Hello all.

So, today, it turns out, is Tuesday not Monday. Three day weekends always throw me off.

Come out to the Publick House tonight around 7:15 or so for a drink.

Hope to see you all!

Good morning, peoples.

I apologize for my slackness and completely forgetting to send an email last night. I am admittedly behind on pretty much all of life right now.

I feel like I should take time here to say some things about how ridiculous Glenn Beck is and his rally in D.C. Saturday was, but I am trying my best to not devote any more time and attention to that man than necessary. For a good read, not just on that but on the "Tea Party" in general, I highly recommend Frank Rich's op-ed in Saturday's NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/29/opinion/29rich.html?_r=1&src=me&ref=homepage) as it provided some interesting information (some of which I did not already know) about the billionaires bankrolling the movement.

One thing I can say for those Tea Partiers though is that they're very involved, and I encourage you to get involved, too. As election time nears (can November really only be a few months away?), the candidate(s) of your choice and the party office of your choice could probably really use your help. Now, I'm not saying you have to be a Democrat to be a Drinking Liberally member, heck, we've been known to have a few fabulous Libertarian types amongst us, but since most of us are, I am just going to go ahead and give a shout-out to the SC Democratic Party since they're the ones I personally receive email from. They've had lots of volunteer opportunities as of late. Give them a call if you're interested, 803-799-7798, or visit their website, http://www.scdp.org/. (Disclaimer: Drinking Liberally does not endorse any candidate, party, etc., and that you should contact the SCDP to volunteer if you've got some free time and/or any interest is strictly my opinion not that of Drinking Liberally.)

Hope to see you all tonight at the Cellar on Greene! Not only do they give us $1 off beer, they've generally got some great specials. I am particularly fond of the bubbly specials and the ability to get it by the glass.

Good evening.

As some of you know, our beloved Candice and Brandon and leaving us for D.C. where Brandon is going to be doing all sorts of super cool math stuff. Columbia's loss and D.C.'s gain. I sure am going to miss them, and I know you will, too, so come out to the Publick House tomorrow to send them off Drinking Liberally Columbia style.

And, if you don't know Candice and Brandon, you should come on out anyway. You don't want to miss the chance to meet them, and, of course, we'll need a replacement for them next week. Haha. I kid. I kid. They cannot be replaced. Seriously, folks, come out and say "hi." We'll be in the pool room, and we can talk smack about why Nikki Haley finally released her email records but would not give the press access to her hard drive (Will Folks emails hiding in there maybe???) nor would she let anyone take hard copies with them... and the fact that there seemed to be only a very small number of emails actually concerning SC House business according to reports. I do so love talking smack.

Sorry guys. I fell asleep way too early and not on purpose last night without doing the DL email.

Come on out to the Publick House tonight! We'll be in the pool room as always.

Good evening, Columbia folks!

So much seems to be happening lately, and two biggies worth celebrating (hopefully) are that California's Proposition 8 was overturned and that Elena Kagan was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States taking us one step towards gender parity. Of course, the Prop 8 decision is already being appealed and Kagan must now prove herself, but I am going to choose to be hopeful on both accounts.

Come on out tomorrow and let us know what in this country is giving you the warm fuzzies right now or talk about anything else under the sun over a beer or two (or just come share your thoughts on Sunday's episode of "True Blood" with me if you're equally addicted to that crazy vampire soap because I've got things to say about that, too).

Hope to see you there!
