Palin Syrah — The Most Unpopular Wine in California

palinsyrahwine.jpgIt’s not just a bunch of Democrats who aren’t so thrilled about McCain’s VP candidate. The proprietors of a wine bar in San Francisco, California are pissed that their once best selling wine “Palin Syrah” has taken a popularity hit.

“It was our best selling wine before (the V.P. announcement),” the owner sighed when asked about the beverage debacle.

Could it be that people aren’t ordering Palin Syrah on principal? “People started making suggestions [about what the wine tastes like] like gunpowder, moose meat, hockey mom – the list goes on and on.” The bar owner is quoted as saying. “It’s funny, but it’s all we’ve heard for the last couple weeks.”

Who knows, maybe Obama or Biden or McCain himself will get a liquor sort of named after them — just to make things even. It could be funny, especially if they make some kind of crazy mixed liquor concoction and call it “ObamaRama.” Imagine ordering that a bar?

    have you guys ever been to dc? come election season, the whole town goes nuts and quite a few bars have drinks named after the politicos. granted, they’re names the bars give the drinks because of the politicos rather than on accident, but whatev.

The Morning After: The Pooper

When I was a sophomore I lived in a quad in my sorority house. That meant 4 girls, 45 pairs of jeans and over 100 pairs of shoes stuffed into a very tiny space. With bunk beds. The close quarters were an issue when any sort of studying had to get done or heavy drinking was going down (“Dude, there is not enough room in here for you to do the worm…”), but we made it work most of the time.
