I'm a fan as well.

I am missing something here? How could Washington make the California wine industry look bad? Are you saying that Washington state has wine? I have heard they have some grape juice that has gone bad, but I have never heard of any wine coming from Washington state. Am I wrong?

Yes. Penske and I are giving each other shit. Penske is envious of California wine, and has a little chip on his shoulder about living in a second-rate wine-producing state better known for making software monopolies and timber, so he likes to lord Washington's supremacy in boxed wines over us.

eta: Tonight I am drinking a Beckman Vineyards 2004 Cuvee Le Bec from the Santa Ynez Valley. 40% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 17% Mourvedre, and 11% Cournoise. Mmmm.

Completely unlike Northern California. You have a point there.

Thank you for rubbing that in.

That guy bugs me so much. If you are going to have a liberal and conservative on a show, you need to have a liberal with some cajones. That guy is just a rube for Hannity to beat up on. I can't remember which Al Franken book it was, but he had a great dialogue between Hannity and Colmes where Colmes was just giving Hannity soft balls.

Either put James Carville on the show (or someone like him) or just call it the Sean Hannity show.

Mike Kinsley is another darling of the left, but Buchanan used to fuck him up his ass on a nightly basis.

Carville could barely hold his own with that bronto burger Novak.

As the resident conservative moderator and inventor of the predecessor in interest of this Board, I feel the need to weigh in here.

1. I am not disappointed in Bush. Yet. My opinion rests on the finality of extending/permanentising the tax cuts, but as it stands now, it has been a fairly successful 5.5 years. Thank G-d, whom I credit with this righteous outcome.

Fairly. His failure to veto anything and his blind stupidity in allowing the Powell/Armitage wing of State (Ty - see Corn's book on the Plame affair) and the post-Tenet CIA to completely undermine not only our entire foreign policy, but endanger our national blood and treasure, makes him look pretty fucking weak in my eyes.

2. I still support Harris in both her cool, calm, collected role as am ultra-competent public servant carrying out the strict mandate of her office in 2000, and as a Senate candidate, and in fact, on the latter, I may declare Florida residency, based on some property that is owned there, and vote for her in the election. I think McGavick is poised to take Cantdowell on his own, without my vote.

3. With the right wine as a prelude, I might be coerced into doing her.

She was right back then. Her rack is right now.

Quote:

4. My only disappointment with harris is that she did not do more either publicly or privately to prevent the Imperial Judiciary of her state from killing Terri Schiavo, R.I.P.

I couldn't care less about this generally - but the disgusting glee and ghoulish voraciousness which many Dems (and MOST of their voices in the blogosphere) exhibited in wanting to see this woman starve to death was repellent. Better to shoot her in the fucking head, I said.

But then, I assume, the Dems would ban the gun and blame the Israelis

They threw in the towel today. David Wells is now a Padre.

He's an idiot, a blight on the Federal judiciary. He makes up his mind in a couple of minutes and then goes on an extended mental vacation.

As a FB neutral, and a non-traditionally aligned opinion, and someone who has spent four months reading non-US opinion pieces on all sides:

Nice try on the God play. Otherwise, you are being entirely self-preferential. This is a so-called "recovery/expansion" that even Bush can only lie and call "good" for the average American worker, who lost spending power over the last 5 years. This is the only "expansion" in which the average working class wage has not risen - only people like you and I have benefitted - and even you cannot be so short-sighted as to think that it is beneficial for the "proles" to recognize that you gained while they did not.

To say that you are not not disappointed in Bush is to say one of two things: (1) you expected him to be a fiscally irresponisble, deficit spending, farm-subsidy loving, constitution-spitooning, inefficient military-spender on futile causes, and bacon eater - to the point that he never saw a ham-hock juicy enough to veto; or (2) your expectations were so low as to not be disappointed in this parody of president. Marion Barry will likely suffer history better.

Yes. Has Ty been serving you some Napa boxed wine? Beware: It dulls the senses.

I don't get why you guys argue about Washington v. California when Oregon is way above both. Is there some pride in whether your state is the 3rd or 4th best wine producing state?

Do you follow the CBA or the NBA?

The best Pinot Noir I've had was a $12 bottle from the Willamette Valley. Good stuff.
