Just got word from Denver that Jan is now speaking at 5pm Central vs. 7pm.

Wow! Our congresswoman has a speaking part on the biggest night of the convention. She's scheduled to go on at 7. So, if you want to hear what she has to say we'd recommend getting to the Firehouse before then.

Look forward to seeing those of you who care to join us at the Firehouse Grill tomorrow (Thursday) night around 7.

From Dean Baker's "Beat the Press":

The Washington Post is Facing Bankruptcy

Actually, as far as I know that is not true. I just wanted to say it because the Washington Post has no qualms about printing this same lie about Social Security. The reality, according to the Congressional Budget Office is that Social Security is fully solvent until 2049 with no changes whatsoever, and even if no changes are ever made, it could always pay a far higher benefit to future retirees than what beneficiaries receive today. Unlike the Post, we correct errors at Beat the Press.

Hey all,

Most of us are going to be watching the acceptance speech of the Democratic Candidate Thursday evening together. The DPoE is hosting a gathering at the Firehouse Grill, and we're planning on crashing it. Everyone is more than welcome upstairs at 750 Chicago Ave, Evanston, IL - (847) 733-1911; It's two blocks south of Main St. on Chicago Ave.

Plan on 7ish. I actually don't know when the speech is scheduled to start.

With all that in mind, most of won't be at Prairie Moon Wednesday evening.

We hope to see you Thursday evening at the Firehouse.

Everybody,

We will be meeting tonight at the Prairie Moon at 7:00 p.m. The common table has been reserved for us, as usual.

See you there,

John

Everybody,

We will be meeting at the usual time and place, Prairie Moon at 7:00 p.m. tonight.

See you there,

John

Everybody,

Unfortunately, last week's attempt to meet outside at Nevin's Pub was not entirely successful. So, this week we return to our regular summer haunt at the Prairie Moon. We'll be meeting tonight at 7:00 p.m., probably at the common table in front.

See you there,

John
