I used to comment (sparingly) on the various blogs I read as "Gummitch." Lately there has been another established gummitch posting, and so I switched to "steverino."
I've tried to change my name here, but with no success; so, Gummitch I remain here, and steverino elsewhere.
Current events, nit-picks, cats, and other important things.

Beer
Over at The Washington Monthly, there is a discussion about beer and the possible hostile takeover of Anheuser-Busch by a Belgian company. The discussion mentions the various quality of Belgian beer vs. Budweiser, and someone throws in a comment about Dutch beer.
Which reminds me of the last annual "Oktoberfest" I attended at the Submarine Base here in Groton. Someone was apparently disturbed at the potential negative connotations of the word, because it was now called "Autumnfest". While it did still have a beer stand, the beers served were Heineken and Amstel Light. Two Dutch beers.
