A buttermilk marinade ensures tender meat and juicy flavor. The kabobs are delicious on their own, but even better with Toasted Pecan Pesto or Romesco Sauce.
Southern Living JUNE 2013
1. Whisk together first 3 ingredients in a large bowl until smooth; whisk in buttermilk, next 3 ingredients, and 2 tsp. salt until blended.
2. Place buttermilk mixture and chicken in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; seal and chill 3 hours.
3. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water 30 minutes. (Omit if using metal skewers.)
4. Coat cold cooking grate of grill with cooking spray, and place on grill. Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a 1/8-inch space between pieces; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt.
5. Grill kabobs, covered with grill lid, 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Serve with lemon halves and Toasted Pecan Pesto or Romesco Sauce.

Rigotti Gold Baritone Saxophone ReedsRigotti Gold Baritone Sax Reeds represent the finest in precision and playability. Hand picked and precisely cut, these reeds are consistent, focused and durable. Box of 10.The Best CaneEts Rigotti owes part of their reputation to their materials. The canes of the Var, and Cogolin regions of France are among the best in the world. Grown alongside rivers and streams, in an large area that is maintained all year round.CuttingRigotti Gold reeds are cut during a winter afternoon over four months from December to March. When the cane has reached maturity (after two years when it measures seven to eight meters with a diameter of 26cm to 32cm), it is cut left in the open where it will be worked on. The work on the reeds is split into stages: we use a 'plumes' to dispose of all the excess and 'feathers', we only keep the 2 or 3 meters from the base (the rest is either burned or used as bamboo). Then the tubes are cut (from the base to the top), and the knots are thrown to obtain batons suited to music. This is where the true work starts, each tube is calibrated to a particular instrument. The double reeds are for the oboe and bassoon, which must be wet to be bent and attached.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
Rigotti baritone reeds in the correct strength for you and your mouthpiece setup are simply sensational. I have been playing baritone for a very long time but have simply failed to find any reeds that I can honestly say are any good. I have tried all the major brands, the Rico jazz select work although they are rather buzzy and lack depth of tone - especially in the upper and lower registers; Vandoren ZZ are entirely useless on all of my mouthpieces - way to short by at least a half inch; Alexander Superial are to unreliable in the accuracy of the cut although you can get a good 1 in a tin if you're lucky - to be fare I haven't bought them in recent years but when I did back about 7 years ago I bought at least 30 boxes. So have a fair indication of their quality control back then and can only hope they have lifted their game since that time. Rigotti reeds - like green eggs and ham - try them and you may (like them) I say.

On January 20, 2009, if John McCain takes the oath of office as the next President and Barack Obama returns to the Senate to figure out what happened to his once promising campaign, he should remember Friday, August 22, 2008 as the day he made a mistake that cost him the Presidency.
That was the day Obama named Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. as his running mate.
So much for the dream, so much for the promises of change, so much for casting aside the old way of doing things. If you want to deliver on those promises, you don't pick a two-time loser as a Presidential candidate, a long-winded speaker who puts people to sleep or a known plagiarist who also lied outright when he said he would never accept an offer of the vice presidency.
Obama might, possibly, have come up with a worse choice than Joe Biden but that would be a short list.
Bringing Biden into the fold is a sellout of the highest order, a capitulation to the old-style liberalism that has sunk the Democratic Party time and again.
Picking Biden suggests Obama is not an agent of change but simply a purveyor of false hopes and impossible dreams.
Like many, I wanted to believe in the guy. He talked good but his actions since wrapping up the nomination have betrayed the trust of those who supported him and offered nothing but the same political pabulum to a nation that needed a candidate who would deliver on his promises.
Joe Biden? This is change?
Forget the future. Forget any hope of salvation for a nation in need. Get ready for the Presidency of John McCain.
The mafia has a saying for what we are facing: new boss, same as the old boss.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: I revised this column on August 27 after deciding some of the original column was just too far over the top. I still think Biden was a bad choice but was wrong to consider it a fatal one. My bad.)
104 Responses to "Is Biden a change Vice President?"
Agree with the state of status-quo-politics comments, but not necessarily the concluding question.
One problem is Hillary and the other is the election of Obama.
For Obama to succeed he has to do what only a very bright person can do – find ways to keep a lot of people happy and contented that he's doing the job well. Bush has not come close to doing the job, and McCain's eccentricities offer every indication that he is too far off the beam to go about unsupervised near things that could go boom.
Obama has no choice. He has to prove himself at a higher standard than any of those who came before him – or forget the idea of any other American minority ever occupying the big job. Including Hillary.
That's a hopeful prospect.
Is this good for Hillary?
If Obama wins and does a great enough job the first 4 years, no. It means Hillary is geriatric before she gets the next shot at the White House in 8 years. At which point former Obama voters ask, "Hillary who?"
This thought must have occurred to at least one Hillary adviser and this contingency puts further pressure on Obama to deliver in a big way. Because in no way is his back covered from other contenders in his own camp.. The kind of pressure which Hillary has already demonstrated can only be imposed on her by The Big States. The 'important' ones. Obama must build an expanding coalition. Period.
I think there really is one shot at the change you want. And only one way to get it with a vote.
I appreciate the thoughtful reply. Let me first state that I am neither a McCain troll, as suggested in other comments, nor am I a Clinton supporter. In fact, you won't find many carpetbagging Clinton fans here in upstate NY.
There still happens to be some free-thinking Independent Americans that don't buy into the false left vs right control system. I happen to be one of them.
Some comments by Obama supporters just serve to strengthen my argument. I am automatically labeled a neocon apologist or McCain supporter for no other reason than that I oppose Obama. I can't possibly have any other reason.
I care not about race or gender in a President. I care about what the candidate intends to do about righting the ship. I see nothing from Obama but empty rhetoric and vague promises, an any-port-in-a-storm mentality brought about by the galactic failures of the "opposing" party.
Failures, of course, that weren't failures at all, but wild successes for the military-industrial complex.
The same dance set to a different tune. I just see no solutions in his policy positions, nor have I met any of his supporters that can accurately define them. I see nothing but a blind faith campaign based on a wait-and-see approach. I've been waiting and seeing for forty years, and nothing ever changes.
As for voting, I'll vote the way I always do – third party.

Pollchecker has not slipped through the cracks. I only post 1 blog a day per our publisher's request and I do my best to time that post so it bumps an old blog that I wrote off the front page and not someone else's.
I have complied with every request our published has asked of me. I have even listened to the suggestions of other bloggers and limited my links to pertinent and current posts per their requests.
AS far as I can tell, I have broken no rules as they have repeatedly laid out. My only frailty is that occasionally I let some HATER get to me which only proves that I am human.
However, I would like to point out that no one is forcing you to read anything I write. My handle is clearly on any entry so it might behoove you to gloss right over it since you find it so ad nauseum.
At least I am doing something by keeping the truth in lieu of the vicious and fictional Republican attacks where people can clearly read them and decide for themselves.
A country that is run on fear is NOT a free country at least NOT IMHO!
Mr. Thompson, sorry it took so long to reply. I have been traveling this weekend.
I can, do and will admit when I am wrong, you just have not proven it to me yet.
But I must admit, I do remember some Hillary for POTUS ads on this site. I do not recall Obama ads although that does not mean they were not present. Perhaps it has to do with the placement of the ads. BTW, who is in charge of that?
I was addressing the current situation though. I did not mean to imply that you would not accept ads from Obama. You are a business man, that would not be prudent.
I just made an observation….sarcastic as it may have been. But I will concede the point you are definitely an equal opportunity hater. I look forward to your equally voracious attack on McCain's choice for VP next Saturday.
So I took the night to review your rants since you came back and declared a NEW season in July before I wrote this reply.
You have called Obama balless and unfit to be POTUS. Unfit even though he voted identically to McCain on the FISA bill. I went back and reviewed and did not see any reference to that in that in that particular rant.
Yes, you have called McCain a racist, bigot and a pimp however, in my opinion, those words were well deserved. Never in the history of our country has a candidate offered up his wife as a sacrificial lamb in order to get votes. Perhaps McCain is so old that he comes from a time when people sacrificed virgins to the gods in order to win favor with the Gods.
And you attack Biden's past but I have not seen any Rants LATELY about McCain's association with the Keating 5. (althought I will admit I did not search the site for any OLD articles)
Senator Obama has said all along that he was going to pick a diversity of people to be part of this administration. His Biden pick means that he has lived up to his word by picking a man who has supported IRAQ ALL THE WAY THROUGH! It will be interesting to see who he selects for the rest of his administration when he wins.
And his Biden pick shows that he is willing to listen to the concerns of the people by picking a white man who isn't afraid to stand up to terrorists so he can keep the sheeple safe ….. ….unlike Bush who listens to no one but Cheney and has declared himself to be the Decider or McCain who mirrors Bush like a shadow.
Lastly if being a member of the staff (a volunteer at that) means that we can't disagree then I might as well join GW's staff because after all, that's what we have had for the past 7 1/2 years….an administration of YES men.
I have broken no rules here as you have repeatedly defined them, except to question this so-called non-partisan stuff. Personally I do not believe there is such a thing and I also do not believe that our forefathers would agree with you on that. But I will concede the point that your rants are balanced in that you obviously deplore the system and EVERYONE who is involved with it.
I had wondered how, given your piece not too long ago that some were posting ad nauseum and monopolizing space and time, pollchecker was slipping thru the cracks.
Crystal clarity now…
Lastly if being a member of the staff (a volunteer at that) means that we can't disagree then I might as well join GW's staff because after all, that's what we have had for the past 7 1/2 years….an administration of YES men.
Obviously, you paid no attention to what I wrote. I said you were welcome to disagree with me on issues but that you will not post misinformation on this site. You clearly suggested that the appearance of a McCain ad on this site was a sign of partisanship. That is crap.
In addition, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a businessman. Capitol Hill Blue is not a business. Never has been, never will be. It is a labor of love by those who volunteer considerable amounts of time to make it happen. The ads on this site pay for about 40 percent of the cost. I make up the rest out of my own pocket. Any accountant will tell you that this is not good business.
Furthermore, I hate no one. I have no personal animosity against John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden or any other elected official. I dislike what most of them are doing to the country I love. I am disappointed in Obama. I expected more. Long time members of the CHB team know this. Sadly, you never took the time to learn.
You owe the many people who work to make this web site what it is an apology.
I read what you wrote. I have read every single word you write. I just don't buy into every word you write just like you obviously don't buy into every words the pundits write.
I mean no disrespect to those that work hard on this site so if an apology is in order, then consider it made.
But perhaps you should go back and reread some of your words because to some one who might stumble across this site for the first time, they come across sometimes pretty hateful.
Obviously, we disagree. Obviously, we are not going to agree. Obviously, you are not happy with the way I do things about here. Obviously, I am not going to change.
This site does not exist to support any political party or candidate. Never has, never will.
I suggest we leave it at that and move on. I'll find a moderator who can check his or her political beliefs at the door. Thanks for your help.
Where are the Obama ads on Capitol Hill Blue? I haven't looked at every link on this website, but I've yet to see one. Are Obama's handlers not buying ads for your site? I'd like to know. Meanwhile, I see McCain ads constantly on your site. So if Obama is buying ads here, my perception is that they aren't as visible as McCain's.
So, Doug, what's up?
It's common for a candidate to buy saturation ads during the opposing party's convention. We will see Obama ads during the GOP convention.
I am truly amazed that, despite ample evidence to the contrary, so many feel and/or imply that you and this site are somehow extensions of the "Rovinator" and that you have to expend so much energy explaining otherwise.
Most sincerely,
T. J. Flapsaddle
Warren, you are gifted,
"Inspiring that energetic conversation" is such a nice way of saying pushing opinion in ways that suit your agenda.
It's also little short of professing clairvoyance and omniscience, isn't it?
Not that Doug would ever stoop to being a less than impartial "moderator"
What could be more prudent than to start with "he made his final, fatal mistake and proved the skeptics right – he was not ready to be President of the United States."?
A Doug groupie?
…Me. HaHa. Anyone that doesn't have a D or an R beside their name is a good start.
Of course, being the realist that I am, I know that one of these two buffoons will win.
From a purely objective view – and don't take this in any way as a vote for McCain, but just political pondering – but I think that, given the very real possibility of a super majority going to the Democrats in the Congress, that a McCain presidency would, at the very least, maintain some semblance of balance in Washington.
You may argue that the Democrats will use that power to right all the wrongs of the Bush administation, but history and cold logic tells me that won't happen. The Clinton years began the same way that the Bush years did – with the same party controlling the Congress and the President – but the Congress went Republican in the next mid-terms. The country wanted balance.
After a few years of Republican control of both the Congress and the Presidency, the country elected a Democrat Congress to balance the equation. Only the Democrats failed to heed that message, and lifted not one manicured finger to that effect.
From my independent viewpoint, I think the Democrats need to prove themselves worthy of higher aspirations before we hand them even more power than Bush enjoyed during his first few years. A strong Congress can neutralize a rogue President, and since the voice of the people resides in the Congress, that is where the most change can occur.
The Congress has the power, should they be inclined to use it, to legally undo the sins of the past. I get the distinct feeling that they don't want to, and have proven it these last few years. They merely want to inflict upon us their own brand of a moral majority, and are happy to allow the suffering to continue to see that end.
You can argue these points, and rightfully so. Neither party truly wants to drastically change anything, the mere illusion of change will suffice. Tinkering on the periphery while ignoring and stifling real debate on the underlying and institutional causes of our problems is the real problem we have, and both parties are content to keep the debate superficial and meaningless.
Democrats seem content to focus on emotional social issues that are beyond the scope of the government's control. Real equality comes from prosperity, and prosperity comes from sound economics and a strong currency. Neither party seems willing to address these basic underlying issues, such as the Federal Reserve's manipulation of our currency and the markets.
Most all the sites I've been looking at are blanketed with PUMAS and snide McCainonites. For every comment I've read from someone for Obama there are four screamers for Clinton or some manic agent-provocateurs for McCain. They're out in droves-like all the vampires have flown out of their caves. It's like Halloween out there. Someone fired a starter pistol and they were off and running.
Anyone who is going to be pushing McCain is going to start doing it now because Clinton was rightfully dropped on her head in such a grand gesture by Obama-who did a great job choosing Biden, despite the GOP's assault on him visa vie Clinton.
I'm non-party and glad of it but I like Obama. No, he is not perfect-no one ever was or could be in politics. But I like him. He thinks. He functions. He can spell and he can put his thoughts into words. And some of his thoughts are not bad. I never agreed one hundred per cent with any politician. I think he could restore this country to some semblance of dignity and reason. Rather than look for any provocation to start a war-any war…anywhere. For eternity.
I have always liked Joe too. Had occasion to contact him on some legislative issues. One thing he was always gracious and down to earth. And he knew his stuff.
Joe may not be perfect either. I know everyone is upset about the Zionist thing but, hey folks, they all are. One way or the other. And those that aren't with Israel don't come to the table but there is always hope that incrementally-these guys could work for the greater good of this country.
It seems, too, a lot of blogs out there and "non-partisan" sites have swung more right just these last days. I can just hear the collective and panicked breath of the big players in the background when their little spin with Clinton and her mythical eighteen million "doubtful" votes sank like a stone.
I'm not sure that Biden and Obama are the team that those heavy-hitters want. Must be a reason.
Next flank will be McCain trying to attack Biden and Obama with everything he's got-petty, nonsensical foolishness like that silly Rovian thing the Clintons tried with Wright. McCain must be reaching deep in his bag of garbage for whatever desperate stuff he can float. I'm pretty sure that will sink too. He's got to get the spotlight off himself, his gorilla rape joke, Sturgis, his bumbling and his multi-real estate quagmire.
Meanwhile-I found it interesting that McCain was tooling around in a golf cart with the sinister George H. W. Bush, Sr. and that old Billster played golf with him. Maybe they all met on the green to hit a few…FORE!!!!

Good job, Doug.
I hope most of your readership realizes that it's not possible to inspire energetic conversation by taking the centrist position. One must take a position that's slightly over the top and let people respond. Your self-appointed job seems to be inspiring that energetic conversation. I'd say on this one you were quite successful.
Totally disagree with you, Doug. I feel Biden is an excellent choice. Honest, blunt, with superior foreign policy experience to placate the Hawks..
He will help Obama learn the ropes for the next 8 years, while we slowly try and get ourselves out of this 8 year nightmare…..
Now, put Hillary in @ Sec of State so she & Bill can be OUT of the country most of the time….and away from the Oval Office as much as possible… She will prosper in the position, and it will be a better place to run from, come 2012…
Im a college educated, 54 year old white guy, and Im voting for Obama-Biden come November…

Most all the sites I've been looking at are blanketed with PUMAS and snide McCainonites. For every comment I've read from someone for Obama there are four screamers for Clinton or some manic agent-provocateurs for McCain. They're out in droves-like all the vampires have flown out of their caves. It's like Halloween out there. Someone fired a starter pistol and they were off and running.
Consider the cash flows involved. It's easy to project a trillion dollar difference to certain industries/sectors if Obama beats McCain.
We already know that the McCain clients fight dirty.
Is it so far fetched to suspect that many/most of the "vampires" referred to above are just paid trolls? At five bucks a post, it wouldn't take much to rack up a 500 dollar days work.
The web is a wonderful place with great potential; but we're at a point where anything that's said anonymously needs to be "taken" with a ton of salt.
Hell, wait til we get some decent AI! People will be programming the things to become trollbots (!).
Anonymity is rooted in fear at best and malevolence at worst. (Of course behind malevolence there is fear…but that's a deeper point.)
Bottom line; the entities behind McCain are absolutely depraved; Obama is a saintly virgin compared to his opposition.
Outrageous! Five bucks a slur!
The Beijing government pays their stooges only fifty cents each! No kidding!
The Fifty Cent Party, or wumaodang is a group of highly trained people, a cadre, working the internet for their government. Such employment earns them pocket money and perhaps future considerations in The Party: The Chinese Communist Party. (They're so different from us, aren't they?)
Their job is to cruise the web looking for Anti-Beijing-Thought either in Chinese or English and strike back with the CCP's talking points. Or threats.
Anyone who trots out the party line, they love-bomb with congratulatory posts. "Brilliant!" "Loved it!" "Wow!" "You boogie down!"
And so forth.
How they came up with the idea? Does FOX News broadcast in Beijing?
I think every neo-con, send-all-our-jobs-offshore-pronto, 'Profit Is God', upper class twit should demand that this vital service to Senator McCain should be transfered to Beijing, forthwith! They already have a motivated team ready and waiting to pounce!
…OK, there may be some translation glitches and some screwy looking responses, but think of the savings in cost!
But look at this 'positive spin cycle wise.'
With enough posts saying , 'You go to hell, running dog, leftist deviationist, Obama-lovers!' it will really mess up the forums but good.
FIVE DOLLARS a slur!
It's a scandal!
The Fairness Issue.
We need to address a controversy over who is and who isn't quite up to honesty in their posts. It can be done democratically via software. I recommend doing it promptly.
At issue are certain posts which profess to support Obama – you know true Obama lovers – who 'finally realize' that he's just this loser, now they detest the guy, and they're just SO DISAPPOINTED! Let's all bewail it together!
There should be a BS metre along side the post. With each person who reads the post and thinks 'what a load of lying PUMA crap!', the BS Meter gets incremented by 1 click only.
Since PUMAs will target this meter as well there should be a second BS\PUMA counter, which can be incremented when too obviously PUMAs have rated a good post with negative clicks.
To start each post we need to see statements of intent. So there's three options.
Support Obama
Support McCain
Space Case [undecideds or over-medicateds]
This too will help. We all know there's a tendency not to read every comment posted and only look for positive support of personal views. For McCain supporters the pickings might be slim but the prospect of reading through all that other horrifying support for "God no, A Democrat!" would lower their cardio rate. They could go out shopping for ocean liners rather than phone the emergency ward.
Space cases could look for others equally lost, and Obama people could be spared the insult of reading troll-swill.
I call it Win-Win-Win.
Pls advise.
Right. So we support one or the other, or we are some kind of over-medicated space cadet. It must be nice to be so righteous and perfect.
Further proof that the two-party system breeds nothing but mindless obedience and blissful ignorance.
For the last hundred years our country has gotten progressively worse due to the uncontested control of these two parties, and the people that have no faith in either are the contemptable fools?
The real intellectuals and thinkers – problem-solvers – are the ones that think outside the tight confines of this stricly controlled duopoly and cast aside the false partisan bickering that passes for political debate these days.
My husband stated it perfectly last night. He was born in Germany and became a naturalized Australian before becoming a US citizen.
He stated: "In Germany we get at least TEN choices or more for the leader of the country. In Australia, there are at least five choices. But here in the USA, we only get to choose between S#%^head or DumbAss. What kind of country is this?!?
Given the reality of the obnoxious and imperfect two party system under which you live:
…and your solution to the question of who is to be the next President of The United States is…..?
Good points.
And a simple "what-if?"
You enter a casino and there are only two open tables.
At one table the dealer is an old hack, but first rate at palming cards, dealing off the bottom, and masterful at setting up friends with winning hands. He's been at it for decades.
At the other table is a newbie. You watch him. Nothing gets palmed, nothing off the bottom, nobody wins too obviously. For no apparent reason – he's smart enough for now to be honest with his cards, not slick and bent by the game. He may be resisting the system.
Where are you going to join the game?
I think Obama is the ONLY candidate vulnerable enough to be pressured to play a straight game. The house won't lose, not all the players will walk away happy, but the players get better than a scam.
The "experience" arguement doesn't hold water after 8 years of the most incompetent Administration since Harding.
If the people haven't upchucked after 8 years of the roller coaster ride they've been on, they have to be insensitive to motion sickness by now.
Anyone, anything is a step up from where we are now.
How much experience did it take to allow the nation to be vunerable to a terrorist attack when anyone in the security community knew it was coming months in advance?
How much experience did it take to allow the financial and housing bubbles to expand beyond all reason when anyone in the economic community knew it would eventually explode?
How much experience did it take to let the infrastructure of the nation crumble and fail when anyone crossing most bridges gets white knuckles and prays to God they're not going to go for a quick flight into the drink?
Experience? Yes we've had experiences already and we don't need any more.
No, not a Doug Groupie by any stretch of the imagination. Merely a student of technique. Doug gets a discussion started by taking a radical position. He could have started an equally impressive discussion by praising Obama's choice of Biden for VP. No difference. Same discussion. He was successful in that this one was very lively.
Very well written! You read my mind. I'm in the "anybody but Hillary" camp but truthfully it never occurred to me that he actively would entertain Biden as his choice.
The disappointment is close to crushing. Not sure if it's even worth voting this time around. Hate to pull the lever for McCain but I cannot/will not vote for a ticket that's more suited to a Saturday Night Live skit.
with all the crap as this is a presidential campaign and we all cannot be happy all the time!!!!!!
First NO ONE IS "PERFECT." Democrats have to win in the fall. PERIOD!
Joe Biden is someone who can go out and get the job done. Good guys do not win, sorry that's reality in the politcal world. I for one do not like all the crap, but that's the way it is and believe me it will be like that for sometime to come. I am 57 years and willing to give Obama-Biden a chance as the old man, well I cannot think of another four years.
Do you really want the old man who cannot remember how many homes he ownes or what year or time of day it is!
I still believe the American people will give Obama a chance. I wish the HC people would remember health care, ending the occupation in Iraq just to mention two! The old man will keep us in war and no chance for any health care reform.
I am willing to give Obama a chance and stop looking for perfect. I am never going to say President McCain and it would do you well to stop writing down to us and get out and do something to help get Obama elected. That's are only hope!
Thank you. Chance that's what politics is!
Like they say at the drag strip; you got to run what you brung.
They also say; chrome won't take you home.
The worn out jalopy that is the Democratic party would fare better in a sailboat race what with all the wind that this will generate.
I'm going to forego the popcorn and head straight for the liquor cabinet. PMFOT,s
For whatever role the VEEP would play in an Obama administration, Joe Biden has been there and seen it, done quite a bit of it, and has always seemed a fairly reasonable guy to me. HIs early take on Iraq was particularly logical. Many other points he has made in speeches, debates, etc, are not the same old Demo pablum that other Demo so-called leaders spew ad nauseum, and he has learned the art of keeping his mouth shut when to do otherwise would just bring grief.
I had written Obama off – not even considering voting for the man – but now I'm interested in listening to and watching further developments.
So much for consensus, eh Doug ??
Obama is damned for whatever he does by someone around here.
How does that old say go?
You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people, all of the time
Oh, and add to it…you can't please Doug, period!
By the way, you got the date wrong. Oh, and I couldn't help but notice the McCain for POTUS ad on the site. So much for non-partisanship (har,har)!
At least he picked a good attack dog! Biden is going to CRUCIFY McCain on EVERYTHING!
BTW, Do you ever eat your words when you are wrong?
As a member of the staff here you should at least learn how this site functions before making a complete fool of yourself by claiming an ad paid for my the McCain campaign suggests this site is partisan. If you had taken the time to inquire you would have learned that our two national ad reps have booked ads from both the Obama and McCain campaigns and that during the primaries nearly every candidate on both sides of the fence purchased ads on Capitol Hill Blue.
We allow both sides to buy ads because we are non-partisan. Ask some of the partisan web sites if they allow ads from candidates on the other side of the political spectrum.
You're welcome to your opinion on the issues, just like everyone else around here but the next time you post such an uninformed piece of crap that questions my integrity it had better include your resignation as moderator of the blog sections. You can disagree with me all you want but you will not lie on this web site about my political non-partisanship.
As for eating my words, I have done so more than once over the past 14 years. I would expect you to know that. The fact that you don't makes me wonder if I made a wise choice in bringing you on board.A more pressing question is, will you eat your words when you are wrong, as you are so completely in this case?
Doug I disagree with you completely this time, but know the feeling well. I had nightmares when Bush chose Cheney as his V.P…but they were mild compared to what reality wrought with this combined duo at the helm.
I can't believe however, that you truly believe…"This action makes the insanity of George W. Bush look reasoned and sober." For me, there is NOTHING nor ANYBODY who can or will ever make "the insanity of Bush look reasoned" perhaps on occasion sober, but NEVER reasoned! I am curious, who would you have suggested as Obama's veep?, please share that with us.
Joe Biden is respected on Capitol Hill and has the experience and knowledge under his belt that Obama will sorely need. I wish them luck and give them my support.
It doesn't really matter if Obama picked Dumbo the elephant as his running mate, both parties will see fit to continue the selling off of America and her citizens.
There will never be real change in this country because there is too much money and power to be had, at our expense of course. Real change would mean dismantling the institutionalized corruption that represents just another day at the office for our Political Class.
No, they will still take our money under the guise of helping us, and distribute it amongst their friends and associates. We will still start wars around the world under the guise of helping those that we slaughter, because miltarism is all we have left.
And Americans will continue to fund their own destruction, happily swallowing every fetid morsel of shit our worshipful masters and their media whores ejaculate. It's far easier to believe in a lie than to fight for the truth.
The only things left in this country are prisons and the military. Slavery was never abolished, it was expanded to include all of America. A scientific slave state is what we have now, complete with digital chains and virtual cells. Hardly noticeable, really, until you become aware of them and try to break free.
A new shade of lipstick for the hideous, slovenly pigs in Washington. Nothing more, nothing less.
Griff, truer words were never spoken, absolutely. That was SPOT ON. A solid Bullseye.
Welcome to the club of Obama skeptics, Doug.
McCain only needs to stay alive till November and he will win. The Dems are nominating a new version of Mondale and Dukasis – well-meaning guys who are doomed to lose.
Obama is a dreamer and a talker. He should be a preacher or an entertainer. Give the guy a job he can handle.
It's time for a reality check. This is not the greatest nation on the face of the earth. It does not have the highest standard of living nor the highest per capita income. It does not have the highest moral values. It is probably the most hypocrital and corrupt nation on the face of the earth and what little it does have is being taken away by illegal immigrants. It is one nation, under God with liberty and justice for a priviledged few.
Which leads you to conclude WHAT about the election of Barack Obama?
Do tell.
The joke starts in the title, "The day the Obama dream died."
It's just so impartial, isn't it? It's not that he's directing your attention, from a great and noble height, towards a particular theme. He merely offers a pre-corpse requiem solemnly pronounced. 'We gather here today to remember the not quite deceased…'
It's not as though Doug secretly harbors any axe to grind against Obama personally. He's already said he hasn't. So there.
But speaking objectively Doug already has astral traveled across America and conducted an espionage mission: a voter satisfaction survey of like-minded blokes. Really very scientific.
And those supporters of The Book Of Doug responded in kind appreciation of his crystal ball certainty of future events. (BTW, could I borrow it for the Stock Market, Doug?)
Why doubt what he says? If you think the way Doug does Obama MUST lose. So stop fidgeting and just submit, won't you?
Or, imagine that it isn't Doug but gorgeous Seven Of Nine telling you what's what – "Resistance is Futile."
A self-wished prophecy.
Otherwise your points, not Doug's are more to the issue – why would anyone sane let anyone as unstable as McCain win, and usher in 4 more years of Bush lunacy?
For Doug, it is best that we all become the dejected and pathetic losers who sigh and watch the boob tube in sorrow on election day. As the economy crashes we can sigh collectively "If only more people had voted! Obama not McCain would be in the White House – but we didn't turn up and vote."
Doug was so right to encourage us not to.
A visionary that guy. He's just being helpful…
Obama/Biden are so far superior to McCain/? that Obama's cynical pragmatism/(flip-flopping)in this era of dumpster-diving journalism has to excused. What alternative do you offer Mr. Thompson aside from pissing on the Obama parade and threatening a staff member who disagrees with your churlish buffoonery.
Forget the future. Forget any hope of salvation for a nation in need. Get ready for the Presidency of John McCain. The kid from Chicago ain't got what it takes to play with the big boys.
The mafia has a saying for what we are facing: new boss, same as the old boss.
So that's it Doug? We should just give up now? We should stop following the election? We should stop reading this site? We should not bother voting?
Beyond the arrogance of writing like you already know all the answers, there is the idiocy at believing that this one decision will in and of itself, decide the election. Frankly Doug, you should know this better than any of us. A thousand things will happen between now and November that will dramatically effect the outcome of this race. For you to declare the race over when you know perfectly well that it's not, only sets yourself up to look foolish, again.
Replying to myself here Doug as I see you've "revised" this article, or at least the title.
Interesting that you admit to "some" of the article being over the top, but even more interesting that you didn't remove the last two graphs that I quoted above.
You may want to consider a 2nd revision.
Hopefully, you'll get it right before November.
Obama finally proved that he does have good judgment by picking Joe Biden for VP, except it should be Joe on the top of that ticket. Now we will vote for Obama/Biden. We were going to just stay home.
And Doug, you have just proven to me that you are the same sort of political hack that just spews garbage. In short, you don't know the difference between your butt and a hole in the ground! Even gawd-awful, sour-puss Brit Hume had only one thing to say about Joe on FOX yesterday, and it was that Joe Biden was a genuinely nice and decent man.
So go take a flying leap, Doug. I volunteered for Joe Biden in Iowa and anyone who bad-mouths him is on my s**t list!
I have said from the very beginning that Obama was not going to win and this only convinces me more. Not only is he incapable of the office, he is unable to select a viable running mate. Talk about the final nail in the election year coffin with Doug hitting it right on the head. I'm glad you finally turned around and saw the light.
The damned shame of it is, we're still stuck with BushCo.
Tell us all how deeply you will suffer for letting it happen.. Don't spare us your pain.
Not if you don't vote for it we're not….
Can't understand it.
I'm pushing 70 and I've never seen so many people so dejected that they last thing on their mind is stepping back from 4 more years of floundering in quicksand and just trying another path to survival.
They keep posting – 'Sure. It's true and all. I know it's gonna be just as bad with McCain as it was with Bush …'
And then they punt.
Heard an interesting quip on the net from BBC's "The Bugle" ("an audio broadcast for a visual world")
"..he used to sell parachutes to indecisive lemmings."
Well, they can't be American lemmings, because this election cycle by marching with the we're-too-funked-up herd they're going to follow all the misery they can imagine right over the cliff.
Go figure.
As I said, Obama is going to lose. McCain will receive the majority of electoral votes (a poor system, IMHO, but the only one we have at this point), and he will be the winner. As I said to my friend, who is going to vote for Obama, it won't matter in NJ, because he will carry the state anyway. If you lived in a different state, where it might matter how you voted, your vote and others could make the difference. But in NJ it won't.
AveryMoore Said it well….
We can all keep bickering and at least be satisfied that we have vented. But if you don't want 4 more years of a reincarnated Bush – a guy too erratic and feeble to be safely given an air traffic controller's post – it's time to swallow the indignation, stop kvetching about what you'd rather see, and get rid of two disasters.
First: the Bush machine.
Second: reform the Democratic Party from the top down.
Neither will happen if McCain wins. It's dead certain that if Obama loses that's what a fool's bargain will bring us: Four more years of crap in your corn flakes.
I think he has it backwards on one point. We need to re-form/take over the Democratic party and our democracy from the bottom up. Grass roots networking and community building (in the 3d world AND cyberspace) is the only real long term solution. People who understand each other and are committed to common aims and values are not going to be swayed by any kind of Rovian bullshit.
Obama isn't a revolutionary, he's moderately progressive; but he will follow the lead of the people if/when we become a real massive "movement for quality".
Electing Obama is just a first step to real change.
If we allow McCain to win because Obama's not "pure" enough for us then all of our worst case scenario may become self fulfilling prophecies.
I know that if I'm Karl Rove and I read the "rant" above I would be cackling with great glee.
I'm not stupid or ignorant; I understand and acknowledge just how far Obama/Biden is from ideal….but I'm also smart enough to know that when you're stranded in a desert about to collapse and you're thirsty enough to drink a gallon of water (metaphorically speaking you would be seriously mistaken if you turned down a cold pint on the basis of it not being good enough.
Electing Obama; Good. Allowing McCain to "win"; bad. It's really that obvious.
Agreed. In terms of ideals, you're absolutely right.
"I think he has it backwards on one point. We need to re-form/take over the Democratic party and our democracy from the bottom up."
In terms of political reality, the system you recognize to be corrupted and dysfunctional won't blithely let that happen. Not without a leader to lead the charge..
And that's a huge threat to the money train of the status quo in the Dem politburo.
There's something else to consider. Regardless of nationality, corrupt systems are keenly aware of how very corrupt they truly are. They do not suffer reformers gladly and if it comes to civil war over reform, as long as the oligarchs are relatively unscathed in wiping out 'disloyal' opposition then so be it..
Witness Burma. And those horrible pacifist Monks. Or another absurdity and land grab, Tibet.
The calculus alters however where movements are too massive and popular to be put down – even the troops start to say, 'no more, not this time' – Witness the old Soviet Union.
So yes, I put the priority of reform at electing Obama first.
Because if Obama loses, as so many on these pages urge others to let happen, he is finished. He will join Gore, and Kerry in the non-grata department and all hopes possible to a young man with a willingness and the capacity to listen and learn, and the brazen intelligence to lead, will be shelved.
The 'Obama's Not Ever Perfect Enough' emphasis will never acknowledge the positives of Obama's candidacy. They will predict that his 'failures', to satisfy his most ardent opponents, presage a disastrous inability to satisfy people who admire and\or adore him for being bright, fresh and currently their only hope.
Thus the K-Street talking points barrage will continue and accelerate. Until enough Democrats and undecideds notice just who it is claiming to be loyal Dems, while urging other Dems to throw in the towel.
As I said to my friend, who is going to vote for Obama, it won't matter in NJ, because he will carry the state anyway. If you lived in a different state, where it might matter how you voted, your vote and others could make the difference. But in NJ it won't.
And you DON'T see the problem with this? You've bought into the notion that polls can replace elections. If 100,000 NJ democrats were to take your advice and stay home because "Obama is going to carry the state anyway", don't you see how that greatly DECREASES his chances of carrying the state?
I certainly hope your friend in NJ told you to shut up and stop screwing with his vote.
You got it right.
Aren't you glad that so many people are offering "It's Hopeless!" in place of a the simpler democratic electoral option?
– by not voting do I keep Bush policies going till we're all bankrupted or dead, or kick these pickpockets out for screwing the country?
Amazing isn't it? For seemingly, intelligent, fed up people, how can this be such a brutally tough call!
Their solution? Let's all be demoralized instead..
Like that's going to help anyone!
Doug Thompson your Rant has me wondering if you are on McCains Payroll, are McCain in disguise or just another Puma.
Furthermore your comment to pollchecker about his position, and the additional "{ a volunteer at that }" displays a well know McCain type attack…slimy.
That crude remark also shows your lack of knowledge, and a total disrespect to the many Volunteers across the land…who are indispensable to the many businesses and organizations…who could not function without volunteers. SHAME ON YOU DOUG THOMPSON.

From the top result of the google search ( ) .............
Reality is an invention of my imagination.
Bob Parkers unit and circuit (bottom of page) are here or you could buy a kit
Hello everyone. Regarding the schematic diagram of Mr. Fernbay, how will you calibrate that ESR meter? Kindly please send me the information @ email@example.com. Thanx
When i made mine i just used some good caps and some old dogey caps
This will be the best tool you will ever make
When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
Simmo (21-01-11)
Just buy the ESR MKII kit from altronics
they are an awsoem meter and it doubles as a low OHMS meter. cost is about $90.

The official ballot summary said:
"The Oklahoma Constitution prohibits increases in compensation for constitutional officers during their terms of office. Corporation and Tax Commissioners start their terms at different times, thereby sometimes causing unequal compensation during the respective commissioners' terms.

AT Europe: Elle Décoration on How to Make Your Bathroom More Like a Room
Most of us don't have the space to make a room of the bathroom as in this lovely photo from French Elle Décoration. But it's an inspiring reminder to treat the bathroom like another room with decorative touches that can make it a cozy and inviting place to spend time. Even in a small space, replacing a sterile bathroom mirror with a vintage mirror, swapping out the usual bathroom rug for a sheepskin or a flokati, hanging candle sconces or a chandelier, or projecting a great piece of video art on the walls can transform the space. After the jump, highlights of more pointers from the editors at Elle Décoration...
1. Cover one wall with water-resistant vinyl wallpaper.
2. If you have room, put a freestanding tub in the center of the room, rather than pushed up against a wall.
3. Set up bookshelves where you can store books, photos or other objects.
4. Hang a pretty chandelier for soft lighting and a change of atmosphere. If you don't have the space, try light garlands or a bunch of votives.
5. Hang airy curtains from the windows and use opaque cloth blinds to let in the light.
6. Create a mismatched wall of small mirrors to reflect light.
7. If you have room, put a comfortable chair in the bathroom where you can relax.
Other ideas?

I'm trying to figure out why I would want to "relax" in a comfortable chair in my bathroom.
That's a very pretty room but I'm trying not to think about cleaning those drapes.
This is an incredibly beautiful bathroom! Oh how I wish I had the space...
But, some of these ideas just aren't practical for a bathroom unless it's infrequently used or has tremendously good ventilation. The bathroom is prone to dampness and books and fabric (curtains, comfy chair) are wonderful growers of mold and mildew. (Bookes especially... paper is mold food)
Somehow, having a stuffy nose, asthma attack and headache (thanks to my mold allergy) doesn't much sound like a relaxing experience.
I love love love the chandelier though.
This is one of those moments when AT seems to lose its way: If the site is about simplicity and pairing down -- with which I heartily agree -- then why are we talking about bathrooms that belong in the palace at Versaille?
Decorative touches (eg antique mirror) etc., I get -- but who really needs books and lounge chairs in the bath?
But to make a positive contribution here: How about dimmer switches? I have one because I hate snapping on bright light in the middle of the night, and it is nice to have dimmed light for a bath. Chandelier or no!
Flokati in the bathroom? Sheep skin? I'd be wary of stepping on it when my feet are all wet.
Flokati - Video Art - Books - In a bathroom?
You're kidding - Right?
if only my bathroom had windows...
This is gorgeous though not entirely practical for the common bathroom.
I've suspended many small glass Christmas spheres on thin silver wire from the ceiling above my bathtub. It's lovely at bath time with a candle flickering
come on people, it's the Elle Decoration bathroom, of course it's going to be over the top. You might not need a lounge chair in the bathroom but hey, everyone can be quirky in the their own way. Recently I went to a friends house and they had a mounted jackelope on their bathroom wall. Not exactly Elle Decoration, instead more whatever floats your boat.
Years ago, I had friends in a group house (and old Victorian in a cemetary). The huge bathroom had an old wire rotating bookstore rack filled with lurid 1950s paperbacks. Not exactly hygenic, but charming!
if i had servants i would love a bathroom like that
Goodness! Do people really have that difficult a time comprehending why one might want a lounge chair in the bathroom? I for one, enjoy taking a bath while my husband reads in the bathroom with me. That's practical, imo. I occasionally even like sitting for a moment in the quiet of the bathroom, door shut, silence reigning supreme. Ideally, there should be a spot for this that is a little more dignified than the toilet.
That a bathroom should be plush, sensual, textural...well that all sounds A-OK with me, even as the owner of a lot of "simple and pared down" furniture. Practicality can include the sumptuous touches that make life more pleasurable, even if that means the impracticality of a flokati rug in the bathroom.
I love it and have a small bathroom that is infrequently used has a claw foot tub and shelves that we use for towels and decorative items. This weekend the scene will change...... Books here we come.

Installation Kit
Dan from CA– Verified Buyer
I'm happy with this installation kit. It works fine. We buy them all the time from a lot of different sources so I knew what to expect, no surprises.
Easy to install but too much glue in kit
Don from Seattle– Verified Buyer
We ordered the Swanstone tub surround from another company. We didn't realize that we had to order the installation kit separately. [...]Installation went smoothly although complete installation took a couple of days because of the steps involved.

Happy Holidays,
Happy high solar flux.
If you are not on 10-Meters, you need to hurry up and get on.
Solar flux continues to be high and shows that a second peak in the cycle is occurring. Conditions are great.
All charts are based on PropNET 10-Meter PSK31 captures from participants in North America.
Recently solar flux levels have significantly increased.
Trendlines for 2013 are the highest this cycle.
Almost 120,000 captures have occurred since 9/21/2013.
14:00 and 15:00 UTC are the peaks for Trans-Atlantic.
Despite less sun, activity has picked up.
Activity across the North American continent is steady once the sun rises, then declines as the sun sets.
Trans-Equatorial propagation rises steadily after sun up and peaks mid-afternoon.
Trans-Pacific activity peaks late afternoon prior to sunset.
Again, solar flux is high. The predictions are that Cycle 24 will not peak until after mid 2014. Take advantage of the Winter and early Spring Season.
So long and and thank you for reading my posts and papers the past 9 years.
I hope that you have learned a little and have used this Blog to better understand this band.
Happy DX and 73s

Electroplating System Tin Zinc
Item #10049Z
- Adds a brilliant chrome-like finish to brass, copper and steel parts
- Also adds a corrosion-resistant, protective plating
- Easy enough to do at home
About Electroplating System Tin Zinc
This kit solves problems of sending parts out to expensive plating shops, or storing dangerous chemicals by allowing you to conveniently plate almost any metal part at home. This system brings a brilliant luster to properly prepared metal parts with a corrosion-resistant, protective plating resembling chrome but without the expense, hassles or hazards. Electroplating uses electric current to pull small amounts of metal from the positively charged tin-zinc anode bar through electrolyte solution and onto the negatively charged piece to be plated. The anode bar will last through dozens of parts.
The Tin-Zinc Plating Kit includes: 2 quarts of electrolyte (plating solution), anode bar, battery holder, funnel, a 100 gram tube of Autosol polish, an electroplating brush, goggles, pair of disposable gloves, and complete instructions.
We recommend PRE Painting Prep (10041 Z) and Rust Remover (16027). Diamond Clear Gloss for Bare Metal (10200Z) be applied after plating for improved durability.
Always use the Tin-Zinc Electroplating System in a well ventilated area. The electrolyte solution contains Sulphuric Acid. Wear eye and skin protection. Keep a source of clean water nearby to immediately rinse off any splash.
Made in the USA. 30 Day Eastwood Warranty.
This kit will plate steel, brass, & copper (no aluminum or die cast). Parts must be thoroughly degreased and derusted before plating. (We recommend PRE Painting Prep (10041 Z) and Oxisolv Rust Remover (16025). A clear coat like Diamond Clear Gloss for Bare Metal (10200Z) will improve durability. The Plating Solution typically has a cloudy appearance, and should in no way inhibit performance. Agitate slightly before plating. Store Electrolyte in it's original chemical container and place in a sealed plastic bag, between 55 & 95 degrees F. Use in well ventilated area. Avoid contact with electrolyte.

My only negative comment would be the price of the annodes. If you will plate a lot, order a few of them to save on shipping. One bar will go a long way though.
I tagged on a photo of a typical before and after of a carb part. It's hard to capture in a pictrue, but it sure is a nice finish.
Easy to use, works well

Plated the lug nuts on my motorhome.
Before I plated them, I got them down to 1,000 grit and polished them with black, then brown.
The plating system works. However ... the metal is somewhat soft.
It comes out of the plating solution almost white (typical of zinc).
I polished them after CAREFULLY on the buffer with white and a soft bonnet.
They came out nice.
Plated some carburetor parts for the motorhome also and they came out very nice.
This is NOT a chrome - so don't think you are going to get that. It's zinc with some tin.
Hosed unplated and plated lugnuts with water ... the unplated ones immediately flash rusted. The zinc-tin plated ones are still rust free.
So ... yes. It works.
Gobbles up anode bars :-)
Maybe our best new tool!

Are these wines good to drink now?
Im totally uneducated when it comes to wines. I just wrote down a list of wines we have in the basement and wanted to see if they were good to drink now (had bought them a while ago and/or received them as gifts)
Anyway, here is the list:
--Ravenswood Vintners blend..2000 Cali. Zinfandel
--Beringer 1996 Chenin Blanc
--Beringer 1996 Napa Valley Chardonnay Private Reserve
--Rosemount Estate 2002 Shiraz
--RH Phillips 1997 Chardonnay
--Robert Mondavi 1995 Chardonnay Reserve
--Chalk Hill 1996 Chardonnay
--J. Strub 1996 Neirsteiner Hipping Riesling Spatlese
--Meursault 1995 White burgundy
( also discovered 4 bottles of champagne left over from parties (unopened)...would those still be good as well? The Perrier & Jouet is dated 1990, Im not sure about the others)
Thanks so much!
Yes, with one or two possible exceptions, they're all ready to drink. Some may even be past peak. The possible exceptions are the Riesling and the Meursault, which, depending on the producer and assuming good storage conditions, may have plenty of life left in them. On the other hand, they may not and they're probably drinking well now, so seize the day.
re: carswell
thanks! I was mainly worried about them going bad...they've been stored in the basement but its not temp controlled etc
re: SBackes
Carswell is being quite diplomatic, I think.
-- Ravenswood makes their Vintners Blend Zinfandel for current consumption. That doesn't mean it cannot age, but it does mean they are ready to drink as soon as it hits the shelf. This 2000 was released five years ago. It may be fine, but I'd have a backup handy just in case.
-- Beringer makes their Chenin Blanc to drink now, and it generally doesn't age well. For an off-dry California Chenin Blanc, 10+ years is pushing it.
-- Beringer's Private Reserve Chardonnay can age a bit, but this is a 1996, and that's a very long time for 99% of all California Chardonnays.
-- Rosemount Estate 2002 Shiraz . . . this istheir "black diamond" label, I presume. Should be fine, but I wouldn't hang onto it for much longer.
-- RH Phillips makes wines, again, ready to drink now. It is one year younger than the Beringer, and its aging potential is is far less.
-- As for the Robert Mondavi, this has a slightly better change than the Beringer, IMHO, but . . .
-- When it comes to the Chalk Hill, their Chardonnays typically have better structure, better acidity either Beringer and/or Mondavi. Still, it's nearly 11 years of age.
-- J. Strub 1996 Neirsteiner Hipping Riesling Spatlese may work.
-- Meursault is a region within Burgundy, and you don't mention the producer, but this, too, may be fine.
As far as the Champagnes are concerned, the 1990 Perrier-Jouët should be fine. Without knowing the names of the other bottles, it's hard to hazzard a guess.
re: zin1953
I was really hoping for details like this....thanks so much. I guess I'll just have to drink all these myself in case they aren't in the best state to have for guests ;)
re: zin1953
For the Ravenswood VB Zin, I usually pick up a case/year for cooking and for the cook. I often have a few that languish for a year, or so, in the cellar, and they are still good, for what they are, but I'd wonder about seven years in the cellar. They should not be "bad," but worry that there will be much left in them.
As for some of the domestic (US) Chards, I think that it'll depend on exactly what one likes in a Chard. I've had some great domestic Chards with 10+ years on them, but rather like a well-structured Chard with some age. My wife likes 'em younger, so one's MMV on these.
I agree, regarding the Meursault. Depending on the producer, it should be great, or very good, if one likes an aged Chard.
In very general terms, I'd plan on "drinking up," and hope for the best with most of these.
Remember, your "prime" might well be my "over the hill," or vice versa. If stored well, none should be "bad," just a little flat and one-dimensional now.
None of those is too young. Some may be too old. The Perrier Joet should be consumed now and should be very good.
All but the shiraz and possibly the Meursault & riesling are probably past peak... the Zinfandel is probably peaking now...
That said, assuming it's true, it's still interesting to try bottles that are supposedly over the hill... often you discover that they've matured quite nicely and retain alot of their drinkability despite a bit of decay... it would be very interesting to get your tasting notes on these bottles, please report same.
re: MEalcentric
will definitely check this out, thanks
re: SBackes
There's lots that I like about cellatracker, but the drinking windows are often pretty arbitrary in my experience. I believe they are just based on community averages, so if you have a wine that only one person has entered a drinking window for, and that person has put "from 2005 thru 2099", that's the window you'll get. If a second person then puts "from 2010 thru 2019", you will presumably end up with something like "from 2007 thru 2049". Not terribly helpful. It's a bit more reliable with more widely purchased wines (assuming you believe in the wisdom of the herd).
You don't say what the basement conditions are like (exposure to light, temperature.) If they've just been sitting on a shelf exposed to room lighting at temps comfortable to people, they're probably all toast; the cooler and darker the conditions, the better your chances; reasonable humidity too is even better. Some lesser Riesling can age very well but that particular one is unlikely to be anything "special" (good-ish producer, OK year) and prematurely aged Riesling, if that's the case, is a bit unusual, let's say. But as everyone else is saying, it can't hurt to check 'em out, just don't make dinner party plans around them...
Historically, i.e., before 1978-1980, Wine producers made wine in different ways than they do now. It used to be that wine was made, bottled, and released, and you needed to keep it until it was "ready". Of course back then you could also still go into any semi-decent wine store and buy 21 year old bottles of vintage port off the shelf.
Then the boom hit. Demand overran production and changes were made. Most changes in the wine industry over the past 40 years have been great, a few I lament.
Very very few wineries make wine the way they "used to" anymore. Most of it is acceptable to drink when it is bottled.
There are some interesting exceptions, and you can artificially have some fun as well if you like. I used to store cheap wine that people would bring for holidays in the back of the wine area, and wait 8-10 years to look at them. I remember some awfully cheap wines that after 8-10 years aged and mellowed quite nicely. The rest we threw out or used for cooking. One soave in particular was great after a decade, it had turned golden and developed a lovely finish; the person who had given it to me was stunned when I reminded them of the gift and told them how great it was after a decade.
I recently bought 3 cases of a 1975 auslese. It is like a trip in a time machine, not even the bottle is the same size anymore. Yeah it has a few gray hairs, but it is the color of amber, and tastes like tupelo honey and apricots and sunshine from 32 years ago, so I'm happy.
re: wino22
With the exclusion of several FR Chards (note: not any dessert wines here), I used to feel the same. However, over the decades, I've experienced many Cal-Chards, that were great at 10 years of age in my cellar. Now, most of these were well-crafted wines to begin with, but aged wonderfully. The Beringer & Mondavi Chards in the OP's list *might* be good candidates for their being sublime wines now, even with the years of aging.
Not long ago, I found a "lost" btl. of Ferrari-Carano Reserve Sonoma Chard from '73. It had been in the wrong bin, and I figured that it was long gone. Brought it up (along with a backup), and it was anything BUT long gone. What a wonderful wine. Yes, it had changed dramatically, but then I wished that I still had my full case from release. When I was next at the winery, I tried to buy some of their library Chards, but they had just done a clearance for the employees. None was left. Oh well, I now try to stick away a few bottles of bigger Cal-Chards to age them, along with my Burgs.
Now, aged whites (non-dessert) might not appeal to all, but I love them. My wife, who likes even her Ports young, has fallen in love with some aged domestic (US) Chards. Remember, I'm not talking about Yellowtail Chards here.
This is the funnest thread ever! Can you 'hounds please perform a similar analysis on the only six "serious" bottles currently remaining in my, er, cellar:
1991 Muga Prado Enea
1997 Angelica Zapata Malbec Alta
2000 Coppo Pomorosso Barbera D'Asti (don't laugh! this is, like, a serious Barbera)
2002 Ojai Roll Ranch Syrah
2002 Trevor Jones Dry Grown Barossa Shiraz
2003 Coppo Alterego (Nebbiolo/Barbera blend??)

I am writing to let you know that the little bottle of face serum I purchased last week when my friend and I came to your shop is amazing! As an Herbalist myself I wanted to write and tell you that I am absolutely amazed by that tiny little bottle. My friend and I came a week ago today and the texture of the skin on my face has already improved!
Thanks for you wonderful little bottle and your amazing little store. As I said when I was there — the store was made and filled with love. Hope to see you soon.
