Ironically, California is not nearly as liberal as people think it is. Gay marriage was voted down, by popular vote, TWICE!
If left to a congressional vote, it would have been passed with flying colors.

Suddenly making bad ass shine isn't a skill?WASHINGTON, June 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In 1970, nine percent of California's population was comprised of immigrants; by 2008 it was 27 percent. A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that as a result of immigration, California now has the least-educated labor force of any state. Historically, California was not a state with a disproportionately large unskilled population, like Appalachia or parts of the South. However, immigration has transformed the state. Absent a change in immigration policy, other parts of the country may be transformed in a similar fashion.
haha, great story; +rephad some shine when i was in WV once.... holy shit
guy asks me if i want a drink and pulls out a big ass 1 gallon clear jar
thinking to myself... "shit you cant turn this down... it takes some decent trust for someone to bust out the shine... and when am i guna get this chance again"
so i say, "yeah sure, ill have some... thanks"
he asks "ever had this before"
"no" (little scared at this point)
he pours like half a fucking juice tumbler full of the shit
now im really scared
he hands it over, "here ya go"
"thanks"
few other people get similar cups
glasses are raised to a simple toast
eyes started watering as the glass got closer to my mouth
purposely didnt sniff it before drinking it, but that didnt keep my nose from burning
that made my eyes sting and water more
fought off my second thoughts with a final thought of "well.... fuck it"
tossed it back and gulped..... HOLY FUCK IT TASTES LIKE BURNING
gag a few times
eyes watering like i just got maced
cough a few more times trying to catch my breath
full body shake "god damn!!"
everybody in the room is laughing their asses off at the "yankee boy" who "cant handle his liquor"
a friend's uncle also makes some "shine".... but he also ages it for about a year in charred oak barrels... so it ends up more of a ridiculously strong whiskey (160something proof)... it still burns like hell but its a lot more pleasant than that clear shit was...
by the second or third glass your nervous system has shut down for the most part and it starts to taste really good... its about then that you start to realize that its 120 degrees in the house and you cant remember where your legs are
good times
