They distinctly changed the recipe. It's no different than Champagne and Prosecco and Sparkling Wine. You can make the stuff, it just isn't called Bourbon. Why is it appropriation to use the same damn rules here that you already had in Europe?
In the time period that you are talking about the Dems controlled the house, Senate, and Whitehouse for something like 3-4 months. They were busy with the ACA during that time period. They should have raised the minimum wage then, but I don't think they realized they would keep losing the house and Senate for the next 15 years
It's considered one of the better adaptations. Gonzo plays Charles Dickens, as Dickens historically made a fair bit of money in his later years narrating his stories in person. Michael Caine plays Scrooge. It's excellent. Kermit and Piggy are Bob and Emily Crathit.
The votes to raise the minimum wage that have reached the floor since then have been split on party lines, and the Republicans are the ones voting against.
I'm no expert on alcohol, but when I went to the distillery in Bourbon County, they tell it was made by accident originally. Basically the distillery burned down, and they tried reusing the burnt barrels only to find that the whiskey had a pleasant flavor?
What's appropriation there? The locals just brought the whiskey recipe with them when they hopped the pond.
I just suggested it, as I played in a campaign as a Dweomersmith/Wizard with a Loremaster/Cleric, and a Psionic Monk. We were pretty much unstoppable, even without our followers.
It's also Dick Van Dykes 100th birthday today!
