New Holiday Drink: The 'Dirty Pol'





Plainfielders who know anything about Chicago know that it is a hard-drinking town.

Just think of Studs Terkel and Mike Royko.

So, it is hardly any wonder amid the state's Blagojevich scandal that a Chi-town mixologist has come up with a new, and appropriately named, drink: the 'Dirty Governor' cocktail (get the recipe here).

I don't think Illinoisans have any kind of a lock on transactional politics. Some may even think we have local experience of same.

At any rate, I propose New Jerseyans take the new drink to their hearts, or maybe just to their lips, and rebaptize it the 'Dirty Pol'.

That could fit any office or officeholder you may think deserves it, from the Statehouse down to the local political club.

Here's mud in your eye!

How apropo! Pour yourself a big martini glass of Dirty Pol and start reading the new Plainfield blog for a look at where we are going and where we have been, with a touch of humor!
