By now you have seen the viral video wherein Dailykos' own MinistryOfTruth, Jesse LaGreca smacks down Griff Jenkins in and interview that Fox News was afraid to air. You may also have seen him giving George Will ulcers on "This Week", a Sunday morning bobblehead show hosted by Christiane Amanpour.
If you live in Wisconsin, now's your chance to meet Jesse in person.
Details below the fold.
On Saturday, October 22nd, Kossacks are invited to gather at Coopers Tavern at 20 West Mifflin Street in Madison any time after 1:00pm. Jesse will arrive around 4 or 4:30pm, in time to attend the Occupy Madison General Assembly, which is located about 30 paces south of Cooper's, past the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, at the intersection of State and Mifflin Streets.
There is a "wish list" at http://occupy-madison.org of stuff that the occupiers could use. Cash donations can be made on site.
For the meetup at Coopers, Kossacks are encouraged to fold a piece of white paper and tuck it behind an ear, in a cap or somewhere equally visible.
Milwaukee Kossacks and Occupiers take note:
Jesse will be heading for Milwaukee after the Madison General Assembly to spend the night at Occupy Milwaukee in Garden Park the intersection of East Locust and North Bremen Streets.
When I talked to Jesse this morning, he expressed his regret that he only had 18 hours to spend in Wisconsin. He intends to "burn through" the state without sleep and get as much face time with us Badgers as possible. He also told me he wished he could have visited the Occupiers in Appleton, LaCrosse and Green Bay, but he has a can't-miss appointment with a mattress in Seattle on Sunday evening.
I hope to see a bunch of you this Saturday!
In solidarity,
