just read a smear piece on President Trump in the Houston Chronicle
among the objective, non-biased phrases were:
President Donald Trump used his Twitter account Saturday to spread
an evidence-free conspiracy theory...
...the claim is completely unsubstantiated...
A Clinton spokesman responded on Twitter:
Ridiculous, and of course not true - and Donald Trump knows it. Has he triggered the 25th Amendment yet?
and My Personal Favorite:
He has claimed without evidence that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower in New York
Chuck, can you remind us yet; how it wasn't O'Bama that witetapped the Trump tower,
it was Just people working for him, and it was wiretapped, it was done digitally ?
My daughter looks at those neighborhood book sharing libraries, and says "bedbug transmission vector".
Zen. Now there's some obscure bullshit.
Quilting I get.
I like these little book-share boxes.
I have gotten rid of a lot of books in them!
They are capacity-limited though.
This one is handsome and stylish.
It looks sort of like a dovecote.
carrying over from the other thread:

Don't you just want to put "Art of the Deal" in that box, and monitor it with a video camera?
It would be comedy gold!
Well, I suppose NBC wasn't left enough for the executive.

Sheesh. When I saw the picture, I thought that birds in Madison could read.
You'd need a bigger box for the Being and Nothingness Cafe.
It looks like the set for the Sleeping Beauty ballet.
Not "Zen and the Art of Quilting." "Harry Potter and the Art of Quilting"!
Zen and the art of bullshitting book buyers.
@Yancey Ward (5:47) I love the way you think!
"Joe Biden has apologized for his recent seemingly racist comment, where he said that poor kids are sometimes as smart as white kids.
“Everyone who knows me knows I’m not a racist,” said Biden. “I even have a black friend, Barry. Smart, articulate guy.”
***
Aides were then seen signaling him to stop talking, but Biden pushed on.
“Rest assured,” Biden said. “I like all races, even the bad ones.”
And the Bee’s conclusion couldn’t be truer:
Media immediately jumped all over Biden’s comments, responding to his horrifying gaffe by calling on President Trump to resign."
~Babylon Bee
“This one is handsome and stylish.”
I agree. It echoes the architecture of the site: Grace Episcopal Church, across from the Wisconsin Capitol.
Big Mike,
Thanks! The downside, though, is that, no doubt, I am being red-flagged.
You're all gonna watch "Prescription Thugs" on Amazon Prime right now.
Don't give me no lip neither, just get it done.
Slate has a piece about a couple who died in an apparent murder/suicide supposedly because they were worried about medical expenses.
Since they were 73 and 76 it stands to reason that both were on Medicare. Democrats want to put everyone in that circumstance, and make it illegal to buy private health insurance to boot.
I don’t think that’s the conclusion Slate really wants its readers to come to, though.
I started watching "The Boys" on Amazon Prime last night. It, at least, has a promising beginning.
I remember Biden's comments about Dunkin Donuts in Delaware. Not A Racist, just very, very stupid.
Hello Everyone at the Professor's blog:
Just returned from Iowa! My prediction for the nominee of the democratic party:
POTUS: Warren
VPOTUS: One of three governors: CO, MT, or WA.
Trump and Pence will be destroyed.
Cheers!
Big Mike channels... Allen Funt. A small speaker hidden inside.. a few choice Trump quotes whispered? YOU GUYS!
The label "Conspiracy Theory" is highly negative. Nobody wants to be tagged as a "Conspiracy Theorist". You will lose any debate if you are stigmatized as a "Conspiracy Theorist".
I don't make the rules, I'm just describing them.
Now, here's the dilemma: Many political crimes, even murders, are in fact, conspiracies:
1. The Lincoln murder was a CONSPIRACY by Booth and 5 or 6 other confederates who, that night, also stabbed Seward, but got cold feet in an attempt to kill Johnson.
2. The Watergate burglary was a CONSPIRACY. Hunt and Liddy hired 5 Cubans to burglarize the DNC headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. Many folks believe there were larger CONSPIRACIES by Nixon officials to cover up this burglary.
So, those are 2 Bona Fide, political conspiracies. So, am I a "Conspiracy Theorist" on these two massive crimes?
And, if by logical deduction, one must concede that these two events were CONSPIRACiES, doesn't that make it legitimate to question whether other high profile political crimes are also conspiracies, without being tagged as a conspiracy theorist?
(Please Note: I am punting on JFK. I think Oswald did it, but I don't know if he did it alone or had help.)
Yes but John dean hired hunt and liddy, re Oswald there is evidence Turned up by Bob baer, that Oswald may have some ties to exiles, but that doesn't end the tale in the Russian nesting doll style
@BUMBLE BEE, credit goes to Yancey, but thanks.
Something to consider:

"Since they were 73 and 76 it stands to reason that both were on Medicare."

Everything to do with public affairs is a conspiracy.
And this is so even under normal conditions, and for mostly normal reasons.
Information cost, the trouble the public would need to go to understand complex issues;
Public choice economics, the differential power of concentrated vs diffuse interests;
The concentration and expansion and complication of bureaucratic power in government, cutting out the executive, of whatever sort, which is a standard historical process;
The concentration of power in a self-aware class, or caste. Milovan Djilas, "The New Class", complained of this developing after an ostensibly proletarian revolution. So did Mao actually. But this happens everywhere.
The result is you get policies, decisions, arrangements made without public knowledge, or often enough without the knowledge of the official leadership of the state. And you get corruption, all of the above happening outside of legal process, and you get impunity, the result of all of the above.
The result is that we rarely know why x happened, in sufficient detail, even historically. And we have very little idea what is going on in real time.
In a state of conflict, more so. Interests diverge radically. All the above become weapons, secrecy becomes deliberate, and the insiders concentrate against the outsiders - that is, usually, the people in general.
They settled out of court, mo had contacts with one person which led to a certain Washington fixer who had ties to a gangster type.
Here another twist in that light, Fidel may have been an asset for 8 years from 1948-56, that may explain the lenient treatment he received from various agencies even after the moncada attack.

My offering to this café is my own thinking on the glories of a summertime Tanqueray and Tonic.
By the time you get to my age, a man ought to know what "his" drink is. Mine is the Tanqueray and Tonic.
The gin and tonic is a simple drink. But like all simple things, it can become extraordinary with the proper execution. Here's how to do it, in my humble opinion.
The glass. For a gin and tonic, I like a good solid rock glass. It should not be a shorty, as you would with scotch or a martini on ice. And I do not care for the tall Collins glasses that so many preferred back in the 1950's and 60's. Something in between is best. And for me, I can't think of anything better than my Waterford Lismore 12 oz. double old fashioned glasses. Right weight, right depth, right opening with a beautiful cut glass rim. Waterford is a lovely product of Ireland; my quiet little pleasure is holding a Waterford glass serving an historic English drink like a gin and tonic. I have nothing against the Irish for the most part. I wish them well for the most part. But I did have a close friend, a Tory member of Parliament, who was murdered by the IRA in cold blood. I don't mind thinking about Ireland as British property.
The ice. Let's not get too over the top about couture ice. Cubes, for sure. Not crushed. Quality cracked ice is what you want. Enough said. I'm thirsty.
How to start. It's summer here in Michigan, and part of my back garden is choked with fresh mint. I take precisely one sprig of the freshest mint and drop it in the bottom of the glass. And then drop ice cubes on top of it to muddle it just a bit. This is an optional step. But fresh mint from the garden is a summer thing, and this is a summer drink. It just goes. So easy, and fun, and seasonal. If it was March and I was in New Orleans, I'd substitute a dash of Peychaud's Bitters for the mint. Or if I was playing golf in Naples in the winter, it could be a dash of Regan's Orange Bitters.
The gin. Tanqueray. Full stop.
Now; I like other gins. Bombay Sapphire in a Martini. Hendricks is fabulous. There are boutique gins. They are all wonderful, and I invite you to endorse your own favorites. But for a gin and tonic, there is only one. And arguably, Tanqueray is an inferior gin for other drinks like a Martini. I think I'd agree with all of that. But with tonic water, there is nothing like Tanqueray, and that is why I began this comment talking about a "Tanqueray and Tonic." That is the drink. It is Tanqueray -- and only Tanqueray -- and tonic.
The tonic. Fever Tree. I cannot stress this enough. Garbage tonic makes this an ordinary drink. If you've never had great tonic, you just do not know the real pleasure of this drink. Canada Dry and Schweppes are like dishwater, compared to great tonics (of which there are many). I have concluded, after much testing, that Fever Tree is the best. You might find Q Tonic in little 7.5 oz. cans in your store. That's okay. Q is okay. And that size (7.5 oz.) is perfect for making two drinks. Well done, Q. Fever Tree is commonly sold in 200 ml bottles (6.8 oz.) which are too much for one drink and not enough for two drinks. But Fever Tree, with natural Quinine, is the best. The best. Buy Fever Tree, and just keep popping them open as you need.
The lime. Fresh. That's not hard. Fresh lime from you local store.
After you drop a sprig of mint in the glass, and drop the cracked ice on the mint, squeeze a couple of drops of lime juice on the ice. Not much; just a few drops. Then toss a see-through sliver of lime into the glass on the ice. Then pour 2 oz. of Tanqueray over the ice, and pour 4 oz. of Fever Tree over that. You're done. Enjoy it, for the few minutes before you'll want another. Like summer itself.

@narciso,
Yes, yes, yes, but if we start talking about Dean & Mo & Silent Coup, we go sprawling off into interesting, but irrelevant matters (as to Epstein).
Based on Lincoln and Watergate - two big conspiracies - I posit that conspiracies are not beyond the pale for big DC/NYC scandals.
Chuck, glad to see (at least) that you put Lime in your Gin and Tonics; i've met sick Mother Fuckers that DON'T put in Lime...
Opinions on Rose's Lime Juice?
The 24 year that took me across the Border to Wisconsin, on by 18th birthday (back in 1980) told me that She felt the trick was: fresh Limes, AND Rose's Lime Juice.
I'd have to agree, since i've never have one any other way
Conspiracy is perhaps the wrong word, power networks operating to achieve certain policy goals, the committee to reelect was like intertel with a narrower clientele (they were drawn from puzzle palace, company bureau operatives)
Yay, Chuck! He's hit 50 straight comments without mentioning "Trump" or "Althouse". So, now he gets to drink Gin on my dime. Well done!
On another note, no videos of Epstein hanging himself. .
What a surprise!
Now the Lincoln conspiracy was a espionage and direct action network behind union lines a little skorzenys unit in the ardennes, all their acts were criminal but to accomplish a military objection, what we would call a decapitation strikem
Similarly espionage and development efforts lead here:

I don't drink much at all, and I've never had any gin let alone and tonic, Chuck, but I have admit, you made me want to give one a try. Well done.
And well done on the 50.
Narciso,
The other explanations for leniency after Moncada -
- One is that it seems the Cuban state showed an often astonishing official leniency towards political violence. It was an era when univerdity-student political thugs were regularly shooting each other. This leniency may have been a sort of counterbalance to extensive unofficial-official violence, which was meted out to about half the participants in the Moncada affair. There was a tension between organs of the state in this.
- Racism. The Cuban military was almost all black-mulato, as was Batista. The revolutionaries were almost all white. The Cuban legal system and most of the bureaucracy was also white.
- Caste. Castro and just a few of the conspirators were university boys, like their judges. There is a great respect often shown for such, a sort of benefit of clergy. You see something like this elsewhere, as in the leniency shown numerous Filipino coup leaders, 1986-1990s. Professional soldiers did not like seeing their own kind suffering grave consequences, even if their excesses killed some other soldiers.
The allies ran multiple networks into Germany, Pope Pius directed one the Mueller ring with remnants of the old catholic party and military, mark riebling is the authority (that may explain otherwise unthinkable behavior)
I congratulate Chuck.
Yes there is definitely some of that, this pattern also manifests in Venezuela in reverse some 40 years later, the military is largely mestizo the upper class very pale. Caldera who had been very dynamic in the late 60s, came back much diminished in the 90s.
I hate Castro. Wrecked a beautiful country, and almost engineered a nuclear war with the Soviets. Terrible man.
Imagine how I've felt, somewhat akin to ho chi Minh and bin laden, he fooled alot of govt bodies into believing they had common interests (eg toppling trujillo)
Yes honasan even triana a generation later, the way you end a revolt is you cauterize it.
The boys is a deconstruction like watchmen, from what I've heard, but much more perverse laszlo might like it.
So all cameras were down or was it just that wing, same for the guards who had ultimate authority.

Chuck: Well done sir!
I have never considered the idea of putting a gently muddled mint leaf in a T&T (and I agree with you about the first T), but I will try it. If it is Good, I will start to (carefully) grow mint in my garden (I am told it likes to take over, and I hate competition).
[Separately, speaking of mint, a proper Mint Julep, with pulverized (not cracked) ice, fresh mint leaves, finely powdered sugar, and good Bourbon is a remarkable aphrodisiac for females. Males must use with caution, for obvious reasons.]
I knew that the Canada Dry was the weak point of the drink (Canada, what do you expect?) but thanks for the tip. I will seek the Tree and advise of my opinion by and by.
Have you tried the Rangpur version of Vitamin T? I believe it has merit.
Re: tonic: Jack Rudy tonic syrup and soda bests any premixed tonic I’ve ever had.
Can anyone tell me if the Clintons have been completely exonerated in the matter of Epsteins death?
Pre-kindle days I used to take my books to the closest assisted living/nursing home. As a child/teen, before I was able to drive, I hated it when I didn’t have something new to read. Many of our elderly suffer from that problem.
Monday should be an interesting news day.
Epstein's death on Friday night/Saturday morning conveniently missed the normal news cycle.
I predict that MSNBC and CNN will be highlighting Epstein's past relationship with Trump and never once mention that Trump threw him out and barred him from Mara Lago almost 10 years ago.
Probably, they will ignore the deposition almost entirely:

A very nice #50 Chuck. Thanks!
It's a timely note for me too. We've mostly been having Palomas here in the summer, but as there were no grapefruits around and I was too lazy to go get any, we ended the afternoon with G&Ts. While I defer to YOUR wisdom on YOUR drink, I'll contend that as with food in France or Blue Cheese Dressing, even "not so good" is pretty damn fine. Ours were made with Bombay Sapphire (all we had) and Canada Dry (Same). we did have fresh limes and I like to put a good squeeze of and eighth of lime in the bottom of the glass. Anyway we enjoyed our more pedestrian version just fine.
Of course the real secret is to have three of them before dinner.
Congratulations Chuck. I've never heard of Fever Tree but will look for it here in northern Ca. I like your mint idea. This summer I've been going back and forth between regular limes and the small, more floral limes they have at the Mexican groceries.
"One Little Pill" Naltrexone could end millions of problems overnight. But greed, greedy greed.
Naltrexone, sold under the brand names ReVia and Vivitrol among others, is a medication primarily used to manage alcohol or opioid dependence.[1] An opioid-dependent person should not receive naltrexone before detoxification.[1] It is taken by mouth or by injection into a muscle.[1] Effects begin within 30 minutes.[1] A decreased desire for opioids, though, may take a few weeks.[1]
Side effects may include trouble sleeping, anxiety, nausea, and headaches.[1] In those still on opioids, opioid withdrawal may occur.[1] Use is not recommended in people with liver failure.[1] It is unclear if use is safe during pregnancy.[1][2] Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist and works by blocking the effects of opioids, both those from inside and outside the body.[1]
Naltrexone was first made in 1965 and was approved for medical use in the United States in 1984.[1][3] As of 2019, the wholesale cost of tablets is about US$0.78 per day in the United States.[4] The extended-release injections cost about $1,267 per month ($41.20 per day).[4] Naltrexone, as bupropion/naltrexone, is also used to treat obesity.[5] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naltrexone

There cannot be a conspiracy theory without a theory. I see talking heads call anyone with doubts or questions — no theories — conspiracy theorists.
We don’t know much yet. Conclusion jumping should be avoided.
I made it through The Boys on Amazon. By the end, I didn't like it, but there were more plot hooks than plot holes and I kept going. Some of the gore was well done, and there was an excellent eye gouging scene. It was remarkably cynical about many aspects of American life. I don't mind them blowing the lid off of the superhero/industrial complex and evangelical Christians, but it's a wonder how they can be so cynical about so many aspects of American life and yet be so accepting of all the liberal shibboleths. It's satirical and edgy without ever once running the sharp edge against any liberal piety....Also, I noted a disturbing trend in this and many othe recent productions. There's more male than female nudity.
Look at that comfortably smug link, you could have three teams, mi 6, company, dgse, one takes out the cameras some kind of electronic interence, one to notify the guards, a third to do the deed, were focusing on motives and opportunity over means for now.
Well the deep state must be incorrigably evil, how evil the heroes let one of the hijacked planes crash into the Brooklyn bridge out of negligence. The boys are the wet works op that goes after the so called heroes,
now did some prankster post an edit to Ghislaine's bio on Wikipedia
saying she died August 18, 2019 ?
Isnt she Jeff's partner in crime? Do we care where she is?
Doesnt she know about the same amount of dirt that Jeffery did?
Would that make her about as likely to 'commit suicide'?
she's not going to "fall off a boat" like daddy, is she?
Congrats on #50 Chuck.
On the other hand, I don't like gin. Bourbon man myself. But I've got a couple of friends who swear by T & T and I'm going to see if they know of Fever Tree.
Well if it happens dont be surprised,

None dare call it treason. The Boston Tea Party was a successful conspiracy. None of the perps were ever named. The Governor tried to implicate John Hancock and Samuel Adams but there was no proof.... The Tea Party is never referred to as a conspiracy, but it was, and a fabulously successful one too. If the British had won out, it would have been remembered the way the Gunpowder Plot now is.

I used to drink gin and tonic all the time and just stopped for some reason. Now I know why - the gin wasn't Tanqueray and the tonic wasn't Fevertree, the ice wasn't cracked, there was no mint under or over. My palate couldn't take the abuse. There was something special about the glasses but I kind of think they said "Chivas Regal" or maybe "Merry Christmas." Yes, this was college days.
Hypothesis - so, if something unfortunate happens to Ghisilane Maxwell in the next, say, 3 months, would that suggest some form of guiding hand in this scandal?
I can readily accept that LHO was an embittered little Commie who shot JFK - but Ruby shooting LHO is so blatantly a mob-ordered hit to "silence" a testifying witness, that it defies all logic to deny this.
My 2 cents.
Ps lighten up Walter!
I won’t call a foul on Tanqueray and tonic but I get a peppermint or menthol quality I sometimes find unappealing. Bombay sapphire does the trick.
Hendricks is right out.
The tonic only needs not to overwhelm the gin. Canada Dry works fine.
Well played Chuck..

"Since they were 73 and 76 it stands to reason that both were on Medicare."
On Medicare your total bill for a year cannot exceed $6000. Since Medicare is always refusing payments for procedures and lab tests, usually only covering about one ninth of a bill, you can end up owing $6000 very easily. And the two of them could have owed $12,000 each year they lived. Medicare is not what people think it is but you can't make people listen.
Well yes Jack rubenstein was running numbers since 1947, for the outfit, and did other things however it's just as easy they appealed to his patriotism.
@BayAreaGuy
where is she?
Isnt she basically Jeffery Espstein Lite?
Why arent we hearing about her?
Why isnt she as much in the news as JE? And as much hot water?
OK, so we screwed up (???????) with #1, but you have #2 unprotected
also?
what is the tensile strength of credulity?
Medicare is very good about paying for drugs. You only pay 10% of cost and Medicare pays the rest and doesn't refuse to pay. But some drugs are $500 for 30 day supply. So that's $50 dollars a month for one drug. Some people are on 5 different ones. Plus paying off their $6,000 dollar deductible. Again, people just don't understand what Medicare is and what it is not.
I hate the twee little book sharing thingees. Give your books to a thrift store like a normal person. These things remind me of the assholes on the trails who put their dog poop in a plastic bag and then leave the bag on the trail.
Unlike Epstein, shes learned the art of not being seen, I did notice there was a high profile suicide Louis turra, of the philly mob in 1997.
"Again, people just don't understand what Medicare is and what it is not. "
Or how providers will respond if vastly expanded.

T&T is great summer time drink to have in your drinking line up. I was introduced to Gin by my mother! She acquired the love Gin while stationed in Europe during WWII. As an officer, she had a liquor allowance. One bottle of whisky, and One bottle of Gin. Being a child of the Depression, and also having her father run off from the family, she was had an especially hard financial upbringing. With all of that, she had a keen sense of value. Quickly learned that she could trade her ration of Whisky for Gin, at a two or three to one ratio. Did I say she was really smart?

Chuck. Congrats and nice post on gin and tonics. Enjoyed one ☝️ tonight with my wife but we prefer Tanquery Rangpur in the summer. Extra touch of lime.
On a separate note - did 2 guided tours of the Freedom Trail in Boston last week. Neither guide seemed to appreciate my suggestions that there might be a market for a tour from the British Redcoat perspective.

Make your usual drink, and then add a drop or two of Liquid Smoke, a flavor enhancer that winds up (at least in our house) in soups and sauces that need a little something different.
Yum.
I like gin, but in Martinis' not Gin and Tonics so much. On the T&T, if I were to make one, the glass and the ice cubes would be chilled sub zero first. I guess I will have to try one with Chuck's suggestion of Fever Tree Tonic. I have seen it at the liquor store, will give it a try.

BTW, is there a shorter version of the fuss re the thread re Althouse jabbering about toxic masculinity?
I went through a hundred or so, starting from the end.
Seems like someone must have suggested that women in particular (as singled out from all folks (or Mexican heritage folks (or whatev, other than what Althouse's fussing was re, i.e. being a gal))) shouldn't need to be ready to shoot men when they buy bread.
Since toxic masculinity requires that gals must always be ready to shoot men (according to Althouse), perhaps we should work to un-toxic the dudes, rather than train the gals to shoot the dudes (who, FTR, can have their own guns).
Just spit ballin' re solutions re Althouse's concern re the oppression of gals re toxic masculinity.
Trump ... said that his allegations [of wiretapping by Obama] were made "just on a little bit of a hunch and a little bit of wisdom maybe", and that he thought his allegations were "pretty insignificant" when he made them.

For vodka, find a bottle of Black Cow. English, and according to an old Mongolian tradition, from milk. As Monkey 47 might be the finest gin, Black Cow might be the finest vodka.
Why compromise. Life is short.

Joe Scarabough just said Barr allowed JE to commit suicide.
I’m not sure I agree with every point in that post, Chuck, see above. And Double Dutch tonic is the best, IMHO, but that was a remarkable post.
The Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon available through the Amazon portal makes a great summer drink with Hendricks.
Morning Joe, “Barr and Trump have a lot to answer for!”
Cucumber is better in a gin and tonic than lime, IMHO. Crush up a couple of slices, I mean if you want to really put summertime into your drink.
Joe is. trying to whip up another assassination attempt. that’s what MSNBC does, right? Whips people into a righteous anger where they will take up arms and shoot Republicans.
I see the FBI is on the Epstein investigation. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
This is probably why Strzok is so desperate to get his old job protecting the Clintons on the inside back.
Many thanks to Chuck! My next gin & tonic will be modeled after yours.

“What happens to Jeffrey Epstein’s money and homes now? Can feds seize everything?”
There are two types of forfeiture: criminal and civil. Criminal forfeiture is in personam (against the person). Civil forfeiture is in rem (against the thing). This was filed as part of the criminal complaint, so is criminal forfeiture. The person here effectively ceased to exist two days ago, so I expect that cause of action to have disappeared at the same time.
It did work for one of its purposes, which was to keep Epstein from using it to collateralize bail - the judge noted that the United States had already, at the time of the bail hearing, demanded forfeiture of the property Epstein was trying to use as collateral. It doesn’t work very well as collateral for bail, if the government is going to get the property, regardless. Might as well flee the country, if the collateral is forfeit anyway.
The government though should be free to file for in rem Civil Forfeiture. The “res” (plural of “rem”) are still available for suit, even if Epstein no longer is. The government merely has to show that the res were used in the crimes by a preponderance of the evidence, which for most of the physical (real) properties, shouldn’t be very difficult. The mansion in NYC should be trivial, since it contained a large trove of kiddie porn. The Lolita Express, his 727, would probably have been fairly easy to prove to have been used in his crimes - except he sold it several weeks before his arrest. His other jet may be more difficult to prove to have been such an instrumentality.

My fave G&Ts aren't made with Tanqueray because, strangely I find it too smooth. (but perfect for a martini for the same reason) Rather, I prefer a gin w. more "bite" like Beefeaters for G&Ts. Note: Ever notice after a long session of G&Ts one's mouth starts to feel parched? Try switching to RUM & tonic to re-freshen it. (I recommend Appleton White, a Jamaican rum.)
Americans always use ice.

Tanqueray Ten, I hope.
Tanqueray Ten is the Tanqueray for Martinis. Yummy. I prefer regular Tanqueray for G&T.

Cucumber is better in a gin and tonic than lime, IMHO. Crush up a couple of slices, I mean if you want to really put summertime into your drink.

... And Double Dutch tonic is the best, IMHO, but that was a remarkable post.
The Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon available through the Amazon portal makes a great summer drink with Hendricks.
I love the cucumber idea. Although I have a hard time imagining a gin and tonic without a lime. Double Dutch is new to me and I will try it. Your idea of a Hendricks G&T sounds great!
Yancey Ward: Don't you just want to put "Art of the Deal" in that box, and monitor it with a video camera?
My husband and I often joke about what we should insinuate into those twee little boxes in our piously blue neighborhood. (The Bell Curve? The Camp of the Saints?)
I agree that the box in the photo is a very nice box.
Chuck: Your post @7:15 PM makes those libations sound so delicious and refreshing and civilized that I'm tempted to try one - even though, aside from the rare cognac on an unusually bitter winter's evening, I never drink any kind of hard liquor, and particularly loathe gin.
"The Bell Curve? The Camp of the Saints?"
These would go in a flash. The hidden hunger for the transgressive is a thing.
They are too cowardly to be public about it.
Scored me some Fever Tree. Now for a science experiment.
buwaya @12:23 PM: Likewise The Selfish Gene. I'm saving my copy for my grandson in a year or so.
I may be able to ruin him for life. (He already has my copy of Powers of Ten.)
