       Drinking Liberally must be action packed.

           The Philly DL from 2004 until about 2008 was the place to be.

           Just go down the list:

           You
           Me
           Brendan
           Atrios
           Susie Madrak
           Wendy
           Mithras
           John (DrexelDem)
           Richard Cranium (All Spin Zone)
           Chris Bowers
           Chris B. (Rowhouse Logic)
           Albert Yee
           Upyernoz
           Asuka (PsiFighter37)

           It was a blogger emporium.  And the non-writers were just as colorful and filled with character.

           And we had special guests stop by from time to time, Joe Trippi and Patrick Murphy (Former Congressman), to name a couple.

           I was there once when John Street’s son stopped by.  I forget if he was running for City Council or what at the time.  Interesting to say the least.

       It’s dropped back to 150 mph but Hong Kong is in major trouble if it hits. Insane pressure readings.

   OMG. I was just taken back in time 9 years to a table outside the Tangiers on 18th & Lombard. Please tell me that Brendan does regular rant podcasts.

     BooMan on September 21, 2013 at 5:48 pm

     He’s doing a lot of stuff.  He does stuff with Scrapple News or Scrapple TV or whatever it’s called.  He’s not usually on camera though.  

     Yeah, it does take you back, doesn’t it?

     Phil Perspective on September 21, 2013 at 5:50 pm

     Yeah .. he’s involved(at least he was) with these:

     Don’t know where to find all of them.  Maybe Brendan will stop by in comments here and let us know.

       Late to the party, as usual. That was a one off, but it went well so we plan to shoot more. Its off-the-cuff, so it’s kind of hard to predict when a rant is boiling.

       At Scrapple TV, I write and produce Piggie of the Week.

       I’d like to be writing campaign ads.

   Kaiser Family Foundation has a Health Reform Quiz up on this website. It’s the 10 big questions about ACA that has been the most talking about and which has the most “misinformation” being pushed about it.

   I’ve been posted the blurbs to my FB page for my peeps to read.

   My plan is to continue to post as much as possible as often as possible.

   Anyway, I got an 8 out of 10 (I plan to wording of the question…I was robbed of a perfect score…lol)

   Here is the quiz: http://kff.org/quiz/health-reform-quiz/

   If you like it, share it.

      I posted the following on my FB page (and a Natural Hair group page I follow on FB).  I’m thinking I’ll make it a blog post too.

     **IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING ELSE I’VE EVER POSTED, READ THIS**
     It is very important that the TRUE information gets out there and the FACTS about the ACA or Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. The law goes into effect on next month and it’s important that people know what implementation meansThere has been alot of false information from opponents of the law and alot of outright lies about the law that for whatever reason much of the mainstream national media refuses to refute or inform the public about the FACTS about the health care law. Now you can chose to get the FACTS from the actual source or you can continue to listen to forwared emails and chain letters, or guesses and supposes on facebook and twitter, or getting “word of mouth” answers that may or may not be true, but by doing that you may miss out on the opportunities and the benefits that the law has.

     So please anyone who bothers to read this, please go tohttp://www.barackobama.com/health-care/ and KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT ACA, so you can make informed decisions about your health and the health of your families!!

     Thanks for this link.  Just shared on FB.  Virtually everyone I know is misinformed on the ACA.  Mostly due to living in the right wing echo chamber.

     10 out of 10, but I guessed on the employer mandate one.
