Why Trump Hates Walz

I admit it. What I knew about Tim Walz before the past month you could have fit in a thimble with room for a change of clothes. All I knew was that he was a successful governor of Minnesota. But I approve of the open process that allowed him to rise to the top of the list and, now, to the second spot on the Democratic ticket. He evidently earned the vice president’s trust and demonstrated a unique kind of political charm that gradually won over the electorate. It is clear that the vice president chose a guy with whom she felt good about working, which is the only real criterion that matters for a running mate.

But it makes sense—bourbon, and all whiskey really, is subject to passionate obsession as much as anything else that people have strong feelings about (like music, food, cars, and movies). How you feel about the spirit is entirely subjective, although there are a few objective truths: It must be made from a mash bill containing at least 51 percent corn in the U.S., aged in new charred oak containers (not barrels, even though virtually all bourbon is aged in them), distilled to no more than 160 proof, put into barrels at no more than 125 proof, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof. If you are in the market for a little guidance as to what might be a quality bourbon to try, one that you can actually find for less than $100 per bottle (and mostly much less than that), here are our 25 favorite bourbon brands to drink now.

No one was expecting another Barbenheimer-level sensation this year. So it’s encouraging that despite the lack of one, there’s still been strong enthusiasm around new releases both big and small. Old reliables of the superhero (Deadpool & Wolverine) and animated (Inside Out 2) variety are crushing it, as are ambitious genre films (Longlegs) and modest indies (Thelma). The movie business is still struggling to find its footing following last year’s strikes, but moviegoers are turning out. It’s enough to make you hopeful that the storm clouds are clearing and sunny days are on the way.
