Mouthful . . .

. . . and that's just the description . . .

(courtesy of Red Tail Ridge Winery)

". . . Aromatics of cocoa nib, concentrated plums, bark, boysenberries and dried cranberry. Notes of wet earth, vanilla and menthol follow. Flavors of black cherries, nutmeg, dried leaves and seedy wild strawberries, with minor notes of smoked ham and tobacco present themselves on the palate. The mouthfeel is chalky with a sinewy grip midpalate that is emphasized by lip smacking acidity which carries through the finish. . ."

Don't . . .

. . . believe everything you read . . .

. . . literally!!!. . .

(from http://www.anonews.co/conspiracy-theories-that-turned-out-to-be-true/)
". . . Nazi leader Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in Berlin in 1945, but actually ended his days in Argentina. . . According to British journalist Gerrard Williams and Simon Dunstan in their new book Grey Wolf: The Escape Of Adolf Hitler, they claim they have discovered overwhelming amount of evidence “to suggest Hitler died an old man in South America.”. . . The new book claims that Hitler lived in Argentina for 17 years and could have been raised two daughters before he died in 1962. . . They also claim that the Hitler skull fragments which are previously used to confirm his death of a gunshot wound to the head are actually that of a young woman. . . “We didn’t want to re-write history, but the evidence we’ve discovered about the escape of Adolf Hitler is just too overwhelming to ignore,” Williams told Sky News. . . “Stalin, Eisenhower and Hoover of the FBI all knew there was no proof of him dying in the bunker,” Williams added. . ."

Embers

(Embers by Sara Teasdale)
I said, "My youth is gone
Like a fire beaten out by the rain,
That will never sway and sing
Or play with the wind again."

I said, "It is no great sorrow
That quenched my youth in me,
But only little sorrows
Beating ceaselessly."

I thought my youth was gone,
But you returned -
Like a flame at the call of the wind
It leaped and burned;

Threw off its ashen cloak,
And gowned anew
Gave itself like a bride
Once more to you.

The Embers

Did I . . .

. . . mention our WONDERFUL press?. . .

. . . This was one of the top stories on NBCNews.com yesterday. Is it any wonder that some think this man is a viable presidential candidates? . .

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/key-source-disputes-times-story-trump-s-behavior-women-n574741)
". . . Key Source Disputes Times Story on Trump's Behavior With Women
by JANE C. TIMM
The woman whose personal story led a New York Times feature casting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump as sexist and inappropriate with women disputed the story in an interview on Monday. . . The woman, Rowanne Brewer Lane, told Fox News that the Times' portrayal of her experiences with Trump was "very upsetting" and dishonest. . . "I did not have a negative experience with Donald Trump and I don't appreciate them making it look like I was saying that it was a negative experience because it was not," the former model and one-time companion of Trump said Monday morning. . .

Careful . . .

. . . with the vitriol and venom . . .

(from http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/zeifman.asp)
". . . (Jerry) Zeifman (Judiciary Committee Chief Counsel in the impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon) said he maintained a transcribed diary during the impeachment proceedings, which he drew up upon two decades later in authoring the 1998 book Without Honor: The Impeachment of President Nixon and the Crimes of Camelot. That book makes it clear that Zeifman did not like (personally and professionally) a good many of the people he worked with during the Watergate investigation; in particular, he continually butted heads over issues of procedures and legal approaches with his boss, Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino, and Hillary's (Clinton, then Rodham) supervisor, Impeachment Inquiry Special Counsel John Doar. Zeifman accused both Rodino and Doar (as well as Hillary Rodham and others), without evidence, of supposedly dragging their feet on impeachment and "tanking" the investigation of President Nixon's wrongdoings, for reasons ranging from bribes offered by the Nixon White House to help with re-election bids, to a desire to enhance the Democrats' chances of winning the 1976 presidential election by keeping a discredited Nixon in office until the end of his term, to a plot to keep Richard Nixon from defending himself by bringing up past instances of presidential abuses of power (which would include dirt on the Kennedys). . ."

The Fourth. . .

. . . Estate

(from wikipedia.com)
". . . The Fourth Estate (or fourth power) is a societal or political force or institution whose influence is not consistently or officially recognized. "Fourth Estate" most commonly refers to the news media, especially print journalism or "the press". Thomas Carlyle attributed the origin of the term to Edmund Burke, who used it in a parliamentary debate in 1787 on the opening up of press reporting of the House of Commons of Great Britain. Earlier writers have applied the term to lawyers, to the British queens consort (acting as a free agent, independent of the king), and to the proletariat. The term makes implicit reference to the earlier division of the three Estates of the Realm. . ."

NBC News should have been ashamed to print this story. The president is pointing out what the press should have made clear to the general public over one year ago!

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/barack-obama/president-obama-donald-trump-s-record-needs-be-examined-n569441)
". . . President Barack Obama . . . said presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a "long record that needs to be examined" and insisted that the race for the White House is "not a reality show. . . I just want to emphasize the degree to which we are in serious times and this is a really serious job. This is not entertainment, this is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States," Obama told reporters in his first public comments about since Trump's GOP rivals ended their presidential campaigns. . . Obama also said the media needs to play a role in vetting the candidates' policies and not focus on the "circus.". . . "If they take a position on international issues that could threaten war, or has the potential of upending our critical relationships with other countries, or would potentially break the financial system, that needs to be reported on," Obama said in the White House briefing room. . ."
