Especially since one of the ingredients in Mariani was coca leaf!

Very true...but the strange thing is that Mariani still sold well after the cocaine was dropped...Same as Coca-Cola. I have both of the original recipes for Coke, and it's interesting how that great drink of yesterday has become the sugar water of today.

Good point, barely worth the bother. It seems like some bad satire, not a real product.

Money and the pursuit thereof, is this couple's god.
Piss on them...lol.

Yes, indeed.

Piss on them...lol.

LOL, indeed, probably tastier than the wine!

GOOD to see you, cookie. :)

I say this is beyond contempt, beyond disturbing--it's sick and twisted...

Why does TX, home base for bedrock conservatism turn out the most militant, underhanded, semi-nuts liberals? Thinking Dan Rather, LBJ and the city of Austin here.

You can't be a journalist working for a news organization and sell t-shirts about the story you are working on for that employer/news organization. For example, do you think it would be OK for the CBS White House reporter to be out on Sat and Sun set up in front of the White House in Lafayette Park selling "George Bush is an Idiot and Nazi" t-shirts at a booth? ... I don't think so, regardless of the economic issue, its a conflict of interest and unethical and journalistically uncredible.
