Dear Booze Lady,

I've been watching the presidential election carefully. While I can barely see the TV most of the time, I'm equally blind of the real difference any of these candidates will make in my life. I'm at a stand-still with my final choice. As a tie breaker, I'd like to know two things: Which candidates drink scotch? And, what is their favorite brand?

Visibly challenged,

Mr. Magoo

Dear Mr. Magoo,

Your sight challenge has sharpened your other senses much in the style of Longstreet and Master Po. You can't "see" a real difference where none exists.The 3 candidates represent the latest stage of a self perpetuating bureaucratic cancer that if you're rich will take at least your money and if you're not will take at least your independence. Dammit, whatever happened to noblesse oblige? Anyway, our intrepid trio will say/drink anything to woo the voting public. I, however, an drinking like tomorrow is a rumour awaiting the political sameness. I recommend The Famous Grouse (most popular brand in scotland) as a midday bracer. Magoo, go out there and hang a chad but remember to stock the bar so you're prepared to console the inevietable. Indifference in difference,

BL
