Okay, so we’re on for McGee’s tomorrow at 3 pm. I’ll wear my trapper hat so as to look recognizable. Hopefully, others will have balloons, stuffed cats, etc. to make us recognizable.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Republicans in disarray!
They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.
A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals
fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
I really should read my own blog.
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.
Battle won, war still ongoing.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
“Squeaker” McCarthy
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.
No one could have predicted…
This blog will pay for itself.
Damn right I heard that as a threat.
Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.
Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

The rest of us expect live tweeting for the duration.

Are you going to pair the trapper hat with L L Bean duck shoes and fleece? We can has photos plz?
David Koch
Tunch is coming?
Amir Khalid
Are you a man of constant sorrow now?

Damn, I really wish I could make this. But, alas, The Daily Dish get-together at the same time….

Looking forward to it!

Johannes and I will be sorry to miss it. Mom in law’s birthday party out on the island tomorrow. Ditto on the live tweets.

ROMNEY WINS IN MAINE!
IT’S OFFICIAL!

Weird. I’m watching O Brother right now, and the radio show scene was playing as this post came up in my reader.
Have a great time, you guys! And do. Not. Seek. The traysure.

Don’t have a stuffed cat but how about a transvestite bunny rabbit? (Its back story involves Rocky Horror Picture Show fandom.)
ETA: I know it’s supposed to be a transvestite teddy bear but…
Sarah Proud and Tall
@Veritas:
Ah, well, I expect that little Ricky and Newt will just give up now that Mitt has won a whole 24 new delegates. They must be quaking in their boots.

@Sarah Proud and Tall:
According to the NYT, Miss Sarah, the results of the Maine caucuses are non-binding.
Which, as was pointed out by beltane on another thread, means that the “ugly contest” in Maine is every bit as meaningful as the “beauty contest” in Missouri on Tuesday was.
MikeJ
Pity Maine is meaningless. I still think Romney is the easiest to beat.
Sarah Proud and Tall
@Villago Delenda Est:
Heavens, it’s even funnier than I thought.
In other news, Veritas is a laughable spoof troll with the IQ of sawdust, but I do find him amusing, particularly when he gets everything wrong and vanishes for three days to sulk.

@Veritas: Now he just needs to buy a vowel and he can solve this thing!
robertdsc-PowerBook
I still think John should look into adding stuffed plush Tunch dolls to the store. He’d make millions.
David Koch
@robertdsc-PowerBook: This.
JoyfulA
@hhex65: You just read Friedman’s column, about the Republican Party as a Scrabble player with seven vowels that don’t spell anything?
ComradeOlaf
When will one of these cool get-togethers happen in MN??
PurpleGirl
@ComradeOlaf: well, you could pick a city and a date and ask if other MN people would like to join you for a meet-up. I don’t know it is required that a front-pager be there. Opinions, anyone?
MikeJ
@PurpleGirl:
We did a Seattle meetup with no front pagers present, but we did have a Nashvillite in town.
hhex65
@JoyfulA: heh, just a coincidence
JoyfulA
@hhex65: It was linked to elsewhere, and the first two paragraphs were pretty good. Then it turned into typical Friedman, and I fled. But the vowels—

Looking forward to viewing LOTS of photos!
Have fun!

@Sarah Proud and Tall: Oh, it’s even funnier than that. 16% of the precincts didn’t hold their straw poll until after the state GOP’s press release, so they just aren’t bothering to include them. So, contra Veritas, we don’t actually have any idea whether Romney won or not.
This is the second of the nine states to hold a vote so far in which the GOP has failed to record the votes in all of the precincts. No wonder they’re so worried about voter fraud.
CaseyL
@MikeJ: Speaking of which – Do you if you’ll be able to join us at the Seattle confab on the 18th?

It’s been a long week. Where’s this place? I think I can walk it.
jayackroyd
I can’t make it to McGees. I hope the book group folks will check out digby’s discussion with Corey Robin on Sunday evening.

Discrimination against the Third World spotted. Bigotry. Prejudice.Classism. Nationalism. All the bad stuff.
I want to come to a meetup in NYC too. Pout. Sulk. Mope.
