Agreeing with Dave Berry
For scheduling reasons, Dave had to give his election analysis before the election actually happened. (That’s his story, and I’m sticking to it.) Hence this semi-brilliant article.
Notable quote:
What I’m saying is: we, as a nation, need to drink more martinis.

I resolve to do my part.
As a public service, I will reveal the recipe for The Jazzbumpa Martini
3 oz Gordon’s London Dry Gin
1 oz New Amsterdam Gin
1 oz Martini and Rossi dry vermouth
2 ginormous pimiento stuffed olives
Some sort of a skewer
Ice
Put the ice in a shaker. Pour in the gins. Get your martini glass, skewer the olives and put them in the glass. Add the vermouth to the shaker. Stall a little. Put the lid on the shaker. Swirl it around. Pour the mixture into the glass and onto the olives. Sip. Close your eyes and imagine you are in a pine forest. Ooohh - that is nice.
