Another American icon up for sale?

Thursday | June 12, 2008

AP News reports that the Belgian makers of Becks and Stella Artois are offering a shitload of cash to buy Anheuser Busch.

Yesterday I wondered, since overseas investors were going to buy the Chrysler Building, if the Statue of Liberty or Yankee Stadium would be next. Not yet, apparently…but it looks like Budweiser (which to me is THE single most American brand in the world) is.

Redneck everywhere (myself included) are up in arms.

Again, I’m not xenophobe…but equity is power. And it seems that all I see lately is how much debt our country is in…and how overseas investors are buying everything out from under us.

Kinda scary actually.
