A Red-District Conqueror Wants Fellow Democrats to Look in the Mirror
Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who is on track to win re-election in a rural Washington district, says her party needs to stop demonizing others and change the candidates it supports.www.nytimes.com
How about hearing what I’m saying from a Democrat in a red-district?
The bad old days indeed...As late as the early 70s , there was only one single malt scotches, Glenfiddich
Truly. It was the mid 80s before there was much selection. I think Glenlivet was the second one they carried and it was the two until 80 or so.The bad old days indeed...
My father got turned on to single malt in the 60s and yep, Glenfiddich was all you could get here. So whenever he travelled to Philly, DC or wherever for work he would hunt down liquor stores and pick up something new. Overflowed the bar in the house and built a custom shelf thing for them. Thus, by the time I was 15 I had developed a pretty good palate as I was allowed a small glass with a few good sips here and there. Then, in my poorer days he would give me a half full bottle every now and then to enjoy for special occasions.Where I grew up there was a little country store that had the basics a mile from the house down a dirt road. I don't think there was what you would consider a grocery store within five miles. I was 16 before I saw a pizza, 18 before I saw a taco. There was one or two kinds of mustard, ketchup or mayonnaise. As late as the early 70s , there was only one single malt scotches, Glenfiddich and two kinds of rye, 80 proof Jim Beam and Wild Turkey 101. The list goes on and on. There are fruits and nut either available all year and a lot that we never even heard of.
Upvote for "whomst"...Whomst among us hasn’t voted for a guy whose campaign promise was to “let Bibi do whatever the hell he wants” as it pertains to Gaza/Palestinians, and whose first act as president – elect is to appoint an ambassador to Israel who says that Palestine isn’t a real thing!? Shocker! The guy who told you his goal it to build a Trump Tower on the Gaza Strip maaaaaaay not have had the best interests of the Arabs in mind!
They voted to rehire Matt Doherty because they found Hubert's tenure to date to be unsatisfactory, only with much more dire, real world consequences. FAFO indeed.I'm floored that they thought the alternative was better. FAFO
I'm a value shopper with Scotch and for the money, I still drink more Black Label JW than anything. Or course, I'm a fan of blended.Truly. It was the mid 80s before there was much selection. I think Glenlivet was the second one they carried and it was the two until 80 or so.
I used to drink quite a bit of Famous Grouse so I'm not averse to blended. It just got to the point where the price points on excellent bourbon were better than on good blended scotch and I made the switch. I'll drink almost any decent whiskey although ,for some reason, I pay a much heavier price for drinking Irish the next day.I'm a value shopper with Scotch and for the money, I still drink more Black Label JW than anything.

What are your thought on Oban's? Was in Oban last spring to catch a ferry and I tried an 18 year old just before hoping on, and it was an outstanding single malt. Horrible whether that morning and it was just perfect right after lunch.Islay single malts are definitely my favorite scotch although I'll not turn up my nose at MaCallan, Glen Morangie, Dalwhinnie and a number of others. Hell, my favorite single malt for the money is Highland Park.
I've had it a time or two and thought it was good but nothing made me want to buy it ahead of a dozen others.What are your thought on Oban's?

What a coincidence. I started when I was 10 or so years old.Luckily I didn't start drinking scotch until 10 or so years ago, lol...
