Michelle Bachmann's campaign continues to exhale death moans. Even that horrible slippery bottom feeder Ed Rollins escaped the Bachmann kreel for a talking trout gig on MSNBC. It's time for Mr. Bachmann to reel in his woman and teach her some submission before she gambles away all the federal farm subsidies. What would Jesus do?
Rick Perry has raised $17 million which is way too much money to give to some doe-eyed purty-boy dribblehead like Rick Perry. I wouldn't pay Rick Perry 17 dollars to manage a restroom key at a covienence store. He'd fuck it up.
Metrosexual Tex-male eyebrow postiche model Ron Paul managed to sponge up $8 million dollars from Constitution Party followers and other online anal-expulsive frottage who still haven't figured out that Paul is simply an evangelical Christian Reconstructionist version of Pat Buchanan.
Mitt Romney: Think overrated, overpriced office supplies - continues to excite almost no-one anywhere - while simultaneously draining the Republican expense account for his own gain. Mitt Romney is the guy who steals boxes of Bic pens from the storeroom and then requisitions an inventory of the storeroom to determine who is stealing boxes of pens. He's too much of a pussy to steal cars (unlike someone like Darrell Issa) which makes him only marginally acceptable to the GOP's Right Wing base.
Pig-eyed prof/philosopher fraud Newt Ginrich needs to give it all up and go back to writing penny dreadfuls and cheesy sci-fi-spy scripts casting Victoria Jackson in the role of purring sex kitten. The only people in the media who would ever take Newt Gingrich seriously are neoconservative movement paperboys like Wolf Blitzer or John King. The dream is over, for Time magazines 1995 "Man of the Year". Please go away Newt. Please go away, and take and take your little yapping media pocket dogs away with you.
Rick "rodent teeth" Santorum has no chance of ever being elected to anything. Although he might worm his way onto some local woodchuck schoolboard or land a job with an Opus Dei IESE business school somewhere. Whatever. Francisco Franco is still dead.
Herman Cain: The Blackamoor. The Mark of Cain is 999, the inverted 666 - the Mark of the Beast! At least that's what Michelle Bachmann wants us to note! I'm surprised it took her so long to mention it. Actually, I thought Glenn Beck or some similar nutter would roll out the biblical Cain narrative a long time ago. These people are so politically correct.
Who am I forgetting? Jon Huntsman. Who cares. So he has a Harley. Good for him (Union made American bike). Go home and ride your Harley you fucking poser.
Sarah Palin: Hahaha! What a grifter. As expected, Snowmachine Winky scurried back to her Lake Lucille leather sofa to count up her haul of PAC boodle and feed on Crunchy Supremes and fresh clubbed halibut and diet Coke and watch QVC junk-TV in her PJs. Rich Lowry will have to catch his sparkly mesmerizing ride to the summit on the high heels of some other political pole dancing starburst.
Who's left? Jeb Bush? Chuck Baldwin? Glenn Greenwald? That bullyrag grease jocky from New Jersey?
Also: Wall Street sucks. OWS. Banish the snakes from the island.

I'm going back to my basement to drink fermented applesauce.

Best idea I've heard all day, but it's early still.
For posting this excellent summary, you are invited over to my crib to drink the last of the summer's Founder's cherry stout, as well as the first of the fermented fruit bat surprise I have been making for 10 years. as the kids say..shared.
butbutbut 999 appeals to the idiot voters, like my mom.
and perry looks like reagan + GWB swagger.
Son Cubano Fruit Bat Ramboozle! Pour me one of those.
Kelly b, jeezis, haven't seen you around this place for... ever? Has it been that long?

Close to.
Me, I decided it was Octoberfest sampling season. Leinie's pretty light but ok, Summit (MN) not bad, nice body, Spaten outstanding.
Next week Paulaner and Pschorr Brau.
The thing is, at least the German brews vary a bit from year to year, presumably because of the variables in their prescribed ingredients. I've had the last year's batch of the Hacker-Pschorr (not quite a year old, because they stretch it out for a LONG "seasonal" offering) that tasted better than the supposed fresh stuff.
I suppose if a person drinks, smokes, or eats simply for effect, tastebuds ain't all that important.
R.I.P. Dan Wheldon.
i finally opened little glass bottles of jack d after 15 or so yrs. much better.
Excellent summation!
farmer-
the 999 plan don't look too rosy for the likes of us. About $3K more per year, plus the increase in State taxes to replace Fed $... and the loss of Medicare & SS.
Takes a lot of $3 (used to be Large) contributions to give the top 20% a $27K tax cut, on average. Larry OD came up with an average $1.8 Mil savings for the top 1% or .!% (don't recall).
pansy- as in Daniels? Jay D'east Anjeho?
Best whiskey I ever had was Crown Royal (Grand?) Reserve. But not being a real fan of whiskey in anything but lyrics, I'm not about to pay $45 in 1990 dollars over a kick-ass $30 bottle of Nicaraguan rum in Bush Bucks.
lastly- at least Rollins fessed up to wishing a Reagan campaign job had been his last.
I do come by though appreciating the scenery, the pace, the commentary and the beverages, fermented or otherwise.
This's still one of the most comfortable cyberspaces around.
when is a rite wing plane EVER good for US.
Thanks Betty.
PJK: I like Spaten too. I noticed my father was drinking Harpoon (Oktoberfest) - a Boston and Vermont brewery. I've only tried their summer offering and that was pretty good. Although, I'll admit, if someone gives me a beer I'll probably think its pretty good whatever it is. I'm going to look for some of that Leinie's at the local beer zoo. You tipped me off to the Belgian ales and they were really good. And I can get those at the grocery store. Mostly, I just buy 12 packs of hockey beer (like Molson Ice) at the grocery store and drink that crap during the summer. Otherwise I don't drink much beer because I marinate myself in Evan Williams Kentucky bourbon whiskey with lemonade or ice tea on a regular basis. And I have a bottle of Makers Mark that someone gave me for Christmas last year that I pour shots from on special occasions (like during thunderstorms). Whiskey doesn't make me sick or crazy and doesn't give me hangovers. Otherwise, for the most part, I'm someone who shops for booze the way other people shop for deals on boxed macaroni and cheese. I always liked Rum, but I never drink it anymore. I think it's because of all those years, back in my outlaw days in south Florida, spent drinking Cuba Libres or Anjego and cokes with slutty waitresses and old cuban american dope fiends. And because I don't drink coke or pepsi or soda/pop anymore so i'm not sure what to do with the Rum. And Tequilla smells like puke and Vodka gives me headaches at the base of my skull (like someone whacked me in the back of the head with a pipe) so I don't go near either of them if I can help it. I'm pretty much just a Ohio River bottom feeder at this point.
lastly- at least Rollins fessed up to wishing a Reagan campaign job had been his last.
Ed Rollins, right? I loved when he said he was done with politics. Yeah, if your "done" with politics what are you doing on MSNBC working as a paid political punditard? Ed Rollins has to be one of the biggest political bullshit artists that was ever given a one man show. Hes a good bullshiter even though hes a fucking loser.
Kelly b: you should comment more often. I thought you'd left long ago after the old place closed. Figgered maybe I'd said something that pissed you off and off you went away too. I have a tendency to do that in case you didn't notice. lol.

i think it's a law that i must drink brandy in WI. i upgraded to armagnac.
i think it's a law that i must drink brandy in WI.
The laws are there to protect us. At least some of them are. I should get some of that armagnac too. I need to widen my horizons on the booze front. I like Sambuca...
I remember many years ago, back in the 1970s or early 80's, a friend gave me a little booklet called the grape cure. It was about the health benefits of drinking grapes. apparently armagnac has special powers in this regard. and my father used to make a raspberry concoction - he'd put fresh raspberries into bottles and pour vodka in with em and let them stew for a while. Then we'd drink it on holidays. Its was fuckin' good. Don't know if it had any special powers but it was really fuckin' good. which in and of itself is sort of a special power. at least I've always thought so.
*
aparently all brands of armagnac are good. but a 20 yr old brandy better be good.
i went to the booze store tonight and couldn't find any armagnac. a few cognacs - Hennessy, etc. and the usual orange brandys but not one bottle of armagnac. almost bought a bottle of honey whiskey. they had several different kinds including some Irish honey whiskey. whats the brand name on your armagnac? I'll look for it in another store.
*
also asked my dad about his berry patch shine. he gave me a bottle of it. not raspberry though, blackberry. wild blackberries, vodka, sugar and cinnamon sticks. i asked him how old it was and he said it was a year or two which means its probably 5 or 9 years old. So if you never hear from me again it's probably because i was struck by blackberry lightning and turned into a vegetable.

hmm. i forgot the mini armagnacs i got. big bottles $$$. but a booz museum guy in CA said any were good. i guess get a bottle of cognac and wait 10 yrs. or google. of course i just mix it anyways. use just enough for flavor. wonder if i got brandy + waited 20 yrs......
ah, the 1st i got was de montal. i guess wiki says it's good for heart disease. just don't look at the price. cheaper than cognac? oh jeez, bartenders would be appalled at my abuse of armagnac.
[grins] you've never pissed me off, farmer!
it's just sometimes easier to let other people carry on when lacking anything better to say about circumstances.
when i do have something to say i most often post it on my own board, but i will continue to leave my regards here as time and opportunity permit, thanks.
big bottles $$$
Yes. Even the Bacardi is kinda 'spensive. Around $30. That's why i usually walk right past everything in the store, get my $22 half-gallon of Heaven Hill swill, and head for the check out. I figure a big bottle of fancy French grape juice would run me about $50-100 and I'm not ready to make that kind of commitment so i was hoping they'd have some small gift or sampler bottles. Something bigger than a mini-bar bottle. Something for about $10. But no.
you've never pissed me off, farmer!
Good to hear. I do worry about that sometimes. Especially if I happen to be rolling down Heaven Hill with a broken headlight and no brakes at the time.
*
both my armagnacs were sample bottles. $30 is cheap considering the other prices i saw.
$30 is cheap
$30 for a 1.75 liter of Rum. Guess I'm gonna have to resort my dear old dads bathtub blackberry digestif.

i'll sticvk with finishing the whickey bottle i got years ago, but i gotta get port for stew + me.
