A long time ago I had friends in Idaho, and I was an avid bird hunter - pheasants, chukars and such.
Sometimes my friends came to Eastern Oregon where I travelled from Portland to meet them and where we did our hunting, and sometimes we met in Eastern Oregon and went deep into Idaho where one of my friends' family had large landholdings in prime bird hunting country.
In either case, any time I got close to the Idaho side, I bought some Coors beer.
For years and years there was some kind of mystique surrounding Coors, mainly, I think because it was brewed in Colorado and not available in many other states - at that time.
The beer may or may not have been different, superior and desirable compared to alternatives, but its relative scarcity created an envelope of legend around it for some reason.
I never heard Oregonians in those days demanding to be annexed to Idaho for reasons of Coors, but it may have been happening.
It's interesting moving the clock forward to today.
Some counties in Eastern Oregon are petitioning Idaho to be annexed so they can become the beneficiaries of all of Idaho's munificent and enviable characteristics: life from conception laws, women who know their place, whites supreme, whites only, return trump as rightful sovereign, make LDS the state religion, and, yes, Coors beer.
Since Coors is everywhere these days and has become an instrument of Satan and the godless, socialist, West Coast CABAL (the only name I can ever remember out of that acronym is "Lauderdale") I doubt if it has any influence on the current petition to be annexed.
I wish them well; a pregnant protrusion on the left side of the map of Idaho would be a fitting tribute to the mothers of the potato state.
