Drinking Liberally — Seattle

by Darryl — Tuesday, 6/14/11, 5:40 pm

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally meets tonight, and there are a few topics likely to be raised over a pint: The Washington state gubernatorial race, Ron Sims’ return to Seattle (running for Gov?), the tunnel-ish vote, last night’s Republican debate, today’s Wisconsin Supreme Court decision, and today’s Prop. 8 ruling in California.

So please join us tonight for drinks, conversation, and even dinner at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. Starting time is 8:00 pm, but a few folks show up around 7:00 pm for dinner.



Can’t make it? Drinking Liberally—Tacoma meets on Thursday, June 16th, 7:00pm at the Hub Restaurant.

Special Event:

Next week, our meeting will be moved from Tuesday to Wednesday (June 22) for a special Drinking Liberally with Living Liberally co-founder Justin Krebs.

Justin is on his “538 Ways to Live, Work and Play Like a Liberal” book tour.

Bring your copy of the book for Justin to sign. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event. We’ll meet at the usual spot.

    Reuters) – Above-average temperatures were hitting across the southern United States on Tuesday, with drought-parched west Texas and north Florida bearing the brunt of the heat.

    A high of 110 degrees is forecast for Midland, Texas on Tuesday, shattering the city’s daily record of 105 degrees set in 1945, said Victor Murphy, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Fort Worth.

    Florida’s capital city of Tallahassee is expected to reach 102 degrees, breaking the previous record of 99 degrees, Murphy said.

    Southern parts of Georgia and Alabama will also top the century mark.

    The average temperature this time of year in Dothan, Alabama is 90 degrees, Murphy said. But Tuesday, the city is forecast to set a new daily record high of 103 degrees.

    Oh lookie here… Obummer is back at Wall Street.

    President Obama convened two dozen Wall Street executives, many of them longtime donors, in the White House’s Blue Room.

    Butt butt butt the moronic of the most leftwing moronic libtardo HA bullshit loser artists told all here on HA Wall Street was in the hip pocket of Republicans. Funniest commetary from a DUMMOCRAPT Wall Street Jockstrapper…

    “The first goal was to get recognition that the administration has led the economy from an unimaginably difficult place to where we are today,” said Blair W. Effron, an investment banker closely involved in Mr. Obama’s fund-raising efforts. “Now the second goal is to turn that into support.”

    Butt now we see from the WH Presser this “meeting” wasn’t on Obummer’s public published schedule. Now why is Obummer hiding this information? Also we’ve been told by the most virulent and most idiotic here that rich Republicans don’t pay their fair fare. Well it seems many of these rich are rich DUMMOCRAPTS. And they don’t care to pay their fair fare either.

    Don’t bring up Wall Street and Republicans again. Even the NY Times knows the real truth! So much for that “open” sadministration full of transparency!

    BTW HA leftist dipshit loons… this meeting took place at the whitey house. Fund raising at da whitey house by DUMMOCRAPTS. Well we know Clinton showed Obummer how it was done!

    So you like “too big to fail“? This guy has it right! The Fed Reserve and Fannie MAE-Freddie MAC are the problems not addressed in the bill. That’s what McConnell & DeMint were talking about! Another job killing bill poorly written.

    ndustry executives, including mortgage bankers, real estate agents and builders, have said they’re concerned that a decline in lending may hurt housing and the economic recovery.

    Because Fannie and Freddie were exempt they continue to suck the oxygen from Obummer and the recovery. This is what Ludwig von Mises discussed about government easy money.

    Wall Street and

    Republicans:

    Contribution trends toward Republicans is particularly pronounced in the securities and investment industry, the Center finds.

    During March 2009, people and PACs associated with this industry directed 70 percent of their federal-level contributions to Democratic candidates, party committees and leadership PACs.

    By June, such numbers had practically flipped, with preliminary figures indicating Republican interests had received 68 percent of all federal-level contributions from this industry.

    Individuals associated with these industries, such as company executives and middle managers, are the primary drivers of a Republican campaign donation shift, the Center’s research indicates.

    Wall Street and

    Republicans:

    In general, congressional Republicans and Wall Street couldn’t be much closer. Financial industry lobbyists keep GOP leaders’ cell-phone numbers on speed dial, and Wall Street has grown to hate President Obama and his team with “an almost irrational passion,” as bankers and their lobbyists regard the administration “with a disdain so thick it often blurs to naked loathing.”

    What’s more, it was the Republican Party that huddled with hedge fund managers and industry lobbyists to try to kill Wall Street reform, and later offered to trade campaign contributions for weaker layers of accountability.

    Wall Street and

    Republicans:

    As the head of a $17 billion hedge fund, Mr. Singer, a self-described Barry Goldwater conservative who is 66, is using his financial might to try to change those policies. He has become one of the biggest bankrollers of Republican causes, giving more than $4 million of his money and raising millions more through fund-raisers he hosts for like-minded candidates who often share his distaste for what they view as governmental over-meddling in the financial industry.

    Wall Street and

    Republicans:

    The same day in June that the House gave final approval to the sweeping overhaul of financial regulations, Mr. Singer had a fund-raiser at his Central Park West apartment, netting more than $1 million for seven Republican Senate candidates who had opposed the bill.

    The latter shows he’s clearly fixated on penises, and therefore Barney Frank’s sexuality, which involves two penises, is utterly fascinating to him. He does seem a hater, and that often, among Republicans, correlates with, um, a ‘wide stance’. Perhaps we should encourage him to embrace his true self, to come out, and that we’re all ready to embrace him for who he really is – and at that point so much of the bilious hateful troll spooge on these threads would magically evaporate.
