Join Us TONIGHT at Intermezzo!

The last of this season's Presidential debates is on TV tonight. Have you considered Drinking Liberally?

There's no telling whether the event will be 90 minutes of can't-look-away TV or mostly a policy-rehash snoozer--probably the latter, but you never know. Maybe this final confrontation is the when McCain decides to shuck his kid gloves and come out swinging. Will Obama, who makes it all seem so effortless, despite the hard work, continue to win the day? Will the serene logic and imagination of his arguments carry him through till November 4th? Or will he stumble in the face of McCain's sputtering? One perceived slip-up and the media will pounce.

Argumentative fireworks, verbal fistfights, awkward asides, various jibes, gaffs, grumbles, and grimaces, strings of pointless barbs, off-camera throat-clearings, moments of absentmindedly wandering the stage, flinch-inducing addresses to "My friends": no matter who you're rooting for or what happens tonight at Hofstra, tonight's gathering--our first at Intermezzo--promises to be a blast, so swing by! In no time you'll find yourself happily immersed in a sane, singularly relaxing session of provocative political banter, current-events brouhaha, and a healthy dose of life affirming liberal carousing.

Plus, we'll have a stash of Mother Jones magazine's superlative Presidential-debate "Buzzwords and B.S." bingo scorecards, so you can play along. Hot diggity, right?!!

We can't wait to see you!
