I still have half a case of 2002 Goulburn Valley (Oz's equivalent to California's Central Valley, in other words, fruit-and-veg town) shiraz. Cost all of $30 Aussie for a dozen bottles, which is $2.50 each for a 750-ml "cleanskin." At the current exchange rate, that's cheaper than Two-Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's, and every bit as good. (As long as you've been drinking heavily before you get into the stuff.) Hell, I might even unscrew the cap from two bottles!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I posted this on an old thread so that nobody's tempted to actually take me up on the offer.

(http://womenagainstsarahpalin.blogspot.com/)<BR/>Via viral email, they are soliciting short remarks for the blog. I sent this (perhaps not so short, but I am a JD, after all):<BR/><BR/>"Sarah Palin does not represent me. We may have the same internal<BR/>organs, but that's about it. She is auditioning for the role of the<BR/>President's understudy, but she is clueless about the important issues<BR/>of the day: health care, banking regulation, energy independence, our massive foreign debt, and jobs. She is a long-time supporter of the Alaskan Independence Party, whose leader has professed a profound and burning hatred of the American government. She has no more notion of what's happening in the Middle East than does John McCain and, like most Americans, does not even possess a passport. What's most puzzling to me is why she would even want the job, unless being in Washington<BR/>full-time would make it easier to lobby for drilling in ANWR.<BR/><BR/>"As for John McCain, he insults all American women with this choice, as<BR/>if it weren't enough that he has voted AGAINST Equal Pay for Women,<BR/>AGAINST the Violence Against Women Act, AGAINST Title X Womens Health<BR/>Care Services, AGAINST the Children's Health Insurance Program-SCHIP, and AGAINST aid to Children of Domestic Violence. If the GOP had to have a woman on the ticket, as if to fill a quota, there are any number of more qualified Republican women: Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Elizabeth Dole, Christine Todd Whitman, Olympia Snowe, and my own state's Jodi Rell, just to name a few. John McCain met Ms. Palin only once before making his selection. Now as more information about her<BR/>brief record as mayor and governor come out of Alaska, and as we learn<BR/>about her fiscal irresponsibility and abuse of power, we see that his<BR/>first important decision as a Presidential candidate shows that the recklessness that he displayed as a young pilot has not diminished. Is either of them the person we want answering that red phone at 3am? I don't think so!"sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373027426802320587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281635.post-67503983569904553052008-09-10T22:57:00.000-04:002008-09-10T22:57:00.000-04:00Yes, Bukko, but I believe that I’m the only one he...Yes, Bukko, but I believe that I’m the only one here who’s shared an adult beverage with the man himself, alive and in the flesh.

I was listening to "Talk of the Nation" while Neal Conant (whom I actually enjoy listening to, most of the time) was interviewing Linda Robinson. She is the author of a book on General Betrayus and the war in Iraq. As soon as I heard that I started googling her name. <BR/> <BR/>It turns out that she is a senior writer on military matters for U.S. News & World Report. She is no so much an embed as in bed with the army. She suggested, back in 2005 that Hugo Chavez was helping to arm/train islamic terrorists. Sounds like another Judith Miller to me. <BR/><BR/>I told NPR I was pissed. They did get back to me, but it's a lame response.
