a ‘beer czar’
The Gleaner
I got a press release, datelined Chicago, from Bob Skilnik, a publisher who was announcing his candidacy to be the new U.S. “Beer Nutrition Czar.”
He points out that the Obama administration is “about to appoint as many czars as a 24-pack of beer,” and thinks he’d be a perfect addition.
“Look, I understand that one more czar in Washington would only add to the notion that there would be more czars in D.C. than you might have found at a turn-of-the-century Romanoff wedding. I’d therefore be willing instead to be a ‘Roving Beer Nutrition Czar,’ visiting bar after bar — something my wife would attest that I’m quite adroit at — to get the word out on the positive attributes of America’s favorite adult beverage.”
What the heck, give him the job.
