I meant to say: I have not enjoyed the only margarita I've had . . . I always wind up breaking the most important rule: don't drink margaritas farther than thirty miles from the border. What I had yesterday--I am almost certain--was made with Squirt. Flat Squirt. And maybe, no most certainly, nothing else.
Are we really to believe a super-power like Israel with its armaments and allies fears annihilation at the hand of jihadists? Israel as the "victim"?Israel with it's billions in aid?
Even is "Sue" is right, I reiterate: 1) the Squirt was flat; 2) there was almost certainly no tequila in there.
Where the hell did you find that?
Troutsky: I know what you mean. That whole piece has a really defensive aura about it (the questions are particularly aggravating, and, in retrospect, they strike me as having said things like: "Should all Israeli children be killed? You think so, do you?"
But I also think BHL bases too much of his position on the idea that Israel is unfairly represented in The West. That may or may not be true, but he builds the ethos of his piece on the assumption that it is, without ever really examining that idea (or even explicitly stating it).
I heard here in Honduras too that the typical margarita is tequila and Squirt. The original, though, supposedly named after an American expat in Ensenada, was half lime juice and half tequila.
It's so long I resent just having skimmed it. Oy. What's to discuss? Since when does the side with the best novelist win, whether in war or argument? I've read enough of such things. I don't want to sympathize with either side any more than I do. It's too depressing.

Just regular Negras Modelos. I'm all over the s, today.
