I saw a shiny penny on the street today. I think that's the realistic version.

What it takes for gods to fall? I'd say a titanic effort, but we know how that ended. Perhaps apropos.

Takes me back to the compiz fusion desktop cube days. This masterpiece would have the wobbly windows effect and everything.

Lovely imagery, but I think words get in the way of the magnitude of the wealth here.

There's (unfortunately) not a realistic scenario where he's not a billionaire.

Administrator Lee Zeldin claimed the program lacked oversight and favored politically connected nonprofits.

Same as it ever was.

It's just a problem because they're grants to non-profits for something he doesn't like and not subsidies to for-profit companies for dinosaur juice.

The only environment he cares about is the corporate hydrocarbon environment.

Heck yeah. I've already started with my whiskey purchases. Blue State bourbon FTW.

Redbreast or bust for my money.

But it's weird to see Catholics and Protestants in the same comparison. We definitely live in a different time.

Current owners (proximo spirits of NJ, subsidiary of Becle SAB de CV, e.g. Cuervo)

Pretty much nada in lobbying: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/summary?cycle=2023&id=D000091354

But owned by a Mexican company? Fuck it, 🍻.

For the founders:

All D's: https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=George+Stranahan

All R's (and an L): https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=jess+graber

So, mixed.

I'll keep an eye out!

CO seems a bit complicated for me, being fairly purple.

Looks like 291 is in Colorado Springs, a place further ruined for me by memories of Focus on the Family and Dr. Dobson from my childhood. But at least it isn't Boebert's district I guess.

Stranahan's is Denver though, so that's definitely fair game.

Now you got me thinking about trawling open secrets for donor information by owners...

Can confirm.

A bit sharper than the stuff I'm used to drinking from ... Dixie.

Worth the trade-off in my book. Even if my favorite juice is owned by an Italian company. Sorry Jimmy.

That sounds fantastic!

Just what I could grab on the shelf conveniently so far.

• Redwood Empire - Pipe Dream
• Woodinville - Straight Bourbon

Come on Dems, this is like the house speaker vote. It's up to them to pass it. Don't give in to their messaging. In fact, be better. Do your own messaging.

As an American whiskey drinker, good.

I've also committed to buying only Blue State whiskey. My last two bottles were CA and WA.

I'd love recommendations for what to seek out next.

Time to rethink the reapportionment act of (checks notes) 1929.

Sidenote: I didn't really need to check my notes, but it added a dramatic flair for the 96 year old establishment of the number of representatives.

Why is the GOP so soft on crime?!

You should definitely post in a relevant community to help build the proverbial field of dreams!
