    REMINDER: MDE AND MN PUBLIUS BI-PARTISAN HAPPY HOUR TOMORROW

    By Michael B. Brodkorb | July 8, 2008

    This is a reminder that the first Minnesota Democrats Exposed & MN Publius Bi-Partisan Happy Hour will be tomorrow at Billy’s on Grand in St. Paul. The event starts at 5:30 p.m. This isn’t just a blogger event, although free Wi-Fi is available if you wish to blog. This event is an opportunity for people of differing political parties to get together and have fun for a few hours.

    The response to the event has been overwhelmingly positive.  TPT’s TV crew will be in attendance, so make sure you behave.

    Bloggers, non-bloggers, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, reporters, and candidates for office are all invited. If you can read this post, you’re invited.

      “Tom”: I tried sending you an e-mail, but it seems that your e-mail address might be fictitious.

      I’m not bringin’ a TV crew.

      And Tom Modus isn’t bringing a story.

      I also will be sans TV crew, but I can’t wait to meet y’all.

      I just hope Swiftee and Chestnut don’t turn out to be more like Ma Linger and Backlash Laroo then, well, real.

      [...] you can find more details here, but it Billy’s at 5:30.  Sphere: Related [...]

      CI, shall we make a little wager on whether there will be a story? dinner at a steakhouse of my choosing? let’s say kincaid’s.

      the irony of this story will be the sudden juxtaposition of views on the new franken ad. how delicious.

      OK, Tom Modus – it’s Wednesday; you can now tell what story will be discussed this afternoon.

      I wish I could go, but I have a soccer game to coach. I do hope you all have an excellent time there. :-)

      I called Billy’s and they have a case of Zima on ice for MDE.

      Swiftee is an ass in real life. Hell, on here he’s a humorous kind of nut. In the flesh and blood he is psycho. Mullet sporting, chopper riding, martial arts enthusiasts (a couple of black belts), gun carrying, unkempt mustache loving, Journey and Van Halen (not Van Haggar)loving, 70′s macho genre, wife beater T wearing jackass. And, those are his good traits. He wouldn’t think twice about spoiling everyone’s fun just to attempt to kick someones ass. Its exactly what he did at gathering a couple of years ago. Challenged an old man to a fight.

      I believe ChinNuts is a certain former Young Republican part of the group that scammed seniors out of their money six years back. He may be on Norm’s payroll now. He’s a coward, don’t expect him there.

      I’m coming to see if GOPGal and Andy Apilowski are two different people.

      Mikey’s a decent guy in person. Keep him away from the computer (good luck with that) and you’ll have a good time with him. Get him to buy a couple of drinks with some of that GOP cash before they pull a Reagan/Bush/Bush and stick us Dems with the bill.

      What city does he represent?

      Hmmmm….I like my steak medium rare. See you at Kincaid’s

      Not the earth-shattering news that I was expecting, but still it is a significant departure worthy of a steak dinner from the doubting C.I.

      Question- will C.I. be incognito for this evenings affair?

    14. Michael B. Brodkorb Says:
      July 9th, 2008 at 11:12 AM

      Mark: Thanks…I make no apologies for enjoying an ice cold Zima. I hope you requested Zima Tangerine.

    15. Tom Modus Says:

      so, in light of the news, do the republicans agree with the new al franken ad that a former politican should not become a lobbyist upon leaving office? or, god forbid, will they attempt to use al’s argument and attack what he’s doing?

    16. DJZ Says:
      July 9th, 2008 at 12:02 PM

      I just read that ol’ Andy from Residual Forces will be there. Of course he’s claiming he was invited because he’s too cool for something like this.

      He’ll be the short, fat, bald guy in the corner. You’ll see why its hilarious that he talks about other people’s appearance.

      Mikey and Zima? Are you serious?

    17. Swiftee Says:
      July 10th, 2008 at 8:36 AM

      LOL!

      I think I’ll rename DJZ – WTF??

      Typical lefty big mouth. Jaws flapping a mile a minute, but nary a word of truth. WTF??’s description is so wrong its obvious he’s never met me…but that’s not going to stop him from telling “you” all about it.

      Listen, WTF?? I’m not sure what you think a mullet is, but I haven’t cut my hair in any way, shape or form in five years; long isn’t a mullet. I have a beard, always have had a beard, not a mustache; its trimmed very short.

      I don’t know what idiot told you that I did, but take it from me; I’ve never “challenged” anyone, old or young to a fight at any “gathering”.

      Before you make an ass of yourself, go back to the “blogger” profile you think you know by heart and get what few facts I chose to share straight, or better yet, just close your pie hole.

      You morons are really too much! LOL!
