HI, all! Congratulations to Hillary for making this a year to remember and to all of the candidates, including Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, who debate after debate, presented themselves with such intelligence and wit.
This is the Clinton Cocktail Hour. Each week, we put down our poison pens and lift a glass to one another. Everyone is welcome.
The bar is located to the right of the door. Our bartender with flair! is our good friend, Rico. Tonight's featured cocktail is a *Nevada Cocktail*, but you can order anything you like. Tonight's entertainment features the talented vocalist of vocalese, Tierney Sutton. You can get her CD, Dancing in the Dark at iTunes or Amazon.
If you're like me and can't keep track of TRs during cocktails you can leave them with Florence, our lovely check room attendent. The waiters are serving some Pan Seared Scallops with Creme Fraiche and Domestic Caviar. There's also a nice Pineapple-Jalapeno salsa and a variety of salty munchies. Please drink responsibly and tip your wait staff generously.
Topic du Jour:
The League of Women Voters filed an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court regarding the Indiana Voter Fraud Law. With all of the attention that Republicans are making of the nearly non-existent problem of voter fraud, is the intent of these laws suppression of minority or women voters in this election year and how concerned should we be? Discuss.
