee-that city rocks your face off!) in general. Just stop-please. Everyone is so tired of you. Just go start your car dealership in Kiln and leave America-and Aaron Rodgers-alone. The British elite in action.
4) Sonuvabitch. What's next? We find out the pyramids were built by the WPA? It's a world gone mad with deceit.
5) And finally: Hottest. Thing. Ever. (if you click on one link today, click the word ever.)
Well, that's about it. It's like Adolphus Busch said: "You can only drink 30 or 40 glasses of beer a day, no matter how rich you are."
