The Knights of the Rogue Table, the supervisors of our elections have postponed nominations and balloting due to hanging chads in key precincts.

The turkeys responsible for this fiasco are scheduled for execution and consumption next week.

However, Tom and Juniper have again been spared under the Tuff Turkey Treaty.

This President does know what’s going on.

I have received overwhelming outcry from our pumpkins. They have been surprised to see so many pumpkin beers already available on the shelves of America.

“How can pumpkin beers be made before we are harvested?” they ask.

To the pumpkins of the Rogue Nation: Do not feel bad. Rogue Ales & Spirits elects not to use canned, pureed or foreign pumpkins. You will be ready when nature’s timetable dictates. Rogue grows pumpkins, not cans.

ROGUE NATION OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT THE GREEN HOUSE July 17, 2012 I have asked my wife and family for and received forgiveness and have entered counseling. I promised you as part of my campaign that I would never ever issue a Presidential Proclamation without having first consumed a Brutal Bitter. I sinned and sent out the Roguel Prize and Rogue Lariat awards sober. Never again. A corrected version is enclosed. I apologize to all those who were embarrassed by my sobriety. Most of all, I apologize to John’s Beard and have the Nation’s artists creating a t-shirt in its honor. ========= In honor of Dr. Chris White’s recent discovery of Yeast in John Maier’s beard, I have decided to present him with the Roguel Prize in Follicular Archaeology. Dr. White received a PhD in biochemistry from U.C. San Diego. He is a member of the Siebel Institute faculty and author of the book, Yeast – The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation. In honor of Charlie Papazian’s important contributions, namely his seminal article, Body Harvest, I am awarding him Rogue Lariat. Known as the Father of American Homebrewing, Mr. Papazian is the President of the Brewers Association and founder of the Great American Beer Festival. His iconic book, The Complete Joy of Home Brewing, is often the sole source of home brewing information for novice brewers. In recognition of distinguished beards everywhere, a commemorative John “More Hops” Maier bobble-head and tap handle have been commissioned. The Beard will also be on the 19 Hopoe and on a $0.37 stamp.

Many Nation Citizens have written me with concerns related to the flock of Canadian Geese feasting on the emerging stalks of Rogue Winter Barley growing in Oregon’s Tygh Valley Appellation.

At this time, we are seeking diplomatic resolution with Canadian officials. We hope that Embargo or Blockade are unnecessary, but await a response.

I have awarded 1,023,317 Gold Lifesaving Medals to Deputy Under Secretary of Agriculture, Josh Cronin, for his daring and dramatic rescue of 19 colonies of Rogue Farmstead Honeybees, which received airlift transport from the Rogue Rye Field minutes before it was overtaken by floodwaters.

At this time, the flood is being considered a direct act of terrorism and has yet to be claimed. I have instructed the Rogue Nation Department of Farmland Security to launch a full investigation into the matter. I also ask any Rogue Nation Citizen with information to contact me personally at RogueNationPresident@Rogue.com.
