I keep seeing Big Media stories about how it was Cambridge Police Sergeant James Crowley who suggested that he and Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Barry smoke the peace pipe Thursday over a, uh, Budweiser? (Jaysus, can’t they come up with a better beer? Shiner would be okay. Even Dos Equis would be preferable.)
But, so far, all we’ve seen, all I can find, is this Monday CNN report with two of the Cambridge PD’s black officers backing up the sergeant that the ever-after obfuscating Gates was disorderly. No mention of Crowley shopping for a new suit for the White House meet. I haven’t found a single report quoting the sergeant agreeing to this at all.
Makes me think that, so far, it’s an Obamalot- and media-driven scam. If not, I wonder what they would talk about? Would Barry and Gates apologize? They both owe Crowley one. Do they have the decency? Nothing they’ve done in public yet suggests it. Time will tell.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Oh, I bet it’s Obama’s idea.
That has his fingerprints all over it.
“Here, maybe a beer will shut them up.”
As for the type of beer, I heard this morning, in between hitting the snooze button, that the cop likes Blue Moon.
So while I don’t like fruity beers, at least it’s not Bud.
I never heard of Blue Moon. But Bud is awful.

Blue Moon is a belgish beer, not one of the good ones (Like Deliriums Tremens) and it’s citrusy.
It’s the new “hot” beer and you get it with a slice of orange in it.

Sounds tasty, as my son would say. Cute, anyhow. I confess to not being a big drinker, so I don’t follow the innovations.
The Fredericksburg Brewery, in the Hills out west of Austin, has a good dark and a good blonde (beers) whose trade names I forget. But they’re only sold locally.
The brewery is still building its Web site, so it’s no help with the names:
