Such a development would allow them to get their wines to market quicker...
...July, actor-director Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving, but really shot himself in the foot when he decided to launch into a frothing anti-Semitic tirade. A dubiously contrite Gibson later explained that, in a state of drunken fury, he had said things he did not believe to be true and which he found “despicable.” There was already some evidence of Gibson’s anti-Semitism, from his equivocations about the Holocaust to his pornographically violent film, “The Passion of the Christ,” which depicts...
