News of the Day
Anheuser Busch's most popular beer in Brazil is named BRAHMA after an Englishman who invented a draft pump valve. But an interfaith coalition is pressing for removal as it is too close to the name of the Hindu god of creation and should not be "misused as a toasting tool." But, admittedly, this has to take a back seat to CORONA, the Confederate flag and the Washington Redskins.
In early May the Treasury Dept. handed out "stimulus" checks - estimated $1200. per person. But in their haste they sent $1.4 Billion to dead people and now the IRS is trying to recover these funds by canceling these checks - what? after two months. What are the odds of success?
