  1. It may or may not work if you said Colorado but if you said Seattle it would work. The idiots wouldn't even realize that the water is on the right so it has to be the Atlantic.

     

     

    If the rocky outcrop wasn't there, it could easily pass for puget sound from West Seattle

  2. They've taken over whiskey the way they took over electronics in the 1980s.

     

    The Japanese have a single barrel called Hibiki-17 that is delightful.

     

    The best, IMO, is a Taiwanese 11-year called Kavalan (the blue bottle).

     

    Even the "lesser" ones like Taketsuru are great too.

     

    Thanks, I will look into that.

  3.  

    A small group of current and former national security officials leaked Mike Flynn out of a job.

     

     

    Does anyone think they'll stop there?

  4. I find it alarming. But I found it alarming over the past eight years, when the Democrats didn't. I'm pleased to see them being hoist on their own petard.

     

    What I find most alarming, though, is the attitude that the problem is Trump, and if we just give all that authority to the right person, everything will be okay...

    Honestly, Bannon concerns me far more than Trump does.

  5. What are we supposed to be alarmed about ?

     

     

    He has governed thus far by presidential fiat through a flurry of ill-considered and incompetent executive orders, completely ignoring and bypassing the legislative branch. His recent immigration ban in all likelihood violates both the establishment clause in the First Amendment and the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment; the administration is now ordering executive branch personnel to continue implementing the ban, despite a stay ordered by a Federal Court. In little over a week he has through both words and actions, displayed disdain and contempt for the press, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the rule of law. You find none of this alarming?
