Ha! Best satirical wine review ever:

It was brilliant, with hints on the nose of Polish sausage, powerful chronic cultivated on the warm, gentle, rain-swept, drug-addled upland slopes of Maui, cordite (the kind that lingers in the air after firing 3-400 rounds in an enclosed space) and petroleum. On the palate I detected turkey, shrimp shells and Samuel Adams Holiday Brew.

Harry Taylor, aka John Q. Public, speaking truth to President Bush yesterday:

You never stop talking about freedom, and I appreciate that. But while I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges, to try to preclude me from breathing clean air and drinking clean water and eating safe food. If I were a woman, you’d like to restrict my opportunity to make a choice and decision about whether I can abort a pregnancy on my own behalf.

Average people have to turn the tide!
