There are so many things to mock about General Electric Vox from the fact that there is almost no Vox Populi (i.e. reader's comments) in Vox except for a narcissistic story celebrating itself after just three weeks on the web to Sarah Kliff reporting today with a straight face about how the White House considers that rising health care spending means ObamaCare is working. Perhaps the most hilarious thing about Vox so far is an interview by Vox's Matthew Yglesias of the new hero of the Left who wrote a book decrying capitalism, Thomas Piketty. So what was so funny about that interview? It took place at the bar of the St. Regis Hotel, close to the White House, which serves $16 cocktails.

Sonny Bunch of the Washington Free Beacon exposes this in a way (and photos such as the one you see here)  to make you burst out laughing enough to spill a Remy Martin Louis XIII drink:

The positive thing is that it only costs $2.50 for a liter and each swig gets you wrecked.

I’m fairly certain it is a mix of bad tap water, industrial alcohol, corn syrup and a touch of sour grape juice.

It was so nasty that it made “Steel Reserve” taste like water.
