Time for our second contest (and yes, prizes…). We’re still cleaning up the house from the first party, and here we are starting up another one. Ah, well….
YouTube and FoxNews are fairly bursting with videos of “Townhall Meetings Gone Wild” since the congressional August recess kicked off this week. Unsurprisingly the Democrats are scurrying like cockroaches for the cover of darkness, unwilling to face the immediate consequences of their behavior in Washington (longer-term consequences are, alas, a bit less escapable). Representative Marion Berry(D-AR) is no more or less shifty than the rest of them, but we happen to have a uniquely handy quote from his office, captured by one of the RedState gathering folk(h/t EE):
I called his office to see when his town hall meetings were going to be, and Emily, the scheduler, said he doesn’t have any meetings planned—when I feigned amazement (I’m not really at all surprised), she said that he was having a few meetings with certain groups.
So, here’s the contest. Fill in this blank with the name of a group:
During the August recess, Marion Berry will be meeting with _________________.
Rules after the jump.
But first, a better introduction to our hero de jour….
.
.
Now the guidelines:
- Nothing vulgar or sexual in nature. Family site, guys. Ahem, Vladimir.
- The group can be either real or made-up.
- Each person can submit up to three entries, no more please, and try not to duplicate what’s already been done.
- Entries are closed when I get out of bed Thursday morning.
- Eight winners will be awarded, of which at least 2 will be *real* groups, and at least 2 will be *imaginary* groups.
- I choose winners, I alone. I am the EPU, and while I may be bribed, I will never be blackmailed.
- The judging criteria, I couldn’t tell ya. Whatever makes me laugh out loud, or say “Actually I bet that’s true”, or think “who even THINKS up something like that”. I dunno, just surprise me.
- It’s supposed to be fun. In fact, I don’t think we can avoid it.
The winners get a free t-shirt of their choice from my website when I get it running (hopefully Aug 15).
Now, go do that voodoo that you do so well….

The Majority
aaronqofmaine Wednesday, August 5th at 2:49AM EST (link)The majority of people that go to these meeting actually want to participate in the democratic process. But the minority that have the lowest I.Q. seem to be being the most vocal. Like they say: the smartest man in the room listens first and then takes action. The wise know that yelling and shouting accomplish nothing. But hey, If you get all your news from TV, News paper, and radio its easy to be brainwashed. I feel bad for america when this is a substitute for democracy. If I was the republican party I wouldn’t want theses domestic terrorists speaking for me. People shouldn’t watch TV or MSM if they don’t realize its 100% for entertainment purposes ONLY, and a device for capitol gain. There is nothing worth knowing that you will learn from TV. on any channel EVER.
I think that people who object to health care rationing are ‘domestic terrorists.’
Im sorry, nobody else to talk to?

2. Meetings with groups lobbying for Obamacare and CapNTrade. Just in case. If one votes for these bills and loses one’s job, its nice to have greased the skids for future employment.

Funding of course, was hidden in the recent American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, in which Berry and other Democrats that represent conservative districts chose to fund and found this program as even if the truth regarding the program is uncovered, the wrath of their constituents is nothing compared to that of one Nancy Pelosi.
