    right, right and right. But I couldn't help but to intrude and try to americanize the process by adding czars.

    NWR: Nominations for Politburo positions

    Uh-oh. I see myself banished to a Siberian Wine and Food Tasting Exposition....hmmm, what sort of plonk goes well with gruel...maybe, plonk? Then again, maybe this would be a good title for one of Jim's upcoming wine and food posts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oak_and_the_Calf

    NWR: Nominations for Politburo positions

    The ministry positions are great, but Id like to make a few suggestions for positions for lower tier aides.

    Technique Fixations

    Dam. After lurking on Wine Therapy with a post rate of 2 per year, I come here and think I'll be able to jump right in... not sure, now, this one's already making my grey matter hurt. Too many big words. Spoof is a nearly an appropriate term, but only due to it's long use to describe the...
