House Resolutions Are Silly

As a homebrewer and avid consumer of craft beer, even *I* find this silly:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

  1. supports the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week, as founded by the Brewers Association;
  2. recognizes the significant contributions of craft brewers to the economy of the United States;
  3. encourages beer-lovers of the United States to celebrate American Craft Beer Week through events at microbreweries, brewpubs, and beer stores across the United States to appreciate the accomplishments of craft brewers.

What will be even more screwy is if this non-action is killed by some overly-moralistic teetotaler who will fight against Craft Beer Week “for the children”.

I’d prefer they just ignore us. Getting Congress’ attention for anything is never a good idea.
