    People order Jack when they have no idea what they want. 

    To this day, I have no idea why Jack was Sinatra's brand. I guess he didn't like scotch? 

    It's not my brand but you'd probably appreciate it more if you toured the factory.  takes 5 days for the distillate to percolate through the charcoal stack.  it violates the definitions so is not a legal bourbon,  but those 5 days in charcoal are akin to 5 years in barely charred new oak barrels.  

    i came across this bottle at king liquor, on burnet, call Austonian. their marketing schtick was why new oak? that's not sustainable. so they reused bourbon barrels.  sounded interesting and ecologically conscious so I gave it a try.  tasted about what you would expect.  like soggy wood.  

    anyway, jack daniels is like budweiser.  it's more the history than the product.  it's what they've done for this country, the economy, what we are known for.  the people they've employed, the events they've sponsored.  

  2. dom was agonizing over who to take to final over donathan, laurel, and angela.  he chose poorly.  angela would have surely voted for him over wendell.  not sure if donathan would have.  either way when it came down to laurel picking the winner he knew he was toast.  there was no way in hell she was picking him over wendell.

    false and dumb. the 8 pc  is $24, right there on the menu, and it comes with 3 sides. and it's way better than Popeyes. cmon man.

    popeye's is have that. and no, t22 is not that much better or that much hotter even.  it's good, don't get me wrong, and for sure better than popeyes.  and another thing, popeye's sides are better.  their biscuits, their red beans and rice, their dirty rice.  way better sides than t22.  

    i'll have to try jt youngbloods next.

     I like when he said that people like Obamacare now that Obama is gone. What? It’s a shit healthcare system then and a shit one now. No one likes it. 

     

    what we like about it is the idea of it.  the fact that he stood up to the oligarchs and plutocrats and challenged the status quo.  it didn't work, it didn't accomplish much, it's upset the powerful in the system and they are making us pay for it, but what we like is that he stood up to them.  he tried. 

    I think something similar would happen with gun control.  what we want is someone to be brave enough to do something.  anything.  be bold, lead.  it doesn't have to work, it doesn't have to fix everything, but take one small step to challenge the status quo.

    Not for me and my family. Premiums went from $300/m to $1,300/m less coverage, higher deductible, nobody takes it.  Literally the bottom of the barrel for coverage.

    Johnnysack keeps talking about all these great non compliant plans that are supposed to pop up and be cheaper but I haven't seen it. 

    ACA is a fleecing of the middle class self employed.  They should have taken that corporate tax cut off the table and done something with health insurance.

    yes, Obamacare tipped over the apple cart.  what you fail to remember, or mention, is that you premiums went from $100 to $300 in the years prior.  every critic cites Obamacare in "my premiums have risen" but myopically forget that the reason for Obamacare was that premiums were rising.  skyrocketing in fact.   so what you should say, if you were honest, is that Obamacare has done nothing to reduce the rise of premiums.  but not blame the rise of premiums on Obamacare.

    The thought of it is probably the only thing that still gets Nancy wet. 

    How do you know I don't get Nancy wet?  They're real and they're fantastic.

  7. so much negativity.  no, objectivity is not dead.  we can work together to come up with common solutions.  for this to happen though we need to elect moderates, representatives willing to compromise, reach across the aisle, and work with the other party.   the end game is not winner take all, where all the chips end up in one party's hands.  the end game is making america great again, and that will only be achieved with compromise and common solutions.

  8. lots of talk about kids, and millenials, and helicopter moms, but way too many of these mass shootings are carried out by adults.  in the same vein, lots of talk about assault weapons ban when this particular shooting happened without them.  

    how about, instead of talking about the problems with kids these days, we talk about the problems we, as americans, handle being slighted.  our ex-wife wants custody, we go to her worlk and shoot it up.  our girlfriend sleeps around on us, we go to her work or home and shoot it up.  in this case, a girl turned him down, so he goes to her school and shoots it up.     why is it we are so quick to resort to gun violence when we are slighted? maybe anger management should be required before gun ownership?
