Well we have a new president who will undo some of the damage done by 8 years of Bushco. Could he please take office now so he can get started? Who knows what damage these morons can still do before they leave! And why isn't Joe Lieberman being stripped of his committee assignments. Feh!

While the country has moved forwards, Arizona has moved backwards. Arizona reelected Sheriff Joke A-Piehole and Candy Thomas and sent even more reactionaries to the state legislature. Most of the few remaining Republican moderates in the state leg were sent packing and crazed nativists have taken their place. Dems lost seats in the state leg too, only question is how many. Carolyn Allen of Scottsdale claims to be the last Republican moderate left. I believe she is correct. If our Janet Napolitano decides to take a cabinet position with the Obama admin and Jan Brewer becomes our new governor, we are so screwed. A right wing wacko as guv with the wacks controlling both houses, what could possibly go wrong? If you leave now Janet, we'll never forgive you.

What the hell is wrong with this state anyway?!!! I need a drink. Come join me at Rosie McCaffrey's, 906 E. Camelback in Phoenix tomorrow. We'll start early at 6pm this time.

Yes, it's that time again. The Other Thursday. Time for Drinking Liberally Phoenix, tomorrow from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at:

Rosie McCaffrey's
906 E. Camelback
Phoenix, AZ

Come join us for a beverage. Can you believe McSame might actually lose his home state? Now that would be an occasion for a drink! Anyone catch Obama's 1/2 hour prime-time message tonight? Wow! I'd say he hit a home run. Wouldn't it be something to have a president who was actually inspiring for a change? I hear this country once had those.

The final Debate Watch Party will be held this evening Wednesday, October 15th at 5:30pm at El Penasco Restaurant, 19 E. Broadway in Tempe (SE corner of Broadway and Mill). Come join us for buzzword bingo, beer and blather. Much thanks to Linna from Tempe Drinking Liberally and Toby from PDA Phoenix for setting these events up.

Our regularly scheduled Phoenix Drinking Liberally will still occur tomorrow Thursday, October 16th at Rosie McCaffrey's in Phoenix starting at 6:30pm. Let's get together and talk about the debate or anything else you might have on your mind in this critical election year.

My friends,

With three debates now under our belts, I say it's time for a belt, doggoneit. Can I call you Joe? What? Your name isn't Joe? Oh, you're THAT ONE.

Join us this Thursday, October the 8th, for some beer and blather at Rosie McCaffrey's in Phoenix (906 E. Camelback Rd., North side of Camelback east of 7th St.)

Bless yer hearts,

John Gallagher

Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm not a man of wealth and I've been told that I don't have very good taste either. I will, however, be taking over hosting the Phoenix Drinking Liberally Chapter from Stuart Dollar who has more pressing matters that he must deal with. My name is John Gallagher and I will be your humble host for Phx DL starting next week.

At any rate, I'd like to invite you to join our friends from the Tempe Chapter of Drinking Liberally this evening, October 2nd at 6pm, for a Debate Watch Party at El Penasco Restaurant, 19 E. Broadway in Tempe (SE corner of Broadway and Mill). We will be playing buzzword bingo and Palin v. Biden should be a real yuck fest(in both meanings of the word).

The Phoenix Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every other Thursday at Rosie McCaffreys, 906 E. Camelback in Phoenix, so we will be meeting NEXT Thursday, October 9th. Since I don't get off work as early as Stu, I've had to move the starting time to 7pm from 5:30 pm. (You regulars are welcome to come earlier if you want, but I won't be there before 6:30 at the earliest.)

Hope to see you soon,

John Gallagher
