  1. @distantcities Looks like I'll have to get that CD. Listening to Steve Earle at the moment mind you. Acoustic, obviously...
  2. @psbook Fair enough. But as you know I'm not advocating killing the bill, merely resolving matters so everyone can "move on".
  3. Pass it. Kill it. Just don't let it limp on forever. Good luck with health care reform America. Or bad luck. Or whatever. Just end it.
  4. Bugger. Close to running out of cooking whisky. What next? Port? Pink champagne? Belhaven?
  5. @distantcities Alas I cannae afford whisky futures...
  6. @distantcities 45 yr old Springbank *may* be the best dram I've had....
  7. @distantcities Does that mean you shared it with other people? Or just with people who didn't appreciate what they were getting?
  8. Also: How the Kaiser killed Scottish football by killing my team: http://bit.ly/3eTQty
  9. Remembrance Sunday: http://bit.ly/ccGsS
  10. @distantcities I like Jura. Also Springbank. But often content myself with Black Bottle.
  11. @distantcities Also run out of Scapa. I have a weakness for Orkney...
  12. @distantcities Highland Park!
  13. Out of good whisky. Cooking Bells it is.
  14. @MattZeitlin To some extent. But they, er, wanted to make sure. So it wouldn't happen again.
  15. @MattZeitlin I recommend this Roman novel and note you can get it for $0.09!!! http://bit.ly/3UrEdI
  16. @KateMaltby As you know, Cicero was a lawyer. And a politician. QED?
  17. @MattZeitlin Yes, but long enough ago for that not to matter. Also, Carthage really was an "existential threat" to Rome.
  18. @ezraklein It was Marcus Cto - Cato the elder - who ended all speeches with Carthago delenda est. Doubt Hoekstra as good as Cato however.
  19. @ezraklein Hoekstra: "I will vote no, because that's the vote that says 'I love my country.'" Cicero not proud, but Marcus Cato might be.
  20. @willwilkinson @mattzeitlin Well, yes, tough game for the Hawkeyes. But Stanziball had to come a cropper at some point...
