… said a guest at a party last month in a $5.11 million (Zillow estimate) Back Bay townhouse here in Boston, while drinking 20-year-old Napa Cabernet. Two other guests nodded in agreement.
Of course, I had to agree as well, so I added, “I don’t know where my next glass of 20-year-old Cabernet is coming from.”
that was a textbook sh*tpost, Phil. Made me click 🙂
Cancer? the party guests did not seem to be very empathetic, were they on bad terms?
Yeah, singer James Taylor bemoaned that it felt like it “was raining all over the world,” while on vacation in French Polynesia. Hopefully he soon gets “sunny days that I thought would never end,” to help him snap out of it. Meanwhile, from Sundance Robert Redford took a more balanced view, and pointed out that “presidents come and presidents go….”
I get the impression that the true fear of the petulant children of the left is that the next four years may turn to be pretty good ones for the United States.
Maybe the wine wasn’t that good? Robert Parker did call 1997 an “irregular” vintage for California Cab S.: http://www.erobertparker.com/newsearch/vintagechart1.aspx/VintageChart.aspx
(Although maybe we shouldn’t trust the opinion of somebody using Active Server Pages in 2017.)
i am guessing 8 years.
Alex: the wine was mostly from 1995 and 1996.
(And what’s wrong with ASP? At least with classic ASP there is just one page of code per URL so the programmer can fix a bug or tweak by opening just one file in a text editor. I would rather debug an ASP page than a tower of Java classes requiring looking at 15 different files of source code.)
Only a fool can be certain he will survive the next four years.
Check out this bit from Generational Dynamics website (like this site a historically Obama-Bashing, Trump-praising operation)
—Perhaps, in drafting this speech, Trump was influenced by his
—chief strategist Steve Bannon, who is very knowledgeable
—about Generational Dynamics and about history in general.
—But however it came about, Trump’s view of America today is
—remarkably similar to the Generational Dynamics view of
—America that I’ve been writing about for years. [me: Namely nuclear war with China is soon and inevitable]
And this further bit in the comment section (same author):
—At that point [me: After China runs out of nukes], it’s quite possible
—that the US will join these countries in delivering the final blow in
—the destruction of China’s military.
