BEER WITH A SOCIALIST: Flint Michigan Tap Water? “Walt Disney knew what he was doing and I plan on making Lakeville the Walt Disney of beers.”

Conversation starters. Uh huh.

On the topic of buffoonery, excrement and world class douchebaggery, there's this. It may be the first time in my life that I feel sorry for Walt Disney.

Will beer names bring the right kind of attention to new Lakeville brewery?, by Mary Shown (South Bend Tribune)

LAKEVILLE -- Owners of a new brewery opening in Lakeville want their beer to do the talking for itself, but they also don’t mind starting deeper conversations through the names of their craft beers.

With titles including “Flint Michigan Tap Water,” “Black Beer Matters,” “White Guilt” and “Mass Graves,” Jon Duncan and Rodney Chlebek acknowledge the names are likely to create a reaction from people. But, according to Duncan, at least people will be talking about current issues.

“The way I look at it — with the “Flint Michigan Tap Water” — if you’re going to get mad about that beer name, you should focus your anger more toward the people that are letting that happen to Flint,” he said. “If I can bring some attention to that, whether it be negative attention toward me, it still brings attention to that issue ...”

Mike Hall's doing wonders with that new NAHA newsletter, don't you think? But where's the aquatic center ad?

"Hi, I'm Terry Ginkins, and I approve this message."

Putsch: The agenda of Gahan's handpicked public housing flunkies remains, "Do as we say, not as we do."

As NAC told you a month ago, public housing neophyte David Duggins will be the interim director of NAHA -- and at Bob Lane's pay grade.

Bipartisanship, Nawbany-style: Jeff, Adam and Pat sacrifice a fellow Democrat so Danny C. Trump can place a Republican as council attorney.

Earlier: Council Power Poll: Join us as Dan Coffey selects the next city council attorney.

Quoth the Green Mouse: "Consider this."

All 6th district councilman Scot Blair must do to see a Republican installed in the council attorney seat is vote with Dan Coffey and the three "real" sitting Republicans, and voila: Kristi Fox is right there, seated next to Coffey.

Scratching your head, you wonder if this is what the Three Democratic Stooges had in mind during the six weeks they spent chasing Matt Lorch around the council chamber with a rubber knife.

Slapstick Troika: "We have come here to remind Lorch that his future in the party requires being a good soldier and stepping aside, not to praise him."

Lorch: "I'm not dead yet."

ST: "Stop running around the room. This is for Gahan's your own good! Don't you want us to allow you run for judge again?"

It's funny how when Trump does it, local Democrats are outraged, but when they do it ... we're supposed to rise and salute.
