Free Wine! Getcher Free Wine!
Frequent commenter Paul Deignan has agreed to enter into a bet with me. The best part: he is certain to lose. That means a free $20 bottle of wine for yours truly. Details here.
There are three spots left, for you free wine lovers out there.
UPDATE: Here are the terms. I am betting that the Democrats successfully filibuster at least one judge during the rest of the Bush presidency (defined as the presidency of any Republican in office through January 2009). A successful filibuster is one that is not shut down by a procedural device such as a successful cloture vote, or the successful deployment of the nuclear option. If there is a successful filibuster during the rest of Bush’s presidency — including even Saad or Myers — I win. If there is no successful filibuster — I’m doing my best not to snicker as I say this — Paul wins.
It’s a lock.
Anyone interested a side bet as to how long it will take me to win?
UPDATE x2: Xrlq was the first to make the bet.
My oh my but you are a confident one.
Of course, the recent Bolton fiasco does not bode well for me. This could be a windfall for the brave henny pennies out there (or not?)

Afte looking at the text of the law, it seems to me that a person *in the business of selling alcoholic beverages* is prohibited from shipping alcoholic beverages to residents of Indiana.
