Go to Magpie and read the rest of this great post to get the links to read Moyers. I swiped her image too. If it were a real ad, I’d switch to Absolut Vodka (although I hate Vodka — I’m not a martini man), but as it is, Old Crow works for me. Too bad they don't make a bourbon named “Old Magpie”, or “Young Magpie”. Whatever, her blog is worth taking a look at. Good stuff.
Bill Moyers is giving one hell of a speech on his current speaking tour out on the West Coast. If you don’t already understand how corrupt the current US government is now, you’ll get the picture after reading what Moyers has to say.
I tried to buy one of those bottles in the liquor store this morning, and I was referred to a PAC.

Posted by: Simbaud on February 27, 2006 12:37 AMI picked up this little tidbit from the internet. I take it that you're not a Bond fan:
"James Bond was a hard-core vodka martini drinker who prefered his cocktail "shaken, not stirred." Due to his popularity, the cocktail was the hottest drink of the 1960s. However, we believe his fondness for vodka was due in large part because Smirnoff bought the product placement rights in the films. Before the movie series almost all martinis were made exclusively with gin."
