The More You Learn, the More "Buy American"

...sounds like a quaint sentiment from a forgotten age. I don't think we have anything left to buy.

Pernod Ricard to cut debt, sell Wild Turkey

French drinks company Pernod Ricard SA on Wednesday unveiled a debt reduction plan that includes raising euro1 billion ($1.3 billion) in fresh capital and selling off its Wild Turkey bourbon brand to Italy's Gruppo Campari.

Gruppo Campari has agreed to pay $575 million in cash for the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky-based Wild Turkey, Pernod Ricard said in a statement.


Really?

It's still made here, you...turkey.

And no, there's nothing 'left' to buy because the Chinese own everything, anyway.

I had bad experiences with Wild Turkey in the past. It is a quality product, I just liked it too much if you know what I mean.

Today, even seeing the wild turkeys at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo gets my stomach a little queezy

The first real good hangover I experienced involved almost a half a bottle of Wild Turkey (after quite a bit of beer and other shots of course).
