You have to walk your talk, America

In in this down economy, BOOZE is still selling well

Especially booze sold in ‘value added’ packaging, so you can feel GOOD about getting more numbing for your buck.

Jack Daniels’ maker Brown-Forman Reports 4% Second Quarter Operating Income Growth in Challenging Economic Environment; EPS Growth of 13%

Brown-Forman’s balance sheet remained strong and the company continued to operate during the six month period with an “A2” rating from Moody’s and an “A” rating from Standard & Poor’s (yes, we now know the ratings agencies gave ratings in certain industries without knowing a rat’s a** about the actual values of questionable assets they were looking at).

AND, the company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of its outstanding Class A and Class B common shares over the next 12 months, subject to market conditions, getting their corporate value OUT of the public domain.

Even though I think America is Schizophrenic about its drugs

- they say that liquor is fine for us to drink on a daily basis

but anything else

and you go to jail -

B-F’s growth shows that corporations CAN addict their customers AND be financially viable.  Who knew?

I wonder if B-F’s Board would like to get into the car making business?  I hear there’s 35 billion up for grabs…
