OK, now that would be really cool, but it was cool enough that President Obama invited Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Police Sgt. James Crowley to the White House for a beer to talk it out, “it” being the much publicized arrest of Gates for disorderly conduct by Crowley after investigating a burglary at the professor’s home, and the President’s subsequent crack that police “acted stupidly.” President Obama will drink Bud Light (bet Miller’s pissed); it’s Red Stripe for Gates Jr., Buckler non-alc for V-P Joe Biden, and a Blue Moon for Crowley. I think this beer summit should inspire us all. It’s hot out there, and heat like this can turn any mildly passive aggressive Seattleite into a ticking time bomb. So if you feel a case of the Hulks coming on, just think to yourself, WWPOD? Grab a stoop, commandeer the break room, crack open some cold ones and talk that shit out. No apologies were made between the men today, but they set an example that adults can set aside their differences and be human with each other, through beer, if only for an afternoon. Crowley, of course, looked ridiculous with his Blue Moon and lemon slice (and why did he bring his union representative and lawyer?).
