    Just an FYI–This is good, but will not be considered for submission, under the rules I am judging due to date of submission. OK? But we all know, that’s just my rules!

    And give it a liberal spin

  22. anon

    STILL IN: Democrats approving whatever spending the President wants.

    We are counting on Obama to want the right spending this time, instead of throwing money down ratholes…. time will tell.

  38. HOLY SHI….

    These are really good! Someone should take this thread, edit out the inside jokes, and send it to the NJ’s “community voices” editor.

    It would be the best thing the paper published in three years.

    Jason:

    No, I really meant SOUTHERN Sussex County. Check out the districts Bill Lee won: Bridgeville, Greenwood, Laurel, Delmar, Gumboro, Selbyville, Ocean View – it’s a red stripe across the northwest and southern borders, the areas represented in the House by Dave Wilson, Biff Lee and Gerald Hocker, in the Senate by Thurman Adams, Bob Venables and George Bunting and on the county level by Sam Wilson Jr. and Vance Phillips.

    Bunting is the only real liberal in the bunch, and he’s been kind of out of commission for a while with his health problems.

  40. I can see one of those seats I wouldn’t mind giving back to the GOP.

    Smitty, Smiity, Smitty, –C’mon back here. Comment rescue….the teeth…I meant from your previously saying the “party kicking you in the teeth”. Hope it doesn’t read like I want to punch you. Sorry!

    Now, get on the bus..first row.

    OUT: Drinking Liberally way up at the north-ass end of the State.

    IN: Drinking Liberally in the center of the State (with Jason buying first two rounds on Drinking Liberally meetings on odd numbered dates and when its dark out on even numbered dates)

  51. Disbelief

    Now that I think about it, Drinking Liberally at Fairways is an excellent idea. It would knock down the perception that we Dems are much more socially sophisticated than Republicans. And if you disagree with this, answer whether it would be more likely to see George Bush or Hillary Clinton in Fairways.

  52. Lee Ann

    Whoa . . . backup. Please describe for me, Mr. or Ms. ptthbbt, how George Bunting is a liberal.

  53. ptthbbt

    Oh, I don’t know… maybe his stances on environmental protection and education?

  54. Fairways?? I dare you!

    Better yet, how about Sheridan’s in Smyrna (Piece of Ireland, Jr.)???

    If there were some Drinking Liberally attempts in Kent Co., I missed it but would love another chance!
