Wynkoop Brewing Company is once again seeking beer resumes from the nation's most beer-minded men and women for the 2009 Beerdrinker of the Year contest. The 13th annual contest seeks and honors the most passionate, knowledgeable beer lover and supporter in the United States. The 2009 Beerdrinker of the Year wins free beer for life at Wynkoop Brewing Company and $250 of beer at their local brewpub or beer bar. They also win apparel proclaiming them The 2009 Beerdrinker of the Year, and have their name engraved on the Beerdrinker of the Year trophy at Wynkoop. "The whole ex-beer-ience has been a blast," say reigning 2008 Beerdrinker of the Year Matt Venzke, of Hampton, Virginia. "Joining the prestigious ranks of Beerdrinker winners has led to private brewery tours, much free beer and a greatly expanded circle of beery friends. I've also had the pleasure of representing Beer Nation in various newspaper, TV and radio appearances. My parents are very proud."

Just think: Winning this would solve all of one's problems at one time! Happy parents! Free beer! Expanded circle of friends! Bartenders of one's preferred gender and sexual orientation, with big mugs!

Still, minor fly in the ointment is that when I had the money to come over, you had the DHS. By the time you get rid of the DHS, I may well not be able to afford to cross the channel, let alone the Atlantic. Which will be a bummer. keep to the Fen Causeway
Driver's licenses are one of the government IDs accepted to get on an airplane, so one might think that with all of the security theatre we have going on over here it would be really tough to get a fake ID, right? Apparently not.
CBS 11 News went undercover in Northwest Dallas, along Harry Hines Boulevard to document an elaborate fake ID ring. We sent a CBS 11 employee, undercover, to the location. He asked about getting a Texas ID card and was directed to "El Tio." The employee was then taken across the street to a boot store to have his picture taken. He handed over $20 as an up front payment. We showed the hidden camera footage to Trooper Lonny Haschel, with the Texas Department of Public Safety, the same agency that issues Texas drivers' licenses and ID cards. Haschel said, "It's unfortunate that folks feel they have to go this route. Anytime anyone can obtain a driver's license or ID card without any documentation, that's definitely an issue."

Oops, minor little hole in the security apparatus there, chief!
