Puking Republicans

Truth and Rumors about the pending RNC here in Lovely St. Paul. My favorite is the request to extend last call until 4 a.m., rather than 2 a.m., for the duration of the convention. St. Paul City Council axed the idea. The council member whose ward includes the bar-district, stated that he wants to spare his constituents the sight of "puking Republican lobbyists" in the streets.

I found it fascinating that this was even suggested to show St. Paul's hospitality to the RNC. I had no idea the RNC had such a reputation for big guzzlers....

Thank god it's not going to happen. Can you imagine the precedent that can set? Pretty soon, every bar in the state will not only have on-going plays with actors smoking cigarettes but these "plays" will be on-going into the wee hours of the morning making for an interesting rush hour on the roads, I'm sure. We'll become "Marinating Minnesota" instead of the land of the loons.....
