Give up? Make the jump for the answer.
We're all holed up in a (relatively undisclosed) location in Massachusetts.
Drinking.
And we're online.
With cameras.
Bwah-HAHAHAHAHA!
~ahem~ ...and without further ado, I'll let the others hop on and leave a comment, greeting or moderately non-inflammatory statement...
_______________
mem from somerville: Currently undecided on a candidate, none of these folks have convinced me who to vote for...I think they need to drink more....I'm currently not drinking because I'm driving....maybe I'm the one with the problem ;)
Sharoney: Recently decided for Edwards, but in true Pollyanna style can still find positive things in the other candidates (especially, in my case, Chris Dodd, since I admire Democrats with, you know, actual SPINES...) anyway, all anyone needs to become an activist is to PAY ATTENTION. Happy New Year to all--and online is great, but nothing beats meatspace. Keep on rocking and fighting!
HawkWife: I love Cosmos! (The drink, not the galaxy...and not by Carl Sagan either because I've never read it). if I may be political for a moment...I'm undecided. I don't know enough about these things other than what I read here and/or what Mr. Greyhawk tells me. Anyway, Happy New Year! I'm going to have a hangover tomorrow!
AnotherMassachusettsLiberal: Wow, I've got quite a houseful of tipsy liberals to deal with here - I accidentally started mixing drinks in the shaker and now we're plowing through the Christmas bar stock! But the conversation is flowing and we're having a splendid time, so I suppose it's all worthwhile.
Happy New Year to all! Remember, in 2008, Bush WILL BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE! Gotta feeling it's going to be a good year...
Thestral: Another year almost-but-not-quite-completely shot to hell :>) With just enough time to send off the last contributions of 2007. Alas, the way Murphy watches over meTM, I've probably doomed Edwards to failure by sending him money, but that's how it goes. Hugs all around & Hail Caffeina, the Goddess in Her Liquid Aspect!
sardonyx: Also undecided on a candidate—mem from somerville convinced me to her point of view—and I'm indulging in major chocolate. I brought along a batch of brownies (organic rules!) made to grassrootmom's famous recipe, and they're going almost as fast as the booze.
The company is great, and it's been great to meet everyone here. There are already plans afoot for major barbecue when the weather warms up a tad, at the same undisclosed location alluded to above. The major being barbecued has yet to be revealed...
Are we barbecueing the vegetarians? --mem from somerville, vegetarian
Are they grain-fed? —sardonyx, omnivore
Should we be designated BWI? That's Blogging While Intoxicated... -- HawkWife whistling a random tune
gmoke: Saturday drinking in a basement with a bunch of dissaffected political junkies could be heaven or hell depending upon your taste. Truth is, there's a lot of laughter and nobody's fallen down yet. Unfortunately, we have yet to solve all the world's problems. Maybe next round.
