16:27

So, every once in awhile, Ed likes to bring Scott strange whiskeys he's never heard of before, like how a cat brings a dead baby bird to its owner. When that happens, we like to do one of our patented QuickTastes, and this whiskey is no exception. But what the heck do the words "Coalition," "Sauternes," and "Barrique" even mean? Does their combinat…

It's election time in the UK and USA, that magical season when people of conscience and intelligence are told to hold their noses, ignore the stink of corruption and compromise, and vote for one of two parties that are both pro-capitalist, tough on those fleeing danger, and, this year, apparently okay with genocide.

Christian deconstruction: depending on your theology, it's either a dangerous movement of postmodernism in the Church, seducing young people away from orthodoxy, or a new Reformation of Christistianity, replacing certainty, dogma and control with honesty, love and a messy approach to faith.
