But how hard did you work for a meeting with Josh Hawley? I'd give a lot of money for just a picture of his quiff. It sets off his chin. But he makes up for it all with his announcer's voice. Really though just the thought of the anti-Josh Hawley, Lucas Kunce, and 'all losses are restored, and sorrows end.'
Evan and Mike “Pill-o-popper” Lindell? Wow! Does he still owe $5 million to that election fraud debunker and $37 gozillion to Dominion and Smartmatic? Rock on, Mike!
As I may have mentioned, I grew up in Shorewood, a close suburb of Milwaukee. I have only been back a few times since college; the last couple of times were nine and three years ago, I'm sure you have a number of current residents who can give you up-to-date ideas of what to do, when not enduring the RNC. Ratzsch's is gone, the original Spice House too, although Penzey's has a nice new store.
So all I can recommend at this distance in time, is make sure to get some frozen custard, and if you have a spare couple of hours, the Horticultural Domes in Mitchell Park are still there after 60+ Milwaukee winters. Cheers
Great stuff Becca!! Looks like you guys had to shower off some fascist cooties, though. But wow, Charlie Pierce! He's great. Great to see you, Dok and Evan out there observing a bunch of twits trying to torch democracy.
Have you seen Russell Brand yet? Russel Brand is there because it's important Russell Brand be there. You should find and interview Russell Brand and get Russell Brand's take on American politics.
Same here. And Rebecca didn’t openly laugh at me when I sent her a message about a week after I started reading Wonkette suggesting that I could write some guest articles. Because I’d been reading Wonkette for a week in early 2017 and following politics for 6 months so I was certain I was ready. It still one of those cringe moments I pretend never happened. But she occasionally likes one of my posts, so I’ll take it. :)

If I'd known I could meet Charles Pierce, that would make going to the Republican National Convention worthwhile.
Attending the Republican National Convention? Nah!
It would be almost as good as attending the 1924 Republikkan and Democratic Conventions along with young Henry Louis Menken, to be with you guys.
Ta, Rebecca, and yes, you look gorgeous. Charles P. Pierce!! The origin of the moniker "Tiger Beat on the Potomac" about Politico! Wow.
“Stay above the snake line, ya bastids !”

Wish I was there!
I need to try this "brandy slushy" you speak of.
EDIT: I formally propose that Hooper makes it this week's cocktail. I need a drink! Ahem.
All the Wonkette writers are ridiculously smart and good looking. <3
"PERIODICAL PRESS".
Shouldn't it say "MOMMYBLOG"?

He would be the FIRST to tell you just how important Russell Brand's take on American politics, because he is a self-important pissant.

I think that's ok! Don't have to cringe.
The official access pass has a gloomy picture of The Statue of Liberty, which is NOT in Milwaukee but in a city that passionately HATES dumb donad?
Par for the rnc.
The one positive thing that's come out of the RNC so far is that we now know how to shut Republicans the fuck up.
Fuck with their teleprompters.
Rather you than me. Thanks.
Love seeing all you folks together and smiling (and safe)!
Drink water, stay cool and can't wait for Chicago.
