French Grapes, Meet Mr. Shovel
[The Cummins Family Home Page - A Place for Family, Friends and wanderers of the Internet] Roland Feredj, from the CIVB wine council in Bordeaux, denied that there was a quality problem, insisting that French wines were hamstrung by an "absurd" labeling system imposed by the government that few could understand outside France, and by the current exchange rate.

[Cigarjack.net] Cigar Jack's Cigar Blog: Current Affairs: The main thing that many secularists have a hard time grasping is our belief in Absolute Truth.

The result is that Economics farms out reflections on its own foundations to a small cadre of methodologists and philosophers, who talk amongst themselves, and to occasional “We Can’t Go On Like This” speeches by Presidents of the
[Mercury.mirrorshades.org] mercury : blog : October 2004: The Motherfucking Phone is being ignored as well, though that's been par for the course forever- the marked tendency of anything with a pulse to use either its mouthbits, assbits, or some piece of technology to irritate the everloving shit out of me at the EXACT moment I slip into a state of Concentration is why I'll unplug the phone instead of answering it. This tendency to induce maximum annoyance at the worst time is also one of the main reasons I've been single for well over a year, and haven't even bothered to look around- bitching about sex and companionship over the course of the last year has been more raging about the fact it's a genetic requirement than about the lack thereof, which doesn't bother my cognition in the least.
