Do 3.2 brew 'drink pretty good?'
Just when you think we've got the dumbest Legislature in the land, Alabama comes along, bare feet and all, and limbos under Utah's very low bar.

Utah lawmakers weren't alone in wrestling with the alcoholic content of adult beverages. When a proposal came up recently in the 'Bama state house to increase the alcohol limit of beer from 6 percent to 13.9 percent, Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, speechified:

"What's the matter with the beer we got? I mean, the beer we got drink pretty good, don't it? I ain't never heard nobody complain about the, uh, beer we have. It drink pretty good, don't it? Budweiser. What's the names of some of them other beers?..."

You can hear Alvin in all his oratory glory here.
