Your correspondent stayed moderately sober while partaking in cigars at a most excellent cigar joint.
I’ll be leaving this communist sate early in the morning, and will forward all intel to the appropriate sources.

Admit it. This slip just proves you’re at peace in the PRM.

What’s the point of communism if you don’t get sated?

John Cole +a lot
:D

Oh, I’m at least +10.

@freelancer (itouch): Only if he found a decent mojito joint. From the earlier dispatches he seems a bit beered out. I don’t think he should ever go to Deutschland, although they do have some decent wines there.

@freelancer (itouch):
He’s going to be like Teddy Kennedy in that one Orrin Hatch eulogy story:
“Orrin…what else did I agree to last night?”

From what I’ve gathered though, the entire state isn’t so communist, just the cities. Am I wrong in that?
Yutsano
@arguingwithsignposts: There’s anything outside the cities of Wisconsin besides cows? :)
Chuck Butcher
Having lived in Occonomowoc and Delafield and Waukesha WI I can tell you that there is something other than cows and commies.

@arguingwithsignposts:
Isn’t that true of about, oh, 48 of the 50 states?
Definitely true in Georgia, where it is the Atlanta-Athens “enclave” vs. the rest of the state.
And here in Virginia it’s NoVa vs. “real” Virginia. Urk.
(Somehow can’t picture, but also can’t get out of my mind either, “Honolulu vs. the rest of Hawaii,” but I”m sure someone here can straighten me out. Mahalo.)

Man, I once flew damn near cross country with a raging hangover. Not fun times.

Ah communist sate. How delightful that sounds. +10? I would be comatose. How is everyone this fine evening?
@Mark S.: You! I just read that you used to be a ‘winger. I cannot believe it! Cole, I can pictured as a reformed ‘winger, but not you.

@asiangrrlMN:
Yeah, I did quite the 180. I wasn’t that socially conservative, but I ate up that libertarian bullshit with a spoon. I wasn’t sharp enough to realize that everything I advocated benefited rich people a hell of a lot more than it benefited me.

@Mark S.: It’s funny because I never would have guessed by reading your comments. Like I said, it doesn’t surprise me about Cole and some of the other reformed-rightwingers around these parts, but it came totally out of left field (or is that right?) in regards to you.

Can’t believe you’re not capping your visit with a live broadcast of Whad’ya Know. We’d all be pulling for you to win the quiz.

Hey John,
I’m enjoying Kain’s posts. He raises good points, and none of them are talking points!
I used to spend time over at CrossedSwords when it first started. I was always challenged to go hunt up data to support my positions, and sometimes found what I thought was true to be false. Where the idea comes from is less important than if it makes logical sense, and especially if the data supports it.
A good addition to the crew, but after you, Mr. Mix is still my favorite, but then again, I’m a tech guy, so I dig his take on tech.
Thanks for having this site.

@Arclite: Everyone bitched at Dennis G. and mistermix when they first came here. It will pass.
Soon, there will a group hug with E.D. in the middle.

Back in the spring, I spent some time in the soc!al!st hellhole that is Paris. The people there were obviously miserable in their middle class security and lifestyles. The stress of being unable to count on being tax-exempt if they made it to multigazillionaire status was obviously wearing.

@Maude:
Sounds like bukkake. Hope he likes that sort of thing.
matoko_chan
will forward all intel to the appropriate sources……via secure channels.
try harder, dude….. you are going to blow cover.

ah, the maduro. i’ve enjoyed hearing about all the Madison places on the blog
J.W. Hamner
I bet nobody in Madison can vote for actual communists…
Not to brag, but…

They wouldn’t make u a good mojoto at Maduro’s? Their cocktails are pretty good (eg a sidecar) . Very Don Draper too.
Also, too, did you “go upstairs” for a prostitute at the Tornado room?

Cigars are disgusting.
