Booze of the Week
Glenfiddich 15 year old single malt scotch is the current Booze of the Week. I’ve only first cracked this one open but damn this stuff has some flavor. First impressions are important and this one makes a good first impression. I’ll update and bump this in a couple of days when I’ve had more time to enjoy it.
Bump & Update [ArmedGeek]:
I’m unable to find fault with this scotch. Sure it may not score tops in any given category but it does place pretty high in most every aspect. If you’ve not been down the scotch path and are looking to try it, I still suggest the Macallan 12 but if you want something with a bit stronger flavor, this would be one to grab.
Not too expensive either as this came in at just shy of $50 for the fifth. The Macallan 12 and the Glenfiddich 15 certainly do make me look forward to spending more money in the scotch aisle of my friendly neighborhood liquor store.
May as well do a Football update here:

No new deaths, but we do have about 3 or 4 celebs that have been circling the drain here lately.
Frank and Beano
Today welcomes the news that Rep. Barney Frank (D- Mass), won’t seek re-election in 2012.
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will announce Monday that he is not seeking re-election, a spokesman said Monday morning.
Gee, I wonder why? It’s not like he doesn’t have one of the safest seats, right? Could it have something to do with him being the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee? Or maybe it could be allegations of insider trading? Maybe the guy is tired after 16 terms serving his constituency? Or maybe he’s tired after 16 terms of helping himself to the trough?
Whatever the reason, I’m sure he will miss Intern Week™.

The Last One
Today marks the end of an era. The traditional rivalry between Texas A&M University and University of Texas will play their last game this evening. There’s a lot of history between the schools, and suffice it to say, some of it is….not too pretty. But all things, good or bad, come to an end.
By the way, just who is watching The Longhorn Network??

Also, as a clarification to yesterday’s post: I’m not saying that I’ll sit out if Romney is the nominee. Just that pretty much any of the Not Romney candidates are preferable.
Not Romney
From TheGatewayPundit.com:
During his interview with Sean Hannity tonight Mitt Romney would not call Obama a socialist. Instead, the former Massachusetts governor said Obama was a typical “liberal democrat” like other democrats he’s dealt with over the years. Obviously, Mitt didn’t want to offend any of the media elites.
From HotAir.com:
“You have seen a lot of candidates look at their biggest vulnerability, call it a mistake, and ask for forgiveness,” Romney continued. “In my case that wouldn’t be honest.”
He affirmed that he believes the health-care program was the “right thing” for Massachusetts then, although he conceded that it hasn’t “worked perfectly.”
“If it hurts me politically, it’s a consequence of the truth,” Romney added. “I am not going to walk away from that. It’s right for states to come up with their own solutions. I doubt other people are going try and follow the one we put together. Maybe learn from our experience. Maybe come up with something better. But the wrong course is to have the federal government impose its will on the entire nation.”
This is why there’s a growing stack of logos on the right side of the page. Those are the candidates that are acceptable to me. Essentially, they’re not Romney. I simply cannot see how Romney would be an improvement over our current SCOAMF in any way.
So, in addition to adding Newt’s logo to the right, I’ll be adding this one too.

Spanish Fly
So, the sangria-swilling surrender monkeys are scared enough to throw the bum out:
[Mariano] Rajoy, who first challenged for the premiership in 2004, is expected to unseat the Socialists on Sunday amid widespread unhappiness with José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who has announced he will stand down after the vote.
I guess all that Cambio didn’t work out for España. This is what happens when you freak out and cave in to terrorists. This is what happens when you cave in to socialism via AGW dogma. You end up destroying your economy, and try to fix it by changing the guard back to conservatism. At least until such time as you feel you don’t need it any more.
The election in Spain is likely to mark a third change of prime minister in one of the four embattled southern EU countries – Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain – in the space of a few weeks. But Rajoy would be elected by the people, unlike Lucas Papademos and Mario Monti, the new technocratic prime ministers of Greece and Italy.
That’s right. THREE of the FOUR have changed PMs. The Socialists in Spain are trying to downplay the debacle by blaming it on banshees, minotaurs, and a disgruntled Dyonisus investors looking for a scapegoat. But every pendulum eventually swings back. Unfortunately for these countries, it may be too late.
But we can at least enjoy some Spanish eyecandy.
