About Us

Photobucket
This blog is written by a group of liberal patriots who aren't quite as pissed off as they were a couple of years ago, but aren't taking anything for granted, either. We share a fierce dedication to the Constitution - the only words ever put to paper worth dying for, and we'll argue it's finer liberal points with anyone.

We exist to remind y'all that America was founded on four boxes:
  • The Soapbox
  • The Ballot Box
  • The Jury Box
  • The Ammo Box
They should be used in that order. This is our soapbox.

It's that time of year again!

Fri May 01, 2009 at 16:05:46 PM CDT


It's Truman Days!  The one weekend every year when Jackson County Democrats get together to drink, eat, schmooze, celebrate our victories and salve our wounds en masse...the one weekend a year when we defy Will Rogers, who famously said "I belong to no organized political party. I'm a Democrat."  The lone weekend out of them all when we get our ducks in a row and the backs of our fellow Democrats.  Perhaps most noteworthy of all, it is the one weekend of the year when Claire and I can be in the same room and neither of us takes the olive branch and beats the other one senseless with it.  

Between Yellow Dog celebrating the Derby and Michael and me reveling with our brethren, we may not get a whole hell of a lot of blogging done this weekend, but what the hell?  We'll have material for fresh, original content!

For a hint at what I will be doing this weekend, here are a couple of links to last year's posts about the annual celebration...

Bowling the first to say that about Dutch?

I thought (0.00 / 0)
I just made it up on the fly, but I doubt it was too original.

When you get raptured, can I have your car?
