First post. In the '90s, I had what might be called one of the original wine blogs. I later started working (2001) and reviewing (2006) wines for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, covering Portugal, Greece, the USA other than the West Coast, and other areas (until June 30, 2023; last day).

It's amazing how many insane things he says that just get lost in the shuffle.

"being a U.S. citizen is already a [federal] requirement....Texans are asked to attest whether they are U.S. citizens when filling out a voter registration card. Anyone who attests on the form that they are not citizens would not be allowed to register."

Texas’ Prop 16: Amendment on voter citizenship would affirm what’s already in state law

Texans are already asked to attest whether or they are U.S. citizens when filling out a voter registration card. Anyone who says they’re not would not be allowed to register.

They have lied so blatantly and for so long, they've even begun to believe their own lies,especially but not exclusively at the grass roots.

Didja see in Texas they just passed a Const amendment to prevent non-citizens from voting? It seems to restate existing law, but...hey, have to stop illegals!

Shop around--a lot of people are making similar things. See what you like best in shape/size. Price comparison. Lots of choices on Amazon

Personally, I wound up getting some stemless ones. If I'm taking them out to an event like a picnic, they fit easily in a bag, but that's a special use for me.

Yikes, I'm looking at the margin in the NJ gov race. That looked to be a squeaker. She destroyed him.

Next time, you use the nice Riedels, but give these to your friends. Or, tell them to BYOG. Less cleaning up for you too!🍷

And for Philadelphia district Attorney which is an important race, relatively, Dem. Krasner at the moment leading by about 80 to 20. He wasn't likely to lose, but this could have been closer.

PA judicial retention -- Dems
VA Gov--Dems
Nj Gov--Dems
Cincy Mayor--Dems

Dems taking no prisoners.🍾👍
