There are days when the themes in the news do not weave a story but look like broken pieces upon the floor. I was going to consider this all in the form of epic multi-stanza haiku but there was only noise amongst the beer news:
- Can Negro Modelo really ever be considered a rare find in the big city?
- Are curlers still curlers if they cut back on beer?
- Is being criminally disorderly while intoxicated substantially different from just being disporderly?
- Should someone forced to sell beer? Even by the marketplace?
- Would Toronto sports be better with beer not requiring a mortgage?
- Should those on Twitter really get the cheap beer? And is the cheap beer any good?
What to make of the noise and the questions? This must be what it feels like to be dime a dozen.

"Is being criminally disorderly while intoxicated substantially different from just being disporderly?"
I think existing laws against murder, assault and stealing cover pretty much every eventuality. I'm not sure, in general, why we need bespoke laws for every minor sub-classification of crime.

Well, having done my time criminally... as legal counsel, it is amazing how many different ways one can do wrong and how describing them to allow for conviction needs particularization. That being said, why do we care that the intoxication was the reason for the disorder?

The beer in article #1 is Negra Modelo, actually - not Negro Modelo. The article author spelled it wrong the first time but correct later in the story.

But that is what makes it so rare!
I prefer the improper spelling given the craptastic article.
