Beer Breeds Bizarre Bedfellows: Me and Maggs at the Brewery

Never let it be said that by default I’m disagreeable with those with whom I disagree.  Sure, if the opponent is a vile, loathsome cretin, I’ll let them know in very colorful piquing terms.  But for the most part I’m not the boorish sort who forgoes civility and jettisons propriety when in the company of different minded people.  Take this past Saturday afternoon for example, when I attended the Able Ebenezer Brewery Company’s opening ceremony (mentioned here) and found myself at the bar next to Governor Hassan—Maggs.

Groksters are everywhere, Scott and Gov. Hassan

Something tells me she had no idea she was talking to a Grokster, but I’d like to think that if she had known it wouldn’t have dissuaded her one bit from exchanging pleasantries with me and my family.  The only thing we probably agree on is beer, but she was in good spirits and very friendly.  Who wouldn’t be?  Like I said, we were at a brewery–don’t get me wrong no one was crapulous, at least not when I was there–but it was an exciting day for the town and especially for beer lovers in the town.

Anyway, Groksters are everywhere.  Above’s a picture of me and the Governor donning smiles–yes that’s the best I can do.  My entire family was also in the shot, but I edited them out.  I may be benevolent to those with whom I disagree, but I suffer no delusions about the rancor and viciousness of many of my political adversaries and wish to spare my family any potential ugliness brought on by their ill conceived bile and behavior.  I’m sure you understand:0)
