23. I refuse to use "the good stuff" for this

Sat Aug 30, 2025, 01:59 PM

Aug 30

I have a few bottles of Andre Cold Duck set aside for Trump’s demise.

My family has a history with Cold Duck: when my dad was in the Bureau of Public Roads, the supervisor of the crew we were part of LOVED Cold Duck. Every year the crew’s Christmas gift from him, which he paid for with his own money, was a frozen Turkey and a bottle of Cold Duck. I don’t think anyone else liked the wine, but it was the thought that counts.

So…the most undrinkable sparkling wine there is sounds just perfect for the death of our commie dictator.
