  1. Sometimes I wonder if the difference between democrats and Republicans is that, except for daddy, Republicans never caught an ass whupping.
  2. Good polling shops can be led to putting out favorable numbers for internal polls, that's part of the game. All they have to do is find a reasonable sounding way to slice up the numbers and only release them in that context. Like gerrymandering, but for polls.
  3. Some day dodger will learn that the shit the gop says isn't in good faith. Yesterday was not that day.
  4. Genetics definitely plays a part. Even without though it can still take a while to really acquire the taste. You can actually take the observation that some drinks are "smooth" as a tacit admission that even to an experienced drinker, alcohol can still be harsh (especially cheaper stuff). A good mixed drink can bring out the flavor of the alcohol while suppressing the bad stuff. It definitely can taste good but still I'm not ordering a drink because of the taste, I might choose my drink based on taste (I lean toward gin and tequila drinks) but taste isn't what's on my mind when I want a drink.
  5. I'm sensitive to alcohol as well and over the years I've been able to tolerate it more but the appeal of liquor is in the effect it has on your body. Anything else is just finding which alcohol you dislike the least or can hide the best. If you're averse to alcohol and don't care for the feeling then just don't bother and don't let anyone shit talk you over it. If they're super obnoxious about it just tell them you're allergic.
  6. Oh I believe there's something and as you say that thing is transporting you to the dusky inner thigh of a 19th century Scottish bar wench. No thanks.
  7. I bet rocket fuel tastes just like the inside of a jet engine, too. That'll REALLY transport you to another place.
  8. You mean people who eat and drink things that taste pleasant? I don't find pleasure in how accurately something recreates the flavor of the bottom of a muddy boot from 1874's Scottish Highlands.
  9. She raised more this quarter yes, because this quarter Sanders transferred $10m from his Senate funds. To be clear though Warren did this as well some quarters back. But looking at this one in isolation he raised $15m + $10m transferred and she raised $25m (all figures approximated).
