Hey, Hillary fans, we got royally dissed by our fearless leader this afternoon. He implied that we are lame because we don't make the rec list very often.
Well, we might not be trendy but we are smart, witty, funny and friendly. So, I've reserved this diary for our cocktail hour. We can get together and mingle, swap stories, discuss the topic of the day and have a cocktail.
Over there to the right of the door is the open bar with our bartender with flair, Rico. Tonight's music is by Vince Guraldi and is played by Wynton Marsalis and his band. You can pick up their CD, Joe Cool's Blues on iTunes or Amazon.
Tonight's topic over the fold:
Topic: One of our candidates, who we will not name in case we are forced to apologize later, has suggested that because he gave a speech opposing the Iraq War but was not required to follow his rhetoric with an actual vote, his judgment makes him better qualified to be president and drive foreign policy affairs.
Since, I, and possibly many of you, opposed the Iraq War and made a point of telling friends and family at the time, thereby driving them away, does our judgment also qualify us to be president and to drive foreign policy? (By the way, I don't know about you but I have run for office and served three years on my local school board so I am an experienced politician. {{snark}})
Discuss.
Rico is whipping up the Cocktail du Jour, which is:
Are You Tough Enough?
1 oz Firewater® cinnamon schnapps
1 oz Everclear® alcohol
1 oz peppermint schnapps
1 oz Wild Turkey® bourbon whiskey
1 oz Jose Cuervo® Especial gold tequila
Using only 100 proof liquors, ensure all schnapps are ice cold. Combine and mix all five liquors in a cocktail glass and drink like a shot.
Well, that oughta get us in the mood.
Everybody is welcome but please leave your TR's at the door with our lovely check room assistant, Florence. Drink responsibly. Don't forget to tip your wait staff.
