| 2004-12-20 |
| The Rantburg editorial staff is pleased to invite the Rantburg community to the Inaugural Rant-a-Palooza! Date: Saturday, January 22 Time: 1 p.m. 'til last call Where: Chinatown, downtown Washington DC. Exact name of watering hole to be provided later. Metro: Chinatown-Gallery Place on Red/Yellow/Green lines We'll raise a glass to "four more years of tax cuts and dead terrorists." Then we'll raise a glass to the best damn website in the Blogosphere. After that, it's up to you! Fred, myself, and Dan Darling will be attending, and I'm waiting to hear from Dr. White. Steve sends his regrets, and says the first round's on him. Please email me at seafarious@yahoo.com to let me know if you're coming, or leave a note in comments. If you want to come in from out of town, let me know. Thanks and we are looking forward to meeting you! UPDATE: Dr. White informs me that he will be "washing his hair" that weekend and thus will be unable to attend. He has promised to send a life-size cardboard cutout of himself for photos. |

| #21 There, there, Mrs. Davis. Iâm sure itâs nothing a lawsuit couldnât fix. ; ) Is old Mr. D up to date on all his child support obligations, alimony, palimony, conditions subsequent to a duly executed contract, or other such things? Do you need a declaratory judgment, an injunction, or will just money damages do? Remember, even if the heart balm laws are all out of favor, we can still âget âem!â As for RB, it is sooooo hard âbeing thereâ for __both__ sides of a warring couple. Iâm sure no harm was meant . . . |

| #19 Krimeney! I take the kid to Cub Scouts, come back, find out you guys are having a party and have invited that two timing, no good scoundrel Mr. Davis. And then Fred suggests he bring that brazen hussy Gentle. Well! I hope she brings her other sugar daddy, Murat, along and they install sharia in that bar. It would serve you infidcels right! |

| #18 I'll be there unless I have to work that night. I work for the White House Military Office and we get tapped for a lot of folks for this event as you can imagine. |

| #17 You stole me thunder, Fred! That was the question I was going to ask, but I was posting a detailed missive on apathy in another article. |

| #16 Poop! I'll be in Maine trying to get the Election Registration systems in line with HAVA requirements. Will someone drink too much, say something very non-PC and get slapped for me? Shipman, Dotcom, Buehler, anyone?? :) |

| #15 Mr. D: Are you bringing Gentle? |

| #14 Dang! I'm pretty sure I'll be proofreading the first round of State Budget amendments that weekend. Wratts! I'll keep the date on the calendar - maybe the General Assembly will get into a fight and be late with the amendments.... ;-) If I don't make it, I'll certainly be there in spirit. |

| #12 Mum's the word, Mr. D, mum's the word. Rafael, we'll have to run it past Homeland Security, of course, and make sure that your I.C.E. registration is up-to-date, but with a one-month lead, a ladder to get you over the Friendship Fence, and a nice bouquet of flowers, it shouldn't be a problem. Insh'allah. |

| #10 I already posted this in the O'club... I may be going to Texas between ex-mas and New Year's; if anyone's interested in any meetings or anything during that time period let me know. |

| #6 There is (or was a couple of years ago) a really cool Irish pub in Chinatown. It was supposedly moved brick-by-brick over the Atlantic. I'll try to get the name of it, it's pretty big, might be a good spot. |
