[A]: CNN reporter Arwa Damon is known for venturing into war zones, but she may now be better known for her sharp teeth. Two EMTs at the US embassy in Baghdad, Tracy Lamar and Charles Simons, say in a $2 million lawsuit filed yesterday that a " seriously intoxicated" Damon bit them while they were treating her July 19, reports the New York Post. Embassy staff called the EMTs to pacify an "out of control" Damon, who had no authority to be on embassy grounds, adds the New York Daily News. Damon reportedly threatened the pair, and named-dropped herself as a "major reporter for CNN." The suit accuses CNN of continuing to employ Damon even though she’s reportedly abusive—and has a "penchant for violence even when sober," adds the Post. Damon has already apologized to embassy staff via email, which Gawker notes "begins like so many sorry-I-was-drunk-and-don't-remember-anything notes. 'Hey,' she writes. Hey." In it, Damon blames her "disastrous behavior" on a lack of "proper food all day. I clearly miscalculated how my body would handle the alcohol consumed. Needless to say, I am utterly mortified and take full responsibility for my actions, which are inexcusable." The EMTs' lawyer is already calling the email "Exhibit 1" in the suit.

 A decade of strong growth in Scotch whisky exports came to an end last year as overseas sales fell, according to new figures. 
  
 The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said HM Revenue and Customs data showed exports fell 7% to £3.95bn in 2014. 
  
 The decline was in part due to a sharp drop in exports to the USA, the biggest market for Scotch by value, where sales fell by 9% to £748m. 
  
 The volume of global exports also fell by 3%, to 1.19 billion 70cl bottles. 
  
 SWA blamed the decline on "weaker economic conditions and political volatility" in some markets. 
  
 But it remained upbeat about the future, arguing that the long-term outlook for the sector was good with underlying strong growth in most emerging markets. 
  
 In Asia, Taiwan saw exports jump 36% to £197m, partly as a result of the growing popularity of single malts. 
  
 Exports to India were up 29% to £89m, despite a 150% import tariff. 
  
 Top six Scotch whisky export markets by value - 2014 
  
 1. USA £750m (-9%) 
  
 2. France £445m (+2%) 
  
 3. Singapore £201m (-39%) 
  
 4. Taiwan £197m (+36%) 
  
 5. Spain £166m (-8%) 
  
 6. Germany £141m (-18%) 
  
 But there was a mixed picture in emerging markets. Exports by volume to Mexico grew 5% to 42.8 million bottles, while value fell by 10% in that market. 
  
 There was a similar trend in Brazil, with volumes flat but value down 20%. 
  
 The important hub market of the United Arab Emirates continued to boom, with exports up 27% by value. 
  
 However, exports to the major regional hub of Singapore fell by 39% in value to £200m. 
  
 SWA said this was partly down to the ongoing austerity campaign in China - the final destination for much of the Scotch shipped from the UK to Singapore. 
  
 Direct exports to China, the 26th largest market by value, fell 23% to £39m.

 SWA said the 9% fall in exports to the USA was due partly to stock adjustments and an increasingly competitive spirits market. 
  
 Exports to France, the biggest market by volume and second biggest by value, were up 2% to £445m, suggesting that the French market was stabilising after Scotch was hit by a tax increase in 2012. 
  
 One encouraging sign for the industry was that global exports appeared to perform better in the second half of last year. 
  
 SWA chief executive David Frost said: "Economic and political factors in some important markets held back Scotch whisky exports in 2014 after a decade of strong growth. 
  
 "It shows that the industry's success cannot be taken for granted and that we must continue to argue for more open markets and ambitious trade deals that tackle barriers to market access. 
  
 "The long-term fundamentals remain strong, with consumers in emerging markets wanting to buy Scotch whisky as a high-quality and authentic product with a strong reputation and clear provenance. 
  
 "This drives the strong investment in Scotch whisky production in Scotland and the significant interest in entering the sector." ||||| Bourbon distillers are kicking their Scottish rivals in the kilt. 
  
 Global exports of Scotch whisky fell 7% last year, as American drinkers continued to switch in droves to bourbon and other American whiskeys. It was the steepest drop-off in Scotch exports since 1998 and only the third annual decline in 30 years.

[A]: America's whiskey drinkers have joined the trend to buy local, which is bad news for the Scots: The latest figures show that export sales of Scotch whisky dived 7% to $5.8 billion last year, largely because of a 9% fall in sales to the US, reports the BBC. The slide in American scotch sales comes amid surging sales of American whiskeys, with bourbon and Tennessee whiskey sales up more than 7% last year, reports the Wall Street Journal. The popularity of American whiskeys—especially Jack Daniel's—is also hurting scotch sales around the world, the Journal reports, but although sales of cheaper scotches like Johnnie Walker Red Label are down, the pricier single malts are still selling pretty well. (The world's best whiskey, however, comes from Japan.)


[Q]: House Republicans praised Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the deal he cut to avoid a national default during a rare Sunday night conference call, giving first-blush approval to a plan that must still be committed to legislation and passed by both chambers of Congress. 
  
 Now comes the hard part for the four heads of congressional caucuses: Selling the fine print.

 reset Boehner touts debt deal Bachmann vows to vote 'no' Obama announces debt deal POLITICO 44 
  
 That’s the job that Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) signed up for when each gave his or her word to President Barack Obama Sunday night that the deal was in hand. 
  
 It’s complicated, multi-dimensional and full of peril for the priorities of each side — so much so that while the White House pointed to the possibility of the Bush tax cuts expiring, House Republican leaders were telling their rank and file that the deal made that scenario less likely. 
  
 It’s not “the greatest deal in the world,” Boehner told his troops. 
  
 “But it shows how much we’ve changed the terms of the debate in this town,” Boehner said on the call, according to a transcript released by the speaker’s office. “There is nothing in this framework that violates our principles. It’s all spending cuts.” 
  
 Come Monday, all eyes will be on House Republicans because they seldom jump in line without a fight. 
  
 Boehner’s lieutenants, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), applauded the speaker for pushing the president as far as he could while avoiding the economic and political calamity that could result from a default on the nation’s debt — which the Treasury Department has said will happen after Aug. 2 if the cap on the country’s borrowing authority isn’t raised. 
  
 House GOP leaders hope to have a bill on the floor on Monday, but no decision has yet been made on which chamber will consider the legislation first. 
  
 If the deal holds — and rank-and-file members of both parties in both chambers must still review the particulars — it promises to move Washington out of a crisis mode and into a deficit-reduction mindset. The agreement provides for an increase in the debt ceiling of roughly $900 billion — in two installments — followed by equivalent spending cuts over the next decade. It would also create a “supercommittee” of a dozen lawmakers charged with putting together a deficit-reduction package of $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion that can pass Congress. Short of that, automatic cuts of $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion, split between domestic and “security” programs, would automatically take effect. 
  
 “I think that we have set the tone for the discussion in the year ahead, and I think that’s important,” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) told POLITICO Sunday night. 
  
 But there will be loud voices of opposition. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a leading presidential contender, came out against the bill Sunday evening. 
  
 The right is not yet revolting. Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) said he will “wait and get clarification from the” Congressional Budget Office, “however at this time I believe this is a good plan for the American people.” 
  
 On the call, Cantor thanked Boehner, saying he did a great job and it was a big win. He also said it was a good deal for conservatives and the decades long fight to get a balanced budget amendment to the constitution passed. Boehner thanked Cantor for conceiving many of the cuts during the talks led by Vice President Joseph R. Biden, the 87-member freshman class and House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for writing his budget. ||||| Negotiators have spent three months mixing and matching potential spending cuts to accompany an increase in the debt ceiling, struggling to find the right combination that would overcome a filibuster in the Senate and to secure a majority in the unpredictable House. The trickiest issue has always been how to create an enforcement mechanism, or a trigger, to compel portions of the deal to be enacted in the future, and over the weekend Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) engaged in last-minute negotiations with Vice President Biden to produce a trigger that could lead to cuts in entitlement programs and defense spending. 
  
 “I would say we are both cautiously optimistic we will reach a conclusion soon,” Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said Sunday at noon after speaking with McConnell. 
  
 Less than an hour later, however, during a procedural vote, a group of 15 Senate Democrats crowded around one of their leaders, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), demanding to know why the framework did not include any increased revenue through tax hikes on the wealthy or the closing of corporate loopholes. The group included the Democratic caucus’s most outspoken liberals, such as Sens. Tom Harkin (Iowa), Barbara A. Mikulski (Md.) and Al Franken (Minn.). 
  
 Afterward, Sen. Carl Levin (Mich.), who was part of the huddle, said the group had “mixed” feelings toward the possible deal. “It’s not balanced, it doesn’t have revenues,” he said, disappointed that President Obama’s prior demand for “balance” was not assured. “There are a lot of people who are really withholding judgment.” 
  
 Levin said a potential deal-breaker was the trigger — which forces spending cuts across the board if a special committee cannot produce at least $1.2 trillion in cuts that win approval from the Congress. If the potential cuts to Medicare under this trigger include reductions in any benefits to the elderly, Levin said, “then you’re going to lose a lot of Democrats.” 
  
 By 5 p.m. Reid had announced his support for the plan and prepared to hold a caucus meeting to describe the package’s details. As long as the frustrations of Levin’s group do not turn into an open rebellion, most senators and top aides believe the Senate will be able to approve the massive legislation, possibly by Monday. 
  
 Even members of the Senate’s Tea Party Caucus have signaled that they would require only one 60-vote hurdle to overcome their filibuster efforts and then waive requirements for up to 30 additional hours of debate — a delay that, without acquiescence, would make it impossible to win approval in time for Tuesday’s deadline. |||||
[A]:
Not so fast. Is the debt ceiling agreement settled? Or could it still go down in flames? "We all may not be able to support it, or none us may be able to support it," Nancy Pelosi ominously told reporters yesterday ahead of today's Democratic caucus on the plan. The trick now is "selling the fine print"—the deal is "complicated, multi-dimensional and full of peril for the priorities of each side," notes Politico. Defections are expected by both liberals in the Senate and defense hawks in the House. Too many defections could scuttle the plan, notes the Washington Post. Tea Party cover girl Michele Bachmann has already come out against the plan, and liberal Dems are complaining about the plan's lack of tax increases for the wealthy and failure to close corporate loopholes. House Speaker John Boehner is confident he has enough Republican support to pass the legislation even without clear Democratic backing. Though Pelosi earlier pledged her support, Boehner has vowed he's not going to rely on the party.
