Keeping Up With The Cocktails

Political Thought of the Day:


The rumor mill going now suggests that Republicans will put a 6 week debt-limit extension on the table and vote on it so that negotiations can occur. Which seems pretty pointless, if you think that the same set of demands will be in play. Obama will have to agree to the negotiations, to neuter the talking point and then when the GOP reveals that it has simply repeated itself and that there is nothing substantive on offer, we can have the crisis again, only this time Obama gets an extra data point: "I told you that we couldn't function as a government this way and this is way. Partisan demands don't change and governing by crisis is awful."

Fantasy Football Move of the Day:


I looked for a defense in my Yahoo! league. I wasn't very busy most of the day and I was staring at my team. Picking up an extra defense because of a "bad matchup" is exactly the kind of time wasting that happens when you have to be at work, but you don't have anything to do.

Cocktail of the Day:

The Horse's Neck
  1. 4 cl of brandy
  2. 110 cl of ginger ale
  3. Dash of angostura bitters
It's hard to believe this cocktail deserve a name or the word "cocktail" at all. Pretty much exactly what you would expect from the ingredients. Please don't waste good brandy on this.
