If you ever find yourself in a Kansas City Hilton while the president is giving his state of the union address, Mimo makes one hell of a negroni. We didn’t stick around for the republican rebuttal; there were enough halfwits shouting their opinions from the cheap seats in Washington to confirm that our commander and chief has not conquered the divisive nature of our national discourse. He pandered to his base and they undoubtedly pandered to theirs, but somewhere in between there was a glimmer of hope that the republic may actually survive its current geriatric test of wills.
