A new old war to dredge up!

icon_tini.gifFor all of you who are growing a little weary of the 147th year of fighting the Civil War, I invite you to take part in the ongoing Mexican-American War, where hostilities have apparently been renewed by an Absolut Vodka ad, of all things. Party like it’s 1848!

    No.

    Napolitano is a rising star and I love brisket.

    Gator – that’s Switzerland. And it’s brandy, not hot chocolate.

    “Gator, Absolut is made in Sweden, not Switzerland.”

    Correction accepted! I guess they might still have Swiss Bank accounts maybe?

    One other thing, just in case this ever gets asked on Jeopardy……….

    Which one has the big ole dogs with the hot chocolate around their neck?

    Hells yeah – Washington really needs two Vancouvers! (We’ll even give up the one we currently have to Oregon if need be)

    Gator, Absolut is made in Sweden, not Switzerland.

    Remember, these details are important since we’re no longer living in a non-global atmosphere. 🙂

    Perhaps, but I kind of like having all those high-tech scientists and engineers in the US.

    We can totally ditch the OC, though 😉

    Can we transfer San Francisco over to Mexico and keep the rest of California? 🙂

    The Absolut vodka company sells enough of its overpriced brew to hire ad agency advice from a possibly overpaid arrogant firm such as themselves. Sometimes people need a little reality check, especially when it comes to insulting the hands (or mouths) that feed them.

    I guess in desperation to tap into the Latino tequila market, it figured on going on the Mexican Airwaves with a little poke at the USA to entice them to replace their cactus juice with vodka. That little ploy probably works better in a non-global atmosphere, where you don’t have the worry of the wind “blowing” it back on you, so to so to speak.

    So……….what’s done is done. Let the Swiss maker compete with ole Jose himself, in the land of Pancho Villa, without the aid of the American cash that propelled it along to stardom.

    And then let us take up the “Cry of the Alamo”, and support the “local”, so to speak, vodka brewery of Bert Butler “Tito” Beveridge.

    Located in the Absolut “disputed” territory of Austin, Texas, surely ole Tito is more deserving of our American funds.

    Besides, how can you dismiss a brewer with a name such as “Tito” Beveridge. He should have simple instincts associated with what he does, just by his name…lol….

    Add in the ‚Äúbonus‚Äù round fact that Tito is a big Quail Unlimited supporter, and came to the big QU event in Albany, hunted and had fun, and spent mucho dollars in Georgia while here. That should cover the ‚ÄúWhat‚Äôs this got to do with Georgia?” question, as well as show he might be an ok fella.

    A good friend of mine, who was his guide said he was as nice a guy as you would want to meet, sincere, and had a great time while visiting Georgia.

    And if for no other reason can you think to switch, the Vodka taste great too, if there is such a thing.

    I can’t think of a better way to deflate an already

    over inflated Swiss Bank account……..
