It’s hard to believe, but spring is only three weeks away. Time to crawl out of our burrows, blink at the sunlight, and congratulate each other on surviving. Come below the Cheeto, where it’s warm and welcoming…
Unlike
weatherdude’s personal troll, I cannot predict what sort of weather we’ll encounter by the time we meet, but it can’t be much worse than what we’re looking forward to today. So, let’s all be optimists for once (even me!). Stay well, eat lightly the night before so as to leave room for fries
(mmmmm – fries!),
and plan to wear your third-warmest coat instead of your warmest one. Perhaps we can go outside after brunch to gambol and frolic with garlands of flowers in our hair!
In keeping with the new focus of NEW DAY (now known as Connect! Unite! Act!), I will be talking about my personal election activism agenda for this year: which campaigns I plan to volunteer for, what sort of work I hope to do for them, and which ones I expect to support financially, and why. Please join me in this, and come prepared to discuss your plans for moving our country left next Election Day – even a little bit!
Update: we will be having that Special Guest Star! It's Juliana Forlano, known on DailyKos as IronicNews. She's a political satirist and the host of the news parody series Absurdity Today. I hope you'll all welcome her - she knows how to do politics and have fun at the same time!
And as always…the nuts and bolts:
ALL ARE WELCOME!!!
