Good thing. Mine took over the world.

Not the world only America.

Not the world only America.

That's right, it had a Soviet counterpart.

That label has never seen the sky over Russia.
Does that label say 180 proof? how can that be when 70° proof is 40% alcohol by volume? is that just another American exaggeration?

Noting ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_proof

In the United States, alcohol content is measured in terms of the percentage of alcohol by volume. The Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR [4-1-03 Edition] §5.37 Alcohol content) requires that liquor labels must state the percentage of ABV. The regulation permits, but does not require, a statement of the proof provided that it is printed close to the ABV number. For bottled spirits over 100 ml containing no solids, actual alcohol content is allowed to vary within 0.15% of ABV stated on the label. Alcohol proof in the United States is defined as twice the percentage of alcohol by volume. Consequently, 100-proof whiskey contains 50% alcohol by volume; 86-proof whiskey contains 43% alcohol.​

Noting that Trump hasn't lost support, Ben Carson gained support ... largely from Jeb.

Yay! I don't care who gets the Republican nomination as long as they're crazy and entertaining. By the way, you know what's interesting? Neither Trump nor Carson has any political experience. I love the Republican Party.

I've got to admit they are entertaining, it's never a dull moment with them, imagine what would happen to the country if the republicans were allowed to be in charge again, the mind boggles as to the damage they could do.

That's why it is sometimes called "TVDoubletrouble".
