January 28, 2010Last night, in a ceremony at the Bayfront Public House in Newport. Steve Swan, aka "Swanny" was sworn into office as the third President of the Rogue Nation.
Following is his Inaugural Speech in its entirety: January 27, 2010 "In the beginning there was need for a president to control all the crazy Rogue citizens. The first President was Ed McVay and I was his go-to guy. Ed was a local from Newport. He ruled the nation and this pub. This is where it all happened first! Ed lost his position and then a valley boy named Big Al was imported to Newport as our new Prez. This metrosexual president had to endure a local boy as his VP, myself, the Grand Duke Kook. Big Al did not understand the power of the dark side, aka “the peanut gallery” The center of the Dark Side is Newport. The center of our Nation never left Newport. Now today Big Al has moved on to be a humble servant…working for Rogue. Today we are celebrating my inauguration as President, right here at this small powerful pub of Newport. So, as history shows, our Bay Pub is the center of the Nation and locals, aka “the peanut gallery,” and rules the Nation and the Nation’s beer is made here…in Newport! Now, with that said, across our bay is our National Treasury, our life’s blood, our gift to the World of Beer. The King of Rogue is John Maier. He walks on water and may he live long and prosper. Hail the King of Beer, John Maier! As president of the Rogue Nation these uncensored comments are directed to the few…as the representatives of the many members world wide. The Local Nation will infect the Global Nation…so be careful, citizens! I am watching you!!! I promise as President to: * Drink Brutal Bitter and promote Rogue beer above all others (others are downstream products). What’s that you say?? When I melt the ice in the urinals…that’s downstream beer. It’s all about the beer. *Employees of Rogue, including Al (I will listen to you if you don’t whine too long): I work for all the managers and pubs, tour guides, bartenders, kitchen staff. I am at your service as long as I agree; the exception is the bartenders for they can cut me off. I grant them this power…only. *the Upper Management…I will mess with carefully with the exception of BJ….he is no contest for he has sharp teeth. And Jack Joyce…he has a few missing teeth, I will mess with him! And Vince…he’s fair game. Jimmy Cline…I will help you sell beer by drinking more Brutal Bitter. As President there will be various times I will ask the citizens for their services and hope they can assist, if not? Your name will go on a list. Your nation relies upon you as volunteers for Rogue and I will call upon you. I will call upon my good and loyal servant, the PP (that is, the Past President, Big Al) and he will take on anything I can’t make or need help with. He will try to be as good as me. Al will not be a normal citizen: he will be referred to as PP, Mr Past President or World Ambassador. Anything else and he will need a permit to enter Newport. I will maintain my usual presence in Newport, nothing new, just another day drinking Brutal and giving my friend and playful competitor, John Dougherty, a bad time. I will lead you as citizens of the Nation…you are 40,000 strong…as a citizens, you will help recruit more members to join the Revolution!!!! From this day forward, January 27 will always be known as Crapper Day! And the day Swanny pulled off the Big Coup!! Citizens: remember what the word Rogue spells…repeat after me and swear. Rogue Revolution Ongoing Global Unstoppable Evolution This spells Rogue. Remember, as a citizen these are our streets, our sidewalks and take no prisoners! Viva la Revolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
January 27, 2010Last night Brett Joyce was interviewed for an hour for a new internet radio show "Brew Happy." Brett met the interviewers on the street, traipsed 7 blocks in a downpour to a PSU campus apartment complex. After taking an elevator to the 15th floor he was ushered into an Brett inducted one of the hosts into the Rogue Nation during the recording with a swearing-in ceremony. He also read the Declaration of Interdependence, complete with cuss words in tact (The FCC has no control over the internet). It was a pleasant change from talking with toxic bloggers.
