ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Belgian brewer InBev has announced it will buy its U.S. rival Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion to create the world's largest brewer. The acquisition means control over America's largest brewer, the No. 2 worldwide, moves overseas. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Anheuser-Busch has more than 48 percent of American market share with brands that include Bud Light.  It wasn't immediately clear how long approval might take from regulators and shareholders. Several Missouri politicians have expressed concerns about the merger -- especially how it would affect the approximate 6,000 people employed by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis. The merger, if completed, will bring to an end to one of the most iconic names in U.S. business and a name synonymous with St. Louis. From college buildings to offices to the stadium where the Cardinals play, the Busch name is virtually everywhere in the Gateway City.

God Damn It!    We just keep getting our face punched in huh?   I mean AB should be buying Inbev not vice versa.  We’re America for god sakes!     Is there any doubt that the thing that sealed AB’s fate was when Miss USA took another tumble in the Miss Universe pageant?  It was probably like an arm wrestling match on who would buy who and the second Miss USA’s ass hit the ground we got distracted and got pinned.     It’s just so sad.  I mean Budweiser is the great American beer except it’s not American anymore.   How could this happen?    It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Clydesdale's walking down the street in Abington except instead of Clydesdale's there will be American Citizens pulling the cart and getting whipped while doing it.   

PS - All will be forgiven if InBev decides to advertise with the Stool. Then I say "Hoi" (Hello) and Welkom (Welcome) to our new foreign friends. And did I ever mention that my college roomate was from Belgium?
