This is so utterly ridiculous I had to post it here for the laughs.


Nice to see my tax money at hard work.

Come to think of it, I should consider a career change. What glorious headaches would I have as an MEP...

The road to a choking bureaucracy is paved with good intentions

But this actually might appear to be as an important topic to some people. Here in Germany there is a very strict definition of what consitutes beer, and it's widely supported by the population that beer mustn't include anything but certain ingredients such as water and grains. Some people might hold a similarly strict point of view regarding vodka.

I can understand why, when so many different drinks bear the name "Martini". If it was the same with vodak, you could call distilled orange juice+hops "vodka" and get away with it.

/for the curious, a "Martini" is gin, an olive, and, if you really must, a little bit of Vermouth
//Vodka "martinis" are called "Cosmopolitans" and are drunk by James Bond
///used up my quota of both slashies and quotation marks on this one post!
