Cognitive dissonance, but that's Christian nationalism.

ICYMI...

I mean, there was one No vote. What was the point of the mile-long chart? Just write, "All House members voted Yes, except Clay Higgins, LA Dist.3." Any reader with an IQ higher than that of a cement block will immediately have complete information on their district from that sentence.

I suspect the era of AI generated content is going to bring more such absurdity.

Kind of reminds me of authors being paid by the word...

They often come out with nonsense. It's definitely just hype at this point in time.

Penny was slow to drop on that one.

Also humorous is the notion that Scotch whiskey would be transported in a tanker ship. That'd be quite the party, somewhere. A couple shots of tanker Scotch and you won't even notice that metallic tank aftertaste anymore. 🤪

Scotch whisky. American whiskey. Whisky and Whiskey are not made the same way. Whiskey encompasses several styles and ingredients. They are different drinks.

It was just a joke.

Google seems to think it should be "Scotch whiskey" .Will the computer driven world follow Google's advice by the nose and change the accepted spelling accordingly?

(I didn't ' realize that American Whiskey existed ,assuming it was all called "bourbon" but I think I may have been mistaken there.)

BTW Southern Comfort is the only whiskey I can drink other than when used in cooking or in Irish Coffee.

All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon has requirements, like corn content, how it’s aged, what’s added. Each classification requires a minimum percentage of the characteristic grain - e.g. rye, wheat.
