Drinking Liberally in Philadephia

If it's Tuesday in Philadelphia then it is Drinking Liberally night. One of the best things about Drinking Liberally in Philadelphia is that so many of us are writers/bloggers, so we all read each other's stuff and then talk about how brilliant we all are. Oh, and who will give Noz a ride home. Here's what the DL chapter is talking about today.

Noz discusses Al-Qaeda branding.
Susie discusses yoga and her new neighbor's mom.
Sally discusses Krugman.
Brendan discusses an old friend and eating opossum.
Atrios laughs at al-Hurra.
Richard Blair discusses the second surge.
SpinDentist watches McCain and Romney mix it up.
Albert discusses Samsung's latest wireless phone.
Chris Bowers discusses checks and balances in the progressive movement.
PhillyBits discusses SEPTA and fare transfers.

I'm not sure if our Chris is writing anything at the moment, but he's sure to show up bearing adorable rodents any time now.

Drinking Liberally goes on every Tuesday at a bar named Tangier (18th and Lombard). See you there.

And what, exactly, were you expecting from a medium spawned by the intense desire of morbid teenagers to convey to the world the intricacies of their love lives in posts full of bad poetry and Metalica lyrics?

Just don't go driving liberally afterward. But if you do, well I know a good attorney. ;-)

I never got back to DL after December, unfortunately. I'll try and make it more often next year, pending my academic and recruiting schedule. It'll be my last year in Philly...

Hope to find you all at the end of the summer. Moving to West Chester in July. I normally hang out at FDL, Hi Brendan!

Unfortunately, since the recent death of my cat I've begun to notice the appearance of slightly less than adorable-ass rodents in my apartment. I should have brought you some of them.

I'm not sure if I've been there since before the PA-SEN primary, given how tense things were, other than a visit to chaperone Patrick Murphy down there. I guess it's safe to start coming again . . .
