End-Mid-Week Open

Here is your open thread for the next 7 days.

That which is not a thread topic, goes here. Also, any topic you want to bring back from the dead or any suggestions for a new topic, goes here.

caveat: the usual rules apply. play nice, please.

Why is it, given how this week has gone, I have the vague feeling this is going to be a U.S. politics thread?

((grin))

HA!

I fooled you...

The first comment is *not* Yankee politics!

News from the U.K.:

P.M. Gordon Brown reshuffles several ministries in the Cabinet, including Defense. From the FT

Yes, I know he says the important part is the financial / business reassignments, but no more Des Browne may mean some attitude changes at Defense.

As far as yankee politics go, I'm beginning to feel a bit like Mr. Creosote in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

@mr. bill

It has been a touch filling, to say the least, and the danger of explosion is just as high.

Changing the topic:
As I'm fresh out of mints, how about some wine? I am hearing some good things about the California Cabernet harvest...

@LDG:

You might want to write to Marian & Michael directly & get their take on it, as they pay far more attention to that, and will have educated (and possibly strong) opinions on the subject.
