from The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast · host Charles C. W. Cooke, Vic Matus
It's Friday, and it's 5 o'clock somewhere. That means it's time for episode 16 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, in which Charles addresses everyone's favorite topic—how we can address our deficits and national debt, and why, despite their protestations, the Republicans aren't serious about doing so—and then chats with Vic Matus about his book on the history of Vodka in the United States, and, in particular, how a grain alcohol “without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color” became the most popular hard liquor in America.The dial-up tone in the introduction was recorded by lintphishx and is used under a CC 3.0 License.

What this episode covers
In this just-under-the-wire episode, Charles starts by talking about the Republicans' doublespeak on the debt: they insist that they want to balance the budget, but they don't want to touch any of the programs that are necessary to do so. Then, in the spirit of the hour, he talks to Vic Matus about his book 'Vodka: How a Colorless, Odorless, Flavorless Spirit Conquered America.'
