Since it’s in Scotland, SD, does that make it Scotch?

    What? A tragedy happens near the town Scotland, the spokeswoman is named McBeth, and no one mentions Shakespeare? Sheesh.

    And yes, I know, that’s not how it’s spelled. Don’t quibble. 🙂

    There actually is a Scotland, SD. This derailment actually happened.
    Ethanol blend gasoline is a big-government farmer-welfare scam in these parts.
    Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for ethanol production, as long as the finished product is carefully stored in new, charred, white-oak barrels for nine to twelve years.
