St. Louis residents have grown accustomed to seeing local corporations gobbled up by outside firms. But losing Anheuser-Busch (BUD, news, msgs) could be the cruelest cut of all.

This is the cost of America's overconsumption. The repo man cometh.

Sort of funny thinking about the Repo Man drinking cheap beer Bud from the Home-Depot-credit-card-Fridge in the repo'ed Double-Wide that was double loaned with an ARM.

America itself has become an episode of "My Name is Earl."

Good, I hope it is bought out. Budweiser is such garbage. Their **** water rice/barley/wheat concoction is a black mark on the face of America's proud beer brewing tradition.

I wouldn't call much of InBev's portfolio "damn good" - this would be just one more insipid brew to add to their list.
