This is indicative of our society's current desire to pursue minor
infractions of "the law" while letting large scale injustices go
unaddressed.  Sort of like spending $40 million to get the president to
admit he had sex with ML; it serves no point and people are dying, starving,
struggling, etc. with the REAL world!!  Don't forget how the distributors in
"non-import" states are lining their coffers, while we can't even order wine
from the guy who makes it!!!

Agreed, but impeach the prez for his political views:  support of big
government and the corruption that goes along with it.  Let's get
someone in there to roll back the state and the outmoded liquor laws. 
Mondavi should get nailed for greasing the wrong pig.  Bravo!

Liberal political views and policies, no matter how distasteful or 
ill-advised, are not grounds for impeachment under the Constitution, and 
neither is adultery. Committing perjury by lying under oath *about* that 
adultery *is* an impeachable offense, however. As is accepting bribes from 
corporate donors under the guise of campaign contributions. As is accepting
illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals and from foreign
governments. Not to mention the sale of sensitive missile guidance
technology to a hostile government which enables them to improve the
accuracy of nuclear weapons targeted at American cities. But Clinton's
support of big government is not an impeachable offense.

Just wanted to set the record straight.

Read the Constitution.  Big government and the laws and actions
necessary to support it violate numerous sections of the Constitution. 
Clinton, as a big government supporter, has violated the Constitution. 
Ergo, impeach the bastard!

Are any TN available on these issues, if not try another ng.

Da Bep
PS What wine did they pour when Bill & Monica allegedly did the nasty?  I
would recommend Chateau Gournicht an emphemeral wine but with a lingering
after-taste.

Dear Bep:

Here-Here...This is a winemaking newsgroup not a "Whinemaking newsgroup"!
-Ed

nah, just make bill drink hungarian wine.

and to do the gnasty, i strongly suggest plum wine.

for various culinary applications...kills the aftertaste, but not the afterglow!!!

to be put in the mood--Zinfandel. a rich oregon, washington state or northern californian one.

or Sangiovese, or Pinot Noir....to lower the cholesterol stirred up by all the stress of clandestine connubial
commingling.

and the excercise garnered by sucking out the cork...quite a prelude.

wine bottles can be extremely evocative...this is where beer cannot compete.
