I’ll second the take from Ed (no relation). What a tremendous bash!

“ah, but was Allah there?”

Allah’s in the house? Not this time, alas.

Incidentally, thanks for the kind words in the comments about PJTV. The behind the scenes crew has been nothing but grace under intense pressure launching new mini-TV network on location.

Hey Morrissey-
Cowboy up buddy! We’re meeting for lunch in a couple of hours AND you’ve got to be on your A game to interview me on UStream.
I’m expecting nothing but pure professionalism this afternoon.

Lucky.
I went to my first”at the Field” Cubs game since ‘91…and got to see my beloved Cubbies lose their 4th in row.
It took them 11 innings to do it.

I need to start pimping myself as the right wing conservative’s go-to techno DJ.

You know that party could have rocked so much harder had I performed a set. Thumping beats + Samples of Ronald Reagan = Crazy Delicious.

It wasn’t until I saw the Obama lawn sign that I realized I was in the wrong place, and drove the extra block to Jasperwood.

Shucks, Ed. You could have really finished the story with a huge punchline had you gone as far as the front door before realizing your “must have been the wrong place, but at the right time” situation.

…and to the extent that one can drink too much in diet soft drinks and water, we did that too.

You party animal, you!

Hey Ed, are you sure it was not a well used fire hydrant?

OT: Please watch this video provided by the McCain campaign about Governor Palin. Ed: maybe you could link this?

(Actually, I went to the wrong house first. In the darkness, I thought I saw James’ house and was puzzled by the fact that we appeared to be the first ones to arrive — at about 8:30. It wasn’t until I saw the Obama lawn sign that I realized I was in the wrong place, and drove the extra block to Jasperwood.)

Did you at least pull the sign and throw it away?
