Happy New Year, liberal drinkers!

Come tomorrow to Boston's Drinking Liberally to meet some left-leaners. If your resolution was to get out there and meet some progressive, fun, cute people, you should join us tomorrow! ;-)

We’ve got more to discuss than ever. We’ll cover everyone’s former BFF Bernie Madoff, Al Franken’s sort-of victory, and Israel vs. Hamas.

Also, our buddy Rod Blagojevich is on the agenda, and that story keeps getting juicier. He appointed an African-American to Obama’s seat, and apparently Harry Reid has a few opinions on the governor’s strategery.

Finally, Bill Richardson pulls out of his Commerce secretary bid amid controversy!

Hey liberal drinkers,

Join some drinkin liberals on Wednesday for the last meeting of the year.

Among many lively topics, we'll be discussing disgraced IL gov Rod Blagojevich. What is he accused of, and what will the resolution be? Is he crazy?? Is Obama implicated? Is Rahm?

Hey liberals!

Who will the O man pick for secretary of energy? Education? Labor? Interior?

And how about the governor of Illinois being arrested for trying to pull some hanky panky with the senate seat vacated by Obama?

In local news, Boston might enact a strict smoking ban that could put cigar bars out of business. Healthy choice, or limiting our civil liberties?

Come tomorrow night to fight it out...errr discuss your thoughts!

Hey liberals,

Come tomorrow to meet some fellow freedom-loving progressives over beers and burgers, salads and martinis.

We'll be discussing the lovely government bailouts, the bankruptcy of GM, and Obama's picks for his national security team, including in-it-to-win-it Hillary Clinton.

Plus, we'll discuss Obama's economic team. And who will the O Man pick for the environmental positions? And who will get the New York senate seat??
