REMEMBER ATLANTIS! (Remember the Maine)
· “Remember the Maine” was a battle cry that started the Spanish-American War, essentially an accidental detonation of below-deck coal
o Beginning of Yellow Journalism
o Fabricated as an attack on the US by jingoists like Teddy Roosevelt, William Randolph Hearst, and Joseph Pulitzer. It was the 19th century equivalent of the Gulf of Tonkin event (Started the Vietnam War) and Iraq WMD claims.
· Pg. 116
· “Treat this one with the respect it deserves, gentlemen!”
o Take a tall bar glass and toss in 3 lumps of ice
o Onto this foundation donate the following in the order given:
§ 1 jigger of good rye whiskey
§ ½ jigger of Italian vermouth
§ 1-2 tsp of cherry brandy
§ ½ tsp of absinthe or Pernod Veritas
o Stir briskly in a clockwise fashion—this makes it sea-going, presumably
o Add a twist of lime or lemon
