I'll hoist a Boston Lager to that



Yeah, well then Tony, I'd say there'd probably be a WHOLE LOT of pints bein' consumed out there in THAT case!

'CAUSE since time immemorial, the "highest seats of Governments" HAVE pretty much been filled with "vain and aspiring men"!

(...'cause it sure HASN'T been the "shy, modest and retiring" types who've usually had the ambition to seek power, ya know!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
