Pass-phrase: “The Ruppert soars at dawn.”
How long before someone shambles in saying, “I know it’s something about Ruppert’s fly…”

Personally, I think the pass-phrase should be: “Shalom, Gentlemen”. Maybe for the shindig on the Right Coast…

Does one have to be a drinky drinker to join in? I used to drink oceans of drinky drinks, but quit for good the week that Reagan got elected to his second term (which made the whole Reagan thing seem a lot worse). I get to be the drivey driver now.

I can see the real thing out of my front window, and it’s not as exciting as you’d think – on the other hand, the beer will probably be cheaper.
gbear said,

Dan Someone wanted to go to a SCon too and he’s in Chicago. I’m in St. Paul, MN
I’m going to guess that, unlike MileHi’s situation, no one will be coming here to attend the RNC. I’ll probably be able to catch a wiff of the teargas clouds at my place. My office is across the street from the county jail so I’m just going to take that week off and try to make our guests feel not-so-welcome.

I’m in Des Moines (Iowa) and would love to attend a Midwest Sadlython! Anywhere within a six hour drive would probably work for me.
MileHi, if we have one you should come. It would be a trip down memory lane! (Yeah, I know that ain’t always a good thang.)

The fact is, alcoholism among liberals is typical. In the heartland, those whith better moral and family values abstain or use in moderation. Most drunks I have known were liberal far left types. You all fit the bill.

Shouldn’t someone alert the World Wildlife Fund about Rugged’s lamentable habit of eating pelican?
The only time I EVER eat pelican is as fresh roadkill or when I stumble on the results of the many badger-pelican confrontations we have out here in the woods. Both of them use the same kind of burrow and neither of them is very bright, leading to confusion over who lives where. You’d think that the badgers would be the consistent hands-down winners of these confrontations but pelicans are really quite wily fighters and lightning quick in their beak jabbing. Many a dim-witted badger has tried to enter what it assumes to be it’s underground den, only to be seized by a protective mother pelican in a manner quite reminiscent of a moray eel! The ferocity of pelicans is widely respected here and we know well enough to steer clear of their subterranean lairs (you sure wouldn’t want to be walking along and suddenly find your ankle in a pelican burrow, like “Pegleg” Wilson, a local Butte legend, once did).
MileHi Hawkeye said,

Perhaps I would, Candy. If for no other reason, so I could encase WordPress in concrete and throw it into the Raccoon River. I’m sure the carp and catfish would love to feast on it.

It’ll be the same old liberal decadence when the Sadly, No! vulgar jokers get together in a slum of depravity and drink beer Friday night. This pathetic excuse for a good time digusts average Americans, by the Sadly, No! cronies still get rave reviews from the chuckling critics who think liberal excesses are the way, honest true average America be darned. You’d think that gross-out kings like the Sadly, No! crew would be ashamed of their freakishness, but you’d be wrong.

One has to ask- Will this Sadly, No! party be a get-together for radical Marxists? Or America-hating leftists? Or Black Liberation activists? What exact plan to destroy America will they be discussing?

Walter Williams said,
April 18, 2008 at 23:08
For all the crying about how great the Sadly, No! party is going to be, no one’s taken into account simple economics:
If I pay Farmer Bob $1 for an apple, and then sell it to my neighbor for $2, and then sell all his assets to the Chinese and discuss the relative benefits of slavery to my class and then make sure that ethnic profiling is in tact all while decreasing wages as much as possible, the economy works!

Ed. note: The Sadly, No! party will not be taking place in Bumblefuck, Nebraska. It will be taking place in Chicago.

If I was going to get livid and horrified about something besides the Sadly No party it would be that a great university sucks so many young women into the into the intellectual graveyard of Women’s Studies. Think what these women could be studying instead of this endlessly recycled drivel.

Gary Ruppert is Clliff may
“:There They Go Again [Cliff May]
Not for the first time, major media organizations are misrepresenting al-Qaeda in Iraq, calling it a “homegrown” insurgent group and quoting someone who does not exist as its “Iraqi leader.”
The fact is al-Qaeda in Iraq was established by foreign terrorists closely tied to al-Qaeda leaders believed to be living in the Frontier Provinces of Pakistan. The first leader of AQ in Iraq was Abu Musab al Zarqawi, a Jordanian by birth. His successor, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, is in an Egyptian.”

That the obvious parallels between the Nazis, who like to gather in beer halls and drink beer, and the liberals who not only do that but also wear many clothes of the same color as some of the early socialists who became the Nazis only serves to strengthen my point. Which is not to compare liberals to fascists but no one before me has seen this parallel.

For G*ds sake, stay inside after dark!! Those creatures live off of the blood they suck from their nocturnal victims (thus, the oversized blood pouch hanging beneath their beak). They are as close to an actual vampire you’re ever gonna run into, so stay clear and keep in well lighted places if you have to go out after sunset.

Hmmm. Not much of an after action report. Sounds like a couple folks showed up, had a drink and bailed. Not what I would have expected. But then again, ultimately, it’s a bunch of people who’ve never actually met each other, so perhaps it’s a little tough to get a party started. The primary shared experiences here are Bush Derangement Syndrome and poop jokes.
Hopefully there’ll be another one, and I’ll be able to attend.
On the other hand, the birthday party I went to was a lot of fun…
