Proverbs 31:6-7
Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Thats right plebes. Get drunk. Go shopping. Forget your troubles and the fact that you’ve been fucked over by the people who own your apartment and the bank you got your student loans from. Don’t bother your pretty little head about things better left to your superiors.
Oh, and by the way, pay me.
I’m not perishing or in anguish, so I’ll stick with my vape.
I’ve often wondered whether the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit gets drunk at times. Sometimes the voices in my head (she speaks to me in dreams) don’t make any damn sense. Or maybe that’s just PTSD left over from my youth when I was a Republican …
This is God’s acceptance and approval and recommendation that homeless people should be drinking. Once again all the Republican homeless people haters are wrong again. God is calling for them to be drunk!
Bottoms up, everyone!
Interesting story today about how segregation lives on in the Republican South under the guise of preserving “Southern heritage.”

@6 sounds like the right to discriminate in the name of Religious Freedom. Some advice for the conservative homophobes – go visit you local liquor store and go get drunk, you are going to need a lot of booze.
oh and after drinking all that booze, don’t forget to clean or play with you guns.
So what’s John Boehner’s excuse? He’s not poor but he still gets shitfaced.
all gods critters (great and small) enjoy messing over their brains, sayeth a worthy book
however keep it in your inebriated brain that marijuana has been recently judged to be 114 times more-healthy/less-deadly than ethanol (what? so if i smoke like 114 joints then that’s…uhh.nevermind)

You gotta stay drunk to be the Speaker of the House with all those lunatics.
Not to mention it’s the only way he can feel like he’s important.
Beer it is, then, for the Stranger. Maybe wine for its readers
Well considering this was written 2,000+ years ago, there was not healthcare as we know it so getting the dying shnockered seems rather merciful.
The next passages are interesting too…
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
This is advice to King Lemuel from his mother. Verse 4 says “it’s not for Kings to drink wine; nor for princes to drink strong drink.”
The king is to give strong drink to him who is dying and wine to those of heavy hearts. Look free health care. I don’t think beer is going to cut it with most folks who are dying. Beer was of course drunk by everyone and nearly every day.
I’m puzzled by who Lemuel is and why this is in Solomon’s book.
“So 1 whiskey; 1 scotch; 1 beer” could be the biblical way to go.
