Better that McCain wins?

Quickest way to cross party lines...offer wine

That works for my SO. I need something a bit more, uh.. tasty. Captain Morgan's will do for me.

straight (neat) ... on the rocks ... or mixed ?

Both.

Although, I'm a lot less willing these days to brave actually drinking straight, but sometimes just can't resist the spiced rum taste unique to the Cap.

I've mostly consumed hard liquor these days with a mix, Rum and Coke, Soco 'n Root Beer, Jack 'n Coke, Brandy 'n Apple Juice, Vodka and Orange Juice. Seems I'm spoiled in that I can just drink myself silly, with a perfect taste, just to the point of not being able to walk straight (the perfect drunk is walking and having to watch your feet in amazement that you aren't falling), and not end up with a hangover like most ####### beers cause. I only drink on the rocks if it's my only option (restaurants), but when at home, or when allowed to BYOB at certain concerts (like the Tidal Wave, held in the Bay Area every year, free and BYOB), I will make a very large drink. Doesn't take much to consume a small 750ml.

Hence, why I plan on, in the future, to brew my own beer. I will knock some socks off. My goal is the sharpness of a Wheat Beer like Hefeweizen. Not the hangover inducing Anheuser-Bullshit. We have a local brewery that makes some killer, killer Wheat Beer. So I'm not stuck just drinking harder liquors which contributed to my 50 pound gain (180lbs to 230), which will take 6 months to shave off.

After the party phase, I've only had alcohol like 3 times in the last 3 months. So I'm doing pretty good.

Edit: Damn, we need a beer topic.

bay area .... good beer ... fresh sourdough with salmon off the boat .... life is good

I read that there was a strike on Pakistan this past week. Is that correct??

So most of you are saying we are messed over no matter what happens in the election?

Yes and yes. We are so screwed. Let's go console ourselves with chocolate.

I don't think its a hopeless situation.

If Obama wins and Bush does strike Iran on his way out, its possible that Obama will be able to step in and tamp things down enough to keep it all from escalating. But first, somehow Obama and the dems in general will have to remove the Israeli lobby from around their necks to make this happen. Stranger things have happened.

I have been thinking McCain would be better also.

If McCain wins Bush would be less likely to launch air-strikes on Iran on his way out of office. Preparations have already been made for such a strike with US battleships and such gathered in the Persian Gulf.

News flash ... There are currently zero US Battleships sailing with the fleets. The last battleship in service ... USS Missouri .... was decommissioned in 1992.

Also, air strikes do not originate from battleships. As far as Iran goes, I think Israel is clearly going to destroy anything that remotely resembles a nuclear fuel conversion operation. The US doesn't have to bomb them - just watch.

Does not matter how you call it, same s*#t, US battleship or USS Speedboat Snoopy, McPalin or Bush.

there is a world of difference, perhaps you should read up what a battleship is?

It doesn't matter who takes office if Israel gets into trouble. I found this one day when I was doing a little searching:

http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Peace+Process/Gu...f+Agreement.htm

Apparently, we signed an agreement with Israel to protect them no matter what and there is no experation date on it. It was agreed upon as part of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty, but it obligates the US even from other countries.
