Amerika 2018 when Bill Kristol sounds like a Dem House Republicans are increasingly behaving like legislators from the ruling party in a banana republic. And while I remain committed to trying to save the GOP, it's become awfully hard to make the case for saving GOP control of the House in 2018. https://t.co/e3UpWL9pWD — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) July 12, 2018

So Much for That Handmaid's Tale Wine Line of wines canceled after backlash By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Jul 12, 2018 2:16 PM CDT newser.com (NEWSER) – Well, that didn't take long. On Tuesday, a line of Handmaid's Tale-themed wines was announced. On Wednesday, it was canceled. Wine curator Lot18 planned to sell the three wines—two reds named after handmaids in the show, Offred and Ofglen, plus a white named after commander's wife Serena Joy—but after backlash quickly ensued, the company along with production studio MGM decided the wines weren't such a great idea after all and they've been pulled from the Lot18 website, Vulture reports. "Look," writes Halle Kiefer, it's pretty obvious that the wines were "a little off-brand for a dystopian drama about a totalitarian government forcing women to reproduce against their will."
