Norco Dems Are Having a Picnic!

Northampton County Dems are having a picnic on Sunday, September 23, at the Tri-Boro Sportsman Club (RTE. 329) 21st & Canal Streets in Northampton between noon and 5 PM. Tickets are just $5. All local Democratic candidates will be there.

I've just sent Joe Long an email asking for press credentials. As a member of the press, I should be able to get in for free. Once I get past the bouncer, I'd like to get my hands on some of those raffle tickets.

A bronzed clodhopper with remnants of a gunshot hole ... will mysteriously appear on the doorprize table. Yes, Sam Bennett will be raffled off as part of The Joe Long Shoot Yerself In The Foot Award.

The grand prize? A framed copy of the original "We don't want no steenkin bloggers at a press conference" letter. Imagine - for the price of a raffle ticket, you can own an authentic email typed by the legendary Joe Long!

Maybe Joe will grant me an interview.

    Take some disinfecting towlettes.

  7. TomFoolery,

    You're not suggesting that the local Democratic machine is just a bunch of union thugs, are you? It's more democratic than that, isn't it?

    Besides, I can swim!

  9. Well, then I'm in luck. Joe Long and Sam Bennett can't do anything right. I'll just point to Lamont McClure and tell them he's Bernie O'Hare.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
