Join us tonight for an evening of politics under the influence at the Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally. We meet at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. beginning at about 8:00 pm. Stop by even earlier and enjoy some dinner.
Not in Seattle? There is a good chance you live near one of the 352 other chapters of Drinking Liberally.
Ah, Goldy’s poor little bald head explodes….drink up tonight! :)

Given the amount of rightwing violence being fomented across the country, it might be a good idea to pile sandbags around the Montlake Ale House just in case.
Roger – any advice on penny stocks?
@3 Don’t buy them.
Why not? Friday I bought 40,000 shares for $700 and two days later I have $1800. Can the stock pan out to be anything more than a penny stock?
Monckton has been mentioned 3 times in the HA comment threads.
Once by a fella named rob who also references Free Republic in the same comment.
And gee, guess who was responsible for the other two mentions?
Not too hard if you’ve hung out here a while…
The first of many more to come:
7,
Huh. I thought there was an outgoing tide with regard to Democrats. What happened here?
7, 8 — Yeah, the first election for a congressional seat since HCR was passed and a Democrat crushed a Republican who ran on an anti-HCR platform. Who woulda thought?
7, 9
How much media attention do you think this race will get tomorrow? My bet is that some Teabagger gathering of about 14 people in East Bumfuck, Oklahoma will get more press.
Lord Monckton can kiss Puddy’s ass.
Sea Shepherds Cut Japanese Whale Harvest By 50%
Commercial whaling is illegal throughout the world. But that doesn’t stop Japanese whalers from killing nearly 1,000 whales a year — in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary of all places — in the name of “scientific research.” That pretense is bullshit; the whale meat ends up in grocery stores and restaurants in Japan, not in labs.
The Australian government has responsibility for enforcing the laws in the seas where most of this whaling takes place, but they’ve been reluctant to send warships to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet, because they don’t want to jeopardize their trade with Japan. Australia is a major seller of wheat, coal, bauxite, and other resource products in the Far East.
So, it has fallen to Washington state-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to protect the whales from the blatantly commercial Japanese whaling. This year, SSCS saved 528 whales and cut the Japanese whaling fleet’s kill in half, to a little over 500 dead whales. Bravo for the Sea Shepherds! I send them a donation earlier this year, and will continue supporting this group.
Our planet-hating, environment-raping, money-grubbing wingnut friends don’t like the Sea Shepherds, of course. They, like the Japs, call them “terrorists.” That’s bass-ackwards — the Sea Shepherds are cops, and the whalers are the bad buys.
The Sea Shepherd group is, in my opinion, worthy of your financial and moral support. They’re helping save the planet from human predators, one whale at a time. And as a rabbit, the whales are my friends.

Milking That Cow For All She’s Worth Dep’t
Some students retrieved a California college’s speaking contract with Sarah Palin from a trash bin and here’s what they learned:
“When Sarah Palin delivers a speech this summer in California, audience questions will be pre-screened, her water bottles will have bendable straws and she’ll get three rooms at a luxury hotel …. [Palin] will get first-class plane tickets [but if] she doesn’t fly commercial, ‘the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger,’ according to the contract ….”
A state senator requested a copy of the contract but university officials refused to disclose it, citing a nondisclosure agreement. Now that its contents have been disclosed, the senator is requesting an investigation of whether the university officials violated California’s public records law.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: When Lincoln went to Gettysburg, all he got was a horse-drawn buggy and a folding chair on a crude wood platform. But then, Lincoln was Lincoln, and Palin is Palin.
@ 13 Funny you bring that up RR.
This was a long watch of 37 minute Press Conference, but it sure explains WHY the two Senators (that were denied info, even after having to resort to FOI Act) are going after this. Great show! Might have gone unnoticed, EXCEPT the shredding was going during “Furlough Friday”.
Some political science students discovered that on “Furlough Friday” when University staff was taking mandatory furloughs, paperwork shredding was going on. Same day about 5 students dug through the dumpsters and hauled out all the papers.
Discovered parts of the Sarah Palin speaking contract, travel arrangements, (unshredded) etc, which were mingled with other documents from the University. Info that had been previously denied to these two Senators via Freedom of Information Act as to how much Mrs. Palin was being paid by the University – then part of the shredding two days later. Appears that they are turning over to the California Attorney General for investigation.

Michael@7:
Puddy was in PBC last week. They are NY NJ and Conn Moonbat!s. This is Theresa LaPore country… Hanging Chads. They vote DUMMOCRAPT all the time. Nothing new here!
Another stupid generalization from THE DUMB BUNNY! Many conservatives are against whale hunting THE DUMB BUNNY.
Did Paul Watson fake getting shot again this year?
They got their idea from HA Leftist comments.
A place for ylb arschloch to visit for his left eye viewing pleasure
Re screen name @15: Possibly you would have fun skewering “libtardos” if you ever skewered one, but you’re too stupid to realize you’ve stuck that skewer through yourself.
@18 If they emulated you, they would have dressed as lemmings.
@16 “Many conservatives are against whale hunting THE DUMB BUNNY.”
If so, how come nobody’s ever found one?
@17 Not so far as I know, but the whalers spouted fake scientific pretensions again this year.
@15
Funny, when a Republican leaning state elects a Republican leaning Governor its a win for the Republican’s, but when a Democratic leaning district elects a Democrat it’s “nothing new.”
Duh. From the article I linked too:
But, I did find it interesting that someone that was running on the anger against Democrats got zero traction what so ever.
Republican leaning state? What crack you smoking?
Regarding PBC, when Puddy was there 1.5 weeks ago, my bro-in-law (also black, retired lawyer) and Puddy went bike riding around PBC. We noticed the stares of peeps in their “progressive lily-white gated communities”… Since most of these “progressive lily-white gated communities” are occupied by north-east Moonbat!s we knew what it meant. Many of these DUMMOCRAPTS are the same types who couldn’t figger out a voters selection sheet back in 2000.
BTW my bro-in-law lives in a non-progressive gated community, where many hues and colors live. He purposely selected that one because of the diversity.
@22,
You don’t even get the comment. Maybe proud goatist can help you fool!
Wow, if Bush did this there would be fire and brimstone on the whackamole blog pages (including this one) and it would be the lead story on the nightly news casts
Looks like that Great Australian Health Care System isn’t so great after all…
Oh so this is why Stupes is shovelin’ the love to Murdoch..
Murdoch is a panderer. He believes in giving the customer what they want!
And yes Stupes is a big time customer!
Come out right wingers!
Come out!
3. gman spews: “Roger – any advice on penny stocks?”
Penny stocks? Patience, gman. Wait for the next crash. As with this last crash, you find plenty of good companies selling as penny stocks. This last crash you could have bought Sanmina-Sci for 18 cents, pre-reverse split. Unisys was available at 37 cents, pre-reverse split. Look what companies like Hertz and Avis did, for Heaven’s sake. Heck, Humane Genome Sciences was at 35 cents. That one’s a $30 stock now. Let’s see, that’s 2800 shares of HGSI you could have picked up for your $700. How does an $83,300 profit on a $700 investment sound to you?
Whatever you do, don’t listen to the KLOWN. For some strange reason he buys high and sells low – not a very good investment strategy, IMHO.
I kid you, gman. I never offer investment advise. Well, I’ll offer just this one. Believe in America. When everyone’s shitting bricks and have lost faith in America’s economic engine, that’s your buy signal.
@28 One medical mistake and that’s an indictment of the entire Australian health care system? Then I take it that 195,000 deaths per year due to medical error in our own country only serves to condemn in every way imaginable the entire health care system we presently have. And you want tort reform to limit damages?? I pray you don’t rue the day you wished for that one.
Poop power!
