I think the Bush name is even analogous to "shit" for Repubs now. I don't think we have to worry about Jeb, now or ever. There was this whole thing on Countdown where Poppy got weepy over his departure from public life and whatnot. I didn't know Poppy had feelings, but there is taped proof of at least one.

Daisy Jane! I need to tell you: as of today, Mrs. Industries has a job offer here in Austin that seems fairly decent, and I think we're going to stay put for the time being.

Our wings are not tired.
I think Poppy was sobbing over putting the wrong son in the White House.

Now I'd vote for either Gin or Vodka. I'm easy that way.
Come out to SF again and I'll take you to the Orbit Room, Laura.
As far as I understand the issue with shaking v. stirring. Shaking will get it colder (and give you little ice chips) but be slightly more diluted. Also it can make the drink more cloudy instead of perfectly clear depending on the ingredients.
"Bruising" is, I think, just oxygenating the gin. Some people think it gives the gin too much bite. But at least with wine, you want to let it breathe and get the oxygenation.

God, if he and Joe Kennedy ever got past sectarian differences they should go bowling. In hell.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've heard a lot of praise for the Junipero, though not a gin drinker. As far as supporting my gimlet goes, you can google vodka gimlet and 8 or 9 of 10 results will have Rose's, and other results will have simple syrup.
How much is Junipero? I think what I'm going to do for my paras is get them each a bar set from TJ Maxx with a bottle of spirits. One is a gin drinker and I bet the other likes whiskey.
