Boomer nostalgia alert.

What's a drunk monkey to do?

Unicorn Auctions and companies like it have cracked the code and brought the secondary into the light.

Suntory stumbles.

I have been writing about the end of the bourbon boom and consequent excess supply issue for the better part of the last two years. News like Saturday's Beam announcement has people suddenly paying attention. Here's some perspective. chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2025/04/how-...

When is bad news actually good news?

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is right in her criticism of Rep. Chuy Garcia. "Americans bled and died to secure the right to elect their leaders. We can’t expect to be taken seriously in the fight for free and fair elections if we turn a blind eye to election denial on our side of the aisle.”

Nothing in any of the books prepared me for this version of the Talamasca, although the Mayfair story tells of some rogue members who made a lot of trouble, and all of the books indicate the organization has almost limitless reach and resources. Now, in episode 3, they've revealed the MacGuffin.

If expansion makes the Big 10 more competitive, maybe instead of Ohio State and Michigan dominating every year it will be Ohio State and someone else.

Gag order.

I never did give nothing to the tin man that he didn't already have.

Well, I finally did it. "Made and Bottled in Kentucky," the full documentary, is now available on YouTube. I should have done this a long time ago. Sorry it took so long. Please excuse the technical quality. It's 33 years old.

Another new distillery is in trouble.

History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

You have to listen to your body, but you don't have to obey it.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Between Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, and Mitch McConnell, Trump does well with Kentucky voters but not great with its congressional delegation, and Kentucky voters seem okay with that too. What can I say? Kentucky is weird.

I understand why companies stop supporting apps but why do they have to take them out and shoot them?
