Hey folks. I'm busy trying to adjust to a new schedule, so no snark this week.

However, we will be meeting tomorrow night at the usual time and place for a few cold ones, and to contemplate whether any of those "tubes" will run to Ted Stevens' future cell in a Federal penitentiary.

Or, to borrow from Philip K Dick:
Do Imprisoned Randroids Dream of Wifi Sheep??

See you tomorrow night.

I've been away for a few weeks, and what do I find? Cigarette butts ground into the carpet, empty bottles everywhere, and somebody passed out in the guest bathroom.

More importantly though, I see the irony meter is redlined.

Jesse Helms died. In an effort not to speak ill of the dead (even when they wholeheartedly deserve it), I won't speak on it. I will, however, express my utter disappointment at the fact that we don't have the prospect of watching him suffer through the possible inauguration of a black man as President.

Speaking of Jesse Helms, I see Elizabeth Dole, who is currently in danger of losing her Senate seat, is looking to have an AIDS relief bill named after him. See what I mean about having the irony meter redlined?

I'll just say this. Having an AIDS bill named after Jesse Helms is like having a civil rights bill named after David Duke.

In the last few days, John McCain has misidentified, four times, the Czech Republic, or Slovakia (who knows which) as Czechoslovakia, a country which ceased to exist in 1993. I guess we should feel fortunate he doesn't think it's part of Germany (1938-45), or the Austro-Hungarian Empire (to 1918).

Anyway, it's high time we did the Drinking Liberally thing.

Join us tomorrow night, Thursday, July 17, from 5:30 PM onward, as we celebrate the fact that John McCain isn't in a position to veto every beer.

Howdy folks.

The title says it all. We will not be doing a Drinking Liberally on Thursday.

We will meet on July 17, 2008 as planned.

Thanks,
Stu
