Making Bourbon Whiskey

The secret of the taste of Bourbon is its grain, yeast, fresh white oak barrels & storage. These have the largest influence on the Bourbon taste.

Most Bourbon distilleries have equipment that is alike and as most Bourbon comes from Kentucky there is very minimal if any differences in climate. The difference taste of one Bourbon to the next Bourbon is the unique blends & quality of ingredients each different Bourbon brand uses.

There are many different processes in the making of Bourbon in the following article we will have a brief look at each of the main process in making Bourbon Whiskey.

Something for you Bourbon lovers.  I’m not personally fond of Bourbon, being a Scotch/Irish whiskey man myself.

Mugabe hosts lavish party despite national crisis

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is celebrating his 85th birthday with a lavish all-day party today despite his country being gripped by an economic and health crisis. Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party said it raised at least $250,000 to hold the party. Critics say the money would be better spent on its citizens, who are suffering from a cholera outbreak, food shortages, and spiraling hyperinflation.

Does this sort of outrageous behavior look/sound familiar?  It should because this is what ‘Dear Leader’ and his gibbering minions have been doing since they took the reins of power in the US.  The Left always follows the example of Nero as Rome burned and the French Royal family as the French Revolution began.

Official: Arab Countries Have Not Delivered Pledged $1B to Rebuild Gaza

Sales of “Atlas Shrugged” Soar in the Face of Economic Crisis

Washington, D.C., February 23, 2009–Sales of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” have almost tripled over the first seven weeks of this year compared with sales for the same period in 2008. This continues a strong trend after bookstore sales reached an all-time annual high in 2008 of about 200,000 copies sold.

“Americans are flocking to buy and read ‘Atlas Shrugged’ because there are uncanny similarities between the plot-line of the book and the events of our day” said Yaron Brook, Executive Director at the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights. “Americans are rightfully concerned about the economic crisis and government’s increasing intervention and attempts to control the economy. Ayn Rand understood and identified the deeper causes of the crisis we’re facing, and she offered, in ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ a principled and practical solution consistent with American values.”

SNIP

I’m not much into conspiracy theories, but I buy into this one.  What is happening in the US isn’t a product of recent events.  It’s a product of an on going conspiracy by the left that dates back to 1918-1919.  Those were the days of the ‘Red Scares’ and a government crackdown on the far Left.  Since that time the Left has slowly but surely advanced their political agenda.  The election of FDR in 1932 was a huge boost, as was his remaining in power for four terms.

Then came JFK, LBJ, Carter, and the Clinton’s.  Interspersed among these Left wingers their was Ronald Reagan a Conservative and several RINO’S.

Now with Obama as POTUS we’ve hit the apex of Left wingers.  So now we’re faced with having the Left in charge for the foreseeable future or beginning to right the wrongs of decades of sloth and rot.  It doesn’t look good, but we can fix this if we want to.  It remains to be seen if we want to fix it.

The Painful Last Minutes of the NYU Kimmel Occupation.  Or as I like to call it:  “An Ass Kicking That Was Richly Deserved”

If you can’t make heads nor tails of the video its like this.  Some students being under the impression that they were in charge of the college demanded the following.   A student group holed up in the campus cafeteria [at New York University] last week for three days with a list of demands including, among various other items, scholarships for Palestinian students, greater budgetary transparency, and complete amnesty for themselves, of course. On day three, NYU got bored with taking them semi-seriously and moved to end it.

There has to be something I despise more than Commie college students, but for the life of me I can’t think what it is.

The Fuse Is Lit!

I wrote a op/ed piece a little while back I entitled, ‘Elect in haste, repent at leisure’.  And that’s what a majority of the American electorate did.  I sure the thinking was, “We’re getting rid of Bush II and no one can be worse than he was.”  Surprise, surprise there was/is something worse and its occupying the White House right now.

The Stunted Economic Stimulus

The ‘so called economic stimulus’ was never about stimulating the US economy.  It’s about pork for special interests and buying votes for the next election.  Otherwise why do you think it was voted on without being read?

The Uncertain Trumpet

Selected quote:  On Tuesday night, President Obama talked about a national culture of irresponsibility. He talked about the way Americans have sacrificed the long term for the short term, spent more than they could afford, and how the country’s leaders have broken promises and delayed reform. Obama described a rot that was ingrained and pervasive. 

‘Dear Leader’ must have gotten mixed up again and was in fact talking about his own mismanagement of everything he’s so far touched.  What can be more irresponsible than saddling future generations with a ‘trillion dollar porkus bill’ that will nothing in the short term, but saddle the nation with more debt in the long term.  And yes the rot is ingrained, but the fish rots from the head down and if you figure that the POTUS and Congress are the head the stench is appalling.  We’ve lost control of our government and only a sea change in American voter habits is going to right this.  The nation doesn’t owe us, we owe the nation.

Fifteen Reasons I’m Already Tired of the Obama Era

I was tired of ‘Comrade Obama’s bullshit’ in July of last year.  However the part that I really am tired of is all the ass kissing by the media and other usual suspects for all things Obama.  He still hasn’t done anything, isn’t likely to do anything, but you’d never know it if you read MSNBC or other blatant ass kissers/boot lickers.

Basti Note:  The ‘Tidbits’ are a a bit abbreviated today.  I’m been trolling the net and I’m tried of seeing ‘Obama’ every 3rd word.  Tired of seeing someone lionized who’s never done a damn thing to deserve it.  Tired of seeing the same old ‘talking heads’ spouting the same old ‘regurgitated hyperbole’ that we’ve been seeing for decades and I guess just plain tired.  I promise to do better tomorrow.

Japan’s Society of Energy and Resources disses the IPCC – says “recent climate change is driven by natural cycles, not human industrial activity”

Japan’s boffins: Global warming isn’t man-made

Climate science is ‘ancient astrology’, claims report

Exclusive Japanese scientists have made a dramatic break with the UN and Western-backed hypothesis of climate change in a new report from its Energy Commission.

Three of the five researchers disagree with the UN’s IPCC view that recent warming is primarily the consequence of man-made industrial emissions of greenhouse gases. Remarkably, the subtle and nuanced language typical in such reports has been set aside.

One of the five contributors compares computer climate modelling to ancient astrology. Others castigate the paucity of the US ground temperature data set used to support the hypothesis, and declare that the unambiguous warming trend from the mid-part of the 20th Century has ceased.

The report by Japan Society of Energy and Resources (JSER) is astonishing rebuke to international pressure, and a vote of confidence in Japan’s native marine and astronomical research. Publicly-funded science in the West uniformly backs the hypothesis that industrial influence is primarily responsible for climate change, although fissures have appeared recently. Only one of the five top Japanese scientists commissioned here concurs with the man-made global warming hypothesis.

And all the while ‘human caused global warming/climate change’ is being debunked the gibbering idiots who’ve have bought into this for monetary reasons keep up the same propaganda and its being bought by the simple-minded all over the world.

It truly is mind-boggling that in the first part of the 21st century people are being deceived by the equivalent of ‘witchcraft’ as people were deceived about ‘witchcraft’ during the Middle Ages.

‘Ecomigration’ And A Whole New Class Of Moon-bats

Adam Fier recently sold his home, got rid of his car and pulled his twin 6-year-old girls out of elementary school in Montgomery County. He and his wife packed the family’s belongings and moved to New Zealand — a place they had never visited or seen before, and where they have no family or professional connections. Among the top reasons: global warming.

SNIP

Just when you think……. No we’re not even going there.  You have the ‘human haters’ who say we have to get right of between 3 & 4 billion humans or the world will die.  Then you have those who worry that we must ‘save everyone’ no matter if they’re living on a mudflat 3″ above high tide or not.  And now we have people trotting around the globe looking for that mythical ‘safe place’ so as to escape something that might or might not happen.

All I can say in the case of Adam Fier is I’m glad he’s gone.  One less family of moon-bats in the US isn’t much, but its a start.  And the hilarious part is, Adam Fier thinks he’s being rational!
