Slippery Nipple

A Slippery Nipple is a cocktail.  Here is one description:  The Slippery Nipple is a layered cocktail shooter most commonly composed of Baileys Irish Cream and Sambuca. When prepared properly, the ingredients remain in two distinct visible layers due to the relative densities of the ingredients.   Afterall, even diversity among forms of alcohol can appear “multicultural.” 

Here is one source for how to make a Slippery Nipple along with some variation:  Slippery Nipple Cocktail Recipe - Cocktails With Class.  A Slippery Nipple is very tasty; but I still prefer a Manhattan—a sipping drink for those who are philosophically inclined.   

Why does how to make a slippery nipple matter?  Most good bar tenders know how to make one.  Expertise matters, even in such simple areas as making a Slippery Nipple.

I suspect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes (AOC), a bar tender after graduating from Boston University (majoring in international relations and economics), knows how to make a Slippery Nipple.  Now, she is a second term U.S. Representative, representing New York’s 14th Congressional District.

Somehow AOC has acquired expertise in “green” energy and a wide range of social issues.  She somehow has discovered the benefits of socialism.  This may have manifested before or because of campaigning for Bernie Sanders.  So, she benefits from followers who believe there is a free lunch, and they vote for her.  Most of her followers likely have no idea what happened to Venezuela—a thriving capitalist nation killed by socialism.  This is not unusual or unprecedented.  Rod Dreher captures this naivete among citizens who previously lived in totalitarian regimes in his book, Live Not by Lies:  A Manual for Christian Dissidents

AOC has had no children—from bringing them into this world and raising them.  Yet, she rails about Texas’s recent legislation on abortion.  Less than 1% of abortions stem from rape or incest (see my article about The Logic of Abortion).  About 99% of pregnancies stem from consensual sex.  Pregnancy manifests based on natural law and human choice; it is not an indiscriminate airborne disease. 

Expertise matters.  AOC:  Stick to slippery nipples.
