Pass the Courvoisier

I have, for some time, taken exception to many things that the Wine Spectator has reported or opined. Throw another log on the fire. According to the article, John Q. Six-pack is well on his way to legally changing his name. Come to think of it, John Q. Cognac has a better ring to it as well.

The reality is that this has nothing to do with J.Q.S-p at all. I understand that the article is written in a Dragnet - 'just the facts ma'am - style but why isn't the obvious even alluded to? Is this pure intellectual laziness or an attempt on the part of Spectator's editorial staff to avoid sounding racist?

The 'Yac' is back and its rollin' with the Hen. They're gonna hook up with Remy at the club and mix it all with high fructose, carbonated crap.

How big is the rock that one must be hiding under not to notice a direct correlation between what the Hip-Hop culture in this country rhymes about and what the general public buys?

"Among the states, California consumed the largest amount of brandy overall last year (19 percent of total volume), followed by New York (8 percent) and Illinois (6 percent)."

Gee, I wonder, what major cities are in these three states? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count. BTW, this is a very small and some-what unrelated example as to why the Electoral College exists.

I trust Jay-Z and P. Diddy have good lawyers and are getting a piece of this ever-growing pie.
