Can’t really really refute painterly proof.

Jesus, I hadn’t realized he did that behind the seal of the president.

Far from it, but I like that 22/7 is numerically closer.

The in-line ads and newsletter signup popup really take the trust in this site down a bit.

I’ll grant you that good champagne is better than great domestic sparkling.

But “no matter how good it is?” I don’t care what something is called; there is good domestic sparkling, and there is bad champagne. I’d rather drink the “good “” without the label.

Interesting aside. Because the senate never recognized the article in The Treaty of Versailles that prohibited use of Champagne, there are producers on the US grandfathered into being able to, technically, use the term.

Totally agree, although I think it’s likely the police are already on board.

I actually think there will be some restrictions on the second amendment in the next four years. It’ll be targeted at “others;” liberals, minorities, immigrants. But it will be an erosion of the second amendment, and the white “come and take it” crowd will cheer.

It’s a pretty outdated view that US wine (primarily from California, Oregon, Washington) is of lesser quality of that of Europe. True, the big flagship wines -the first growth Bordeaux and premier cru Burgundy and Champagne, are rarely matched. But a large majority of American wine is on par with most European wine.

Now, of course I do not support tariffs on US imports of wine. But pushing back on the quality comment.

Facts that concern me:

1. they are on Twitter
2. they use a combined username (gross)
3. they list vacations as number one

Good info, I hadn’t seen that. I’ve been loosely following this story since before it had a name, and had only a blind Mailboxes Etc. PO box. Cautiously optimistic it does get traction.
