I'll need to bring some Absolut to this weekend's LPNC convention:

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The distillers of Sweden's Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.

Ooh, a trip to the state liquor store. That always makes me feel nostalgic for the USSR - it's like having a living museum of communism right down the road. How handy!

sigh.

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
- Lao Tzu
