Democracy, Tanqueray, Sexy

Drinking gin is no longer just a pleasing tipple. Now it's a righteous cause.

Never Pass Up An NRO Link For Post-Pimping:

James Bond, as written by George Galloway and Michael Moore.

Andrew Sullivan finally admits he once supported "rought tactics" for terrorist prisoners... before Bush supported the Federal Marriage Amendment, at least.

Good economic news, accompanied, for no good reason, but a cheesecake picture of Justine "Mallory from Family Ties" Bateman.

Fisking an unobjectionable article about archaeology, just because I'm in a bad mood. (Content warning.)

Tanqueray works better in the headline, but make mine a Sapphire.

Beefeater..it doesn't get more British. Cheers.

After work today, I'm going on the hunt for a good British beer. Not a big fan of gin.

Posted by: Slublog on July 7, 2005 01:55 PM

Today I'm a gin man.

Slublog, try the Boddington's. Excellent.

First photo is up. Discovered I already had some Bombay, but bought more anyway.

Howsabout a Guinness?

Posted by: NickS on July 7, 2005 02:24 PM

I'm flogging this hard, and giving credit to Ace. This performs two functions: one, I drink at noon; two, hopefully it will dig Ace out of the doldrums; three, when I drink I can't count well, and man do I feel a kinship with my brethren Brits.

Posted by: rho on July 7, 2005 02:34 PM

Ace,

Tonight, after my swim.

Gin.

Posted by: on July 7, 2005 02:35 PM

Guinness is for those bloody filthy Irish papists

No offense to any Irish around

Posted by: brak on July 7, 2005 02:36 PM

I'm in. Off to the shop to find some good brit beer. Any suggestions? We've got a lot of toasts to make tonight.

Discovered a nasty thing about Flickr groups, you have to be a member in order to see the photos. Oh well, here's the first photo:

http://flickr.com/photos/13912026@N00/

Join Flickr and join the group. I need to add a link to Ace's page, too. Doing that now.

Posted by: rho on July 7, 2005 03:41 PM

Well, I just got back from the grocery store. The only British beer I could find was Bass. I'll send pictures later.

Posted by: Slublog on July 7, 2005 04:07 PM

Okay, forget Guinness. Bass it is!

Posted by: NickS on July 7, 2005 04:23 PM

Drinking gin is no longer just a pleasing nipple? Well, no. But, is a pleasing nipple no longer a gin drink?

Posted by: on July 7, 2005 07:08 PM

My pref would be Boodles, but I will gladly switch to Tanqueray in support of the Brits. (and I shall strike a match to a cigar of "Churchill-ian proportion as well)
Cheers!

Posted by: JT on July 8, 2005 06:03 PM

Make mine a Boodles, with a twist!

Posted by: Mortimer Snead on July 8, 2005 06:04 PM

Bully for me! I have some Guinness in the fridge and Beefeater in the freezer!

(I take pride in my bar variety when Hosting...
Plus I drink alot... :) Hic!

Posted by: Ken_ImALondonerNow on July 8, 2005 06:07 PM

I'll have a few tonight.

And an Corner link as well. Nice

Posted by: brak on July 8, 2005 06:21 PM

LaBatt's Blue from Her Majesty's Dominion just north of here.

And a few rousing verses of "Jerusalem"

"And did Those feet
In ancient times
Walk upon England's
Mountains green?"

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.
Erika Kirk was present.

Podcast: Sefton and CBD wonder about the Chaos that Trump is creating in the minds of the Iranian junta, Virginia redistricting is pure power grab, Ilhan Omar is many things ...and stupid too! Amazon censoring conservative thought again, and the UK...put a fork in it!

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
