The discovery of 500 rounds of degraded nerve gas from before the 1st Gulf War got a lot of play on Fox News, and touted as proof that Iraq had WMD.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
juliana, that sounds good. You don't put any brandy, soda, or soda water in it, do you? A lot of recipes I'm seeing online recommend that, but I can't remember having it that way.
Nope. The brandy is too strong without the dilution of the soda water, and the soda water adds a thin taste.
I'm not a fan of white wine (unless it has bubbles in it), but I can drink the white sangria until the cows come home. It's so light and refreshing and YUM.
Also, yes - sangria needs a couple days to come to full tastiness. Melding of flavors and whatnot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I never thought of adding the juice, Trudy. That sounds like a good idea.
It makes it go down very very smooth. It is a hit at summer parties, like, the kind of hit where I keep making it and hardly get to play.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At first, I thought "by the second it was actually not that bad," meant by the second glass, and I thought, "Well, yeah."
Whoops! I guess you figured out I meant the second day. This was just cheap wine, cut-up fruit, some orange juice or something...

Yes, but the real "Big Lie" for the current thugs in office is the "Iraq caused 911" meme they've been peddling for years. At least Saddam had a history of attempting to acquire WMDs.
The same poll, indicated that about two-thirds of Americans think that Iraq had substantial ties with Al-Qaeda. It's sort of depressing.

The kids have been wanting tacos a lot, lately, and I thougth dh and I might enjoy a little Sangria with it.
I wish I could get my kids to like tacos or spagetti or both. How can kids not like tacos or spagetti?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Full name will be Matilda Azalea Smay.
Middle name from my grandmother Prudence Azalea. Spelled like the flower, but pronounced "aza-lee."
I really liked Azalea Solomon Smay (middle name from JZ's maternal side), but then realized that the initals were a no-go.
We also liked JZ's grandmother's name, Memorie. But Azalea Memorie was too rhymey.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Azalea sounds lovely in either position. As a name and as a flower.

Thanks, Fred! I've told some stories here about Prudence Azalea (my mom's birth, my grandmother's death) and she was such an amazing woman. I really wanted to honor her.

At least Saddam had a history of attempting to acquire WMDs.
And how weird is it that the 'biggest bad of the 21st century' gets practically no play in the media now that he's just a sad old man on a hunger strike?
Funny how vanquishing evil didn't get the results we were promised.
