Just in time for the most important election of our lifetime!  (Dont they say that about all of them?)

Beers on the show:  Duchess de Burgeon Flemish Sour Red, 3 Floyds Black-heart English Style Pale Ale,

Still undecided about who you are going to punch the ticket for in November???  Well, just when you thought no more information could be dredged up…  Here come Groucho and CHUD to the rescue.  Tonight, we have brought facts to the table that NO ONE knows! 

On the show:

• CHUD has not voted in Illinois yet.
• Ron Paul.  He bailed on us and pretty much screwed the Libertarians.
• A TBR Portrait of the young John McCain.  Working with the Sioux people on reservations, and thought by many to have saved one tribe from winter starvation though his noble deeds.  Hints of a previous relationship and marriage.
• Beer Intermission
• A TBR Portrait of the rise of Barack Obama.  Starting off with humble roots at his Grandparents farm…  Working up the ranks of local reporter… And fighting off the evil Jack Ryan (once married to 7 of 9!) in order to save Chicago from certain disaster.  Using his political ties to save Michelle Obama.
• A TBR Portrait of Libertarian Candidate, Robert “Bob” Barr.  From a flaming liberal youth to gunning for Bill Clinton…  To changing his mind from all of his past Republican leanings.
• Anne Rand?  Whos that CHUD?
• Wiccans are lame.  Portly and not Military material.
• AB will not give in to the Green Party on wiping her but!

Duchess purchased at Friar Tuck in Peoria.  Blackheart brought back from 3 Floyds by Super Fan Nightcrawler!  Thanks!

Music on the show comes from a lot of places… But most notably:  FreeSound.org, LIVE, Dead Kennedy’s and Ted Leo and Pharmacists.

Maharaja Premium India Pilsner vs. Avery Maharaja India Pale Ale

Groucho, CHUD and AB try 2 beers named Maharaja and compare them soley for our amusement!  One beer is a pilsner…  The other a killer American IPA!  How did they fare???  You might be surprised!  We were!
