...ummm....russians?!?

Ketel One is decent stuff. Drevnya Kyivska is comparable. The best I've tried in a long while is Grey Goose. Don't bother with "3 Olives" - it sucks.

I'm reading this book now. I fucking hate Micro$oft and their microserfs!

I like vodka straight with dinner, with good company. It must be premium stuff, and chilled ice cold. Gin is for martinis, and gin and tonics... Recently I've been sipping Caiparinha's after work. My Brazilian co-worker kept talking up cachaca, I tried it, and like it...

Traditionally Martinis are 5:1 or so (Gin:Vermouth). These days people are using less and less vermouth. The extreme is "wave a bottle of Vermouth next to the cocktail glass". Lame. If you put almost no vermouth in, you're just drinking Gin, watered a bit from the ice. Ditto for Vodka martinis. Discuss.

Ronnie James !!!!

and that's what these weirdos did

It's all Bush's fault.

June is not even half over. WTF???

Sorry, I just had a dram of Scotch and a couple glasses of champagne and don't give a rats ass about the Bush Doctrine, and goofy political arguments on a climbing b-board right now.

It is you who attribute that that is the goal of the current administration, and that "conservative supporters" (a misattribution with lots of shades of meaning) buy in to this goal. Neither is true. Again you overreach and fabricate and undermine your own legitimacy and persuasiveness. The hyperbole indicates desperation, irrationality and possibly worse. There's plenty to be critical of any administration. There are valid points to be made, but you guys regularly go far beyond the pale.

You just proved the point I made in my reply to mattp, you stupid left-wing nutjob. Because I reject your hysterical hyperbole about how evil and bad Bush is, does not make me a "diehard Bush lover", devotee of "Neocon" philosophy or anything else you state in your blathering diatribe. My comments about him have been nothing but lukewarm at best. You are a perfect example of how Bush hating fanatism has driven many on "your side" beyond pure irrationality and into mental insanity.

they'll be close in the rankings - the ones generated by presidential historians. you'll see. here's wikipedia's version. you can dig deeper. Clinton is not too impressive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents

Note to self: whistle loudly while using an open, backcountry shitter.

dude, you are fucking nuts. my advice is go cold turkey on the politics for a while

The world paid lip service and "commiserated" with us in public shows of political blathering/diplomatic double-talk. They would have done NOTHING of substance to help us in the "war against terror" (I hate that fucking term, BTW). I call bullshit on both points. Again, bullshit. Carter and Clinton caused true damage to our military. If anyone broke it, it was them. Bush 41 damaged it as well. Not the first deficit spender. Every president since LBJ or Nixon has done so. Clinton turned around but only through pressure of a Republican congress and by massively raising taxes. And congress is equally complicit in all of Bush's budgets. Like the nuclear non-proliferation treaty? Seems he's been fighting for that quite consistently. The point by point gets tiresome. The fact is you will not modify nor MODERATE your view points. Hyperbole and hysterionics does nothing to support your arguments. Bush is not THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER (wringing of hands, shrieking, pulling of hair). Get over it. You dislike him and everything he believes in. Maybe you hate him. And you fail to recognize that personal aversion induces a exagerrated, blurred view of him. Most annoying is how you and the assclowns on this site assume that people who challenge or disagree with you, think they must take the exact opposite polar view, when, in fact, the evidence does not support this whatsoever. To whit, the view people who fall to the right of you on this site is not that BUSH IS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT whatsoever, but just ho-hum. And judged from an historical perspective, his actions are hardly out of the norm on anything you've cited. The only exception to this would be the principle of pre-emptive strike - which is huge. I'll grant that and that alone.

Carter was worse. Much worse.

Yes, I disagree. As I've posted before I believe he is a mediocre president - right behind Bubba in the overall rankings. And I'm sure history will prove me right in a few years.

And just who will decide what is "accurate" - you and other liberal ilk? Sounds like Stalinist-style information control. Fuck that.

STFU, you babbling simpleton.

За здоров'я!

I took a spill in January on a cold clear day thanks to a fucking ice patch turning onto the Eastgate park and ride ramp. I saw the ice and went reallllllly slow and fell anyways. It hurt like hell and I still have black asphalt ground into and under the skin on one knee.

That's not much of an accomplishment; there's nothing entertaining about Kevboner.

I shit on Canuckistan!
