Origine Bourbon

Well, it's bourbon so it must be good!

Well, not bad.

Sweet vanilla and butterscotch nose. Mmmm, sweeter than my go-to Beam. Not much alcohol, hmmmm, yep just 80 proof.

Taste: light bourbon, a bit thin, caramel and vanilla and a bit of oak. Little if any burn, it'd be better at 90 or 100 proof.

Finishes with a bit of spice and lingering oak. Mmmmmmm that oak lingers...

Overall an easy sippin bourbon that won't put any hair on yer chest.

123 MPH!!!

Here is my new black Arctic Cat F1100 Turbo LXR:

Yes, it has 177 hp and, yes, it is fast.

I've rode the required 600 break-in miles before I opened it up. (I didn't have the needed conditions to see its maximum speed, I think it has another 10 mph or so top end.)

Black Maple Hill Bourbon

Very Good!!!

Dayton conspires to make shutdown painful

Shutdown was planned well in advance!

Early in the process when it was becoming clearer that the shutdown was going to happen there was discussion between the governors office and the coalition group ( a group made up of a wide variety of unions including AFSCME, MAPE ,Teamsters, and others who discussed on how broad the shutdown should be. All parties agreed that for the shutdown to be most effective, that the public had to feel the pain and realize what state workers do for this State. The best way for this to happen would be a real shutdown involving many state workers, in lieu of a partial shutdown.

This should be front page news. Dayton uses Minnesotans as political pawns.

Stuborn Jackasses

Yes, Obama and the Democrats are trying to bankrupt this country. Do we need to hit rock bottom in order to save our economy?

It doesn't look like a duck or quack like one...

A budget increase of thousands of millions!!!

So it is not a cut!!!

Are there that many stupid sheeple that think a couple thousand million dollars increase is a cut.

RIP Joel R

Sad news that Joel Rosenberg has passed away. I first met Joel online on the Star Tribune Talk section. He was instrumental in human rights and the 2nd Amendment...

He will be missed.
