- We don't get those much down here; must be some scam they run on poor
- deluded Yankees. Why the hell would anyone buy any Heileman beer except
- the rock-bottom kinds? Premium Heileman beer? Whatta travesty. It's as
- ridiculous an idea as, say, whole-wheat Wonder Bread.

- future of the Republic.
