Agree that Woodford Reserve is wonderful. Makes a super Mint Julep but is best sipped on a couple of rocks. There's alot of good stuff out there... about as many as there are tastes of the consumers it seems.

Yep, people only buy it because of advertising. (Sheesh). Your "better tasting whiskeys" are simply to your taste. To each his own.

79%....... got lucky on a few but I knew my Studbakers!

There's a reason JD is the #1 best-selling brand in the world. It simply tastes better. Recently, I overheard someone ordering "Dickel and Drop" - George Dickel and SunDrop. YUCCCH!

Its like it has a set of large stones....

Good one, Will Carry.

Thanks for posting, Crimson. Must reads are "Lone Survivor", the story of Lt. Murphy's last mission, and "Gates of Fire", mentioned in the Yahoo article. The Military Sealift Command also has named numerous ships after Medal of Honor winners (Ship Namesakes) from past wars. Especially be sure to read the citation for Army Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez from his service in Viet Nam. Incredible bravery. He was awarded the MOH by President Reagan and has since passed away.

..... and he was Jewish

We'll see just what Allah can do for him now.

I would be someone dropped a dime on him and will take the $25 million price on UBL's head. I just hope it was a unilateral op by the U.S.

UBL deserved what he got. I just hope it came at the end of a SEAL or Delta or (my preference) CIA M4. Pakistan has "some 'splainin' to do" if he was in Islamabad. Our installations around the world need to be on high alert now as the Muslim kooks will revolt.

Laktrash - So very sorry for the loss of your Sadie. My sincerest condolences.

I travel extensively and have used Travel Pro for years. Both large suitcases (to be checked on longer trips) and carry-ons for 2-3 days. Good quality, even the lower end of their brand.

Interesting read and I'm sure there are strong views on both sides. However, the fact that we are even talking about this means to me that there is some validity to it. Times are changing and I often wonder how our country will handle it... and where we will end up. I still have trust in the "American Way" and hope we can overcome our own shortcomings. On the other hand, given the current political leadership in this country - on all sides - I am losing confidence in our future economically, politically, militarily, etc. IMF bombshell: Age of America nears end Brett Arends' ROI - MarketWatch

Needs gun ports.

I'm with 6.8.... this is all so premature. Too early to get enthused or depressed.

As someone said earlier, don't get uptight when the light turns green and there isn't immediate movement. Count... 1...2...3... they'll get goin'. People here do things for folks and don't ask for anything in return. Learn to like sweet iced tea. I've lived all over the world and been all over the U.S. Middle Tennessee is perhaps one of the best places on earth to be, all things considered. Hope you enjoy living here.

Happy (and safe) Shooting!

Michael Ramirez is the BEST and IBD is very much worth reading on a daily basis. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations! Sounds like a great relationship. The Mrs. and I just celebrated our 33rd in February. Without her, I'd have been in jail or dead I believe.

All is not lost. Underscore/bold emphasis below is mine. This is the real issue here and, imho, is a perfect example of how government has gone off track. “I think it’s fine if someone wants to fill their home or business with the light from the new bulbs. I also think it is fine if someone wants to buy an old-fashioned bulb because it works better for them. If left alone, the best bulb will win its rightful standing in the marketplace. Government doesn’t need to be in the business of telling people what light bulb they have to use,” said Senator Enzi, who authored the BULB Act. Here's the entire article.

Keep your head down. God Bless you and so many thanks to you and your comrades.

Wonderful news! Prayers continue.
