Looks like Absolut’s got some splaining to do. The funny thing is the conquistadors took that land from the Apaches, Navajos and whoever else, then left it to the Mexican revolutionaries, who then lost it in war but were still paid for it anyway by Uncle Sugar, even while Mexico City was being held by the short and curlies by Winfield Scott. And then there’s the Gadsden PURCHASE, so-called because we paid for it as a route for the Southern Pacific. I could go on and on about economic levels in border towns on each side of the border, but what’s the point?

I guess I’ll be taking Smirnoff in my White Russians from now on.
