We'll be back at JD's Steakhouse in Litchfield for Drinking Liberally.

Actually, you'll be there. Dean and I are on vacation and won't be able to make it.

Have a nice time, bring your food for Baskervill food pantry and don't forget to mark your calendars for next week when we'll have a special guest.

Preston Brittain who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congressional District 7 will be our guest.

Until then, Cheers!

For those of you who remember our early days at Quigleys, I'm forwarding this message from Marty Richmond:

Dear Friends. Yesterday at 4 pm, my husband Mike died. The family is all here and we will have a party Friday night to celebrate his life. Lift a glass if you choose. He was the kindest most gentle man i have ever known and I loved him so. There was no pain. I will be ok.

We will raise a glass in his honor tonight. I will also have a card for us to sign.

And even greater when you find fellow liberals! Who knew there were so many liberals right here in Pawleys Island and who knows how many others might be out there hiding in the shadows....

But we are here and we will be at JD's Steakhouse in Litchfield on Thursday starting at 6pm.

A big welcome to our new folks and those we hadn't seen in a while.

As a reminder, we collect food every week for the Baskervill Food pantry. So when you're out grocery shopping, pick up a little extra and bring it with you.

Did anyone go to the Galivant's Ferry Stump on Monday? Love to hear stories if you did. (I for one completely forgot).

Look forward to seeing you Thursday!

p.s. We're on facebook, ya' know!

Wonderful turnout last night and thanks to all who stayed for dinner. I counted 27 people!!

Welcome to our new folks and some folks I "guilted" into coming back. (knew that Catholic upbringing would come in handy).

I wanted to pass along an email message I received from one of our new members, Arlene Scardaville, that's worth reading:

FOR ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE PRESIDENT OBAMA,

LET'S GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!!

Now, since Obama's regime, all of a sudden, folks have gotten mad, and want to take America Back...BACK TO WHAT/BACK TO WHERE is my question?

After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.

You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You didn't get mad when they didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the 1%, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.

You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance.

You didn't get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values.

You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick... Oh,No!

Worth forwarding on. I'll send out a reminder next week, but I wanted to thank everyone for coming out last night. You are not alone, fellow liberals!

This week at DL, let's stay for dinner at JD's afterwards. We were talking last week about the need to stay (and spend more money) since they have been good to us. If you have a coupon that came in the mail, be sure to bring that.

So, let's meet for drinks as usual on the porch starting at 6. Dinner at 6:30/7ish? I've already given them a "heads up" about this, but I do need you to RSVP.

Let me know if you will be staying for dinner. I don't need you to RSVP if you won't, only if you will.

Please don't forget your food for Baskervill and mark your calendars for May 24th when we'll have a special guest!

Look forward to seeing you Thursday and don't forget to let me know if you will be staying for dinner.

Cheers,

Rita

p.s. Goffinet - send me the info you asked me to pass along again. Lost my email when computer went boom. (Jim - stop laughing)
