VIDEO THEY'VE GOT HIM! THEY'VE GOT HIM! Or...maybe they don't. Watch as Chris Matthews goes over the top jubilant over what he thinks is slam dunk evidence in the Trump phone transcript of quid pro quo high crimes and misdemeanors that must lead inevitably to impeachment. However, a little while later Matthews who was so overjoyed initially over the phone transcript casts doubts on its accuracy. Gee! So if it is a supposed slam dunk, Chris, why are you casting aspersions upon its accuracy?

Jim Beam and Kid Rock, The Secret to Getting Things Done? Even though they’re not familiar with his songs, I hope the Vietnam vets attending the Kid Rock concert Tuesday night at Van Andel Arena receive an acknowledgment from the star of the show — and maybe a few of the fans at the sold-out event. It’s been more than 40 years in the making. To understand the significance of what is happening Tuesday, we need to go back to the mid 1960s, when Grand Rapids resident Rick Falls joined a handful of other teenage and 20-something soldiers from around...

Whiskey co.'s Bravest effort BY RICHARD WEIR DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER In 212 years, not much has changed on the label of a Jim Beam bottle - except the occasional addition of a new name to a list of distillers that spans seven generations. But the Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey has a new label in New York that pays tribute to the legacy of a fallen firefighter. Replacing the time-honored red seal and Jim Beam family crest is a red firefighter's helmet emblazoned with "343" - the number of firefighters who died on Sept. 11, 2001. Next to the helmet,...

SEATTLE - A mutual fund company that invests only in businesses it deems socially responsible has dropped Starbucks Corp., citing the coffee giant's launch of a java liqueur with whiskey maker Jim Beam.

Nearly all of the fish in a creek near a whiskey warehouse have died since fire destroyed the building and spilled its contents last week, and state officials have cited owner Jim Beam. Lightning set the warehouse on fire on Aug. 4, and more than 800,000 gallons of burning bourbon flowed into a retaining pond and then into the creek. State officials were investigating whether a larger fish kill downstream in the Salt River also is attributable to bourbon in the water. Water-quality test results from the Salt River won't be ready for several days, said Joseph Schmidt, a scientist...

BARDSTOWN, Ky. - The smell of burning whiskey lingered in the air Tuesday as the remnants of a fire that destroyed a warehouse that had held 800,000 gallons of Jim Beam bourbon continued to burn.
