Net Roots 2013: A study in self loathing
Hilarious send up of the 2013 Net Roots convention.From shedding tears for the polar bears to regulating behavior towards transvestites, this massive joke just writes itself, year in and year out. From TFA, an excerpt: "When I think about the polar bears, I cry," the young Netroots attendee sitting at the table next to us told his friend as he chowed down on a club sandwich. Kredo and I were sitting in an Italian joint next to the convention hall, eating lunch. The rest of the day was consumed by events. There were "80 panels, 40 training sessions, inspiring keynotes, film screenings and other engaging sessions designed to educate, stimulate and inspire the nation's next generation of progressive leaders," according to the conference website. I sat in on "State Battles 2013: Fighting to Block the Right-Wing Agenda." The folks on the mic said things like, "because we have the facts on our side, we tend to spend money smarter," and "on our side, we have people power." Posted by: badanov 2013-06-29 |
