The men and women behind the curtain in Washington have pulled the levers of the political machine and produced a “solution” to the impending default on U.S. debt.
Should we celebrate or cry? You’ll have to answer that one.

There is something to celebrate, however – two new bourbons. Yea boy!
Dry Fly Distilling in Spokane, Washington released the state’s first bourbon over the weekend. Selling at $65 a bottle it was gone in a couple hours, according to The Spokesman Review.
Smooth Ambler Spirits is located in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia.
Don Poffenroth and Kent Fleischmann started the company back in 2006. They are using a pot still with a capacity of 450 liters (about 120 gallons).
The other new product came out a couple weeks ago in West Virginia. Smooth Ambler Yearling Bourbon is produced out of the Smooth Ambler Spirits company in the Greenbrier Valley. They produced a small batch – 700 pints.
That company started a couple years ago. John Little and John Foster first produced vodka, gin and whiskey.
According to company information they are aging in small casks and are using eco-friendly processes.
Two new bourbons are reason to celebrate. Political wrangling, um, not so much.
