The EPA has finally (after all these years), figured out what is killing our honey bees that are so desperately needed for our crops.  It's pesticides made by Bayer.  You would have thought we'd have some sort of government testing agency to protect our environment from that...?

Rachel Carson, Silent Spring.... then again, I could be wrong, I got married twice.

Nope, you're right.  What she wrote works here, but it's a case of repeating history because we're stupid .  she originally wrote about DDT in the early 60's.

Stupid and greedy, and we befoul our own nest. And we get the government we deserve.

They're too busy worrying about how to F up the cigar industry.

Coffee doughnuts and cigars.

Over the Holidays, I bought myself a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey (not the expensive bottle), this one was on sale for $19.xx.  And I have to say, "I'm really not that crazy about it."  To me it taste like 65% Scotch and 35% poor whiskey.  I was really surprised that it tasted like Scotch.  I guess that's silly of me to think that, but there's no mention of it being Scotch...

Can't say that.  Scotch can only be made in Scotland.  Similar whiskeys are made in Ireland, Japan and other places but are just called whiskey.  Ireland had a lot of peat and many whiskey processes result in peated end products.

Now there's a surprise!

I'm not a whiskey drinker, I drink scotch but Jameson Black is a bit more heavily peated and tastes more like scotch than other whiskeys so that's one I can drink

The Bad Dad: one part Irish whiskey and two parts prune juice.
