Monopoly? What’s a monopoly? Two of the three largest beer companies in the US (the third is Anheuser-Busch), Molson Coors and SAB MIller plan to merge companies, creating a single entity called Miller Coors (I guess since Miller makes more money, they get to come first). Are beer sales really flagging in this country? When everything goes down the shitter (um…war, unemployment, enviromental meltdowns, a sequel to National Treasure), you’d think that the one constant would be beer consumption. Unless the right wing groups that Coors supports are making it hard on them. That’s what happens when you cater to conservative Christians–No drinkin’ or dancin’!

In any case, if all of their crappy beer tasted alike before, just think of the possibilities now!
