Boston mayoral candidate Mike Flaherty’s drink ticket looks like the place to crawl for a later “last call” in bluest Beantown, where the Irish and Italians took over from the Yankee bluebloods a long time ago, but Puritan Blue Laws never quite gave up their deathgrip on the nightlife.

So I go into the grog shop on the way home from work. Big shop, best in town … better than most towns. Wine from four or five continents and several islands, beer from Belgium with corks in it, a couple dozen kinds of stout, all the good stuff, plus all the Miller, Bud Lite you want, [...]

Yet another astute foreign observer. Tim Blair, here from my ancestral island, with a clear view from the land where water goes down the toilet the other way. “The A-Z of the U.S. Election” (Pronounce that “Zed” for added fair dinkumness) and “For Whom Will Union Square Halloweeners Vote in 2008?“

A Politico reader caught it. Apparently that true patriotism Obama was expressing by opposing the war in Iraq and his pin eschewage was wearing thin. He felt the need of some pinnage.

World-bettering boozemaker is sorry. I’ll say. And that’s nice. But first, here are some more Absolut worldviews from clever readers. This one neglects to put Absolut Sweden in the Nazi camp, which is more or less where the Nazi-enabling neutrals spent the war. via Gateway:

I always thought that sounded a little oxymoronic, but Tigerhawk holds forth on the subject, counseling people not to be moronic. I’ll hoist a frosty mug to that, but I’d just like to comment that it sounds like Tigerhawk drinks a lot more than me, yet less. On that ingrained in western history part, by [...]
