What's a gal gotta do to get taken off the Republican National Committee mailing list?

This week, Mehlman invites me and my fellow Bush backers to show support by hosting a State of the Union House Party on January 31, when the president, according to Ken, will be "laying out his bold agenda for the coming year." I bet he will.

For those Republicans who haven't kicked out the jams in a while and "don't really know what a house party is, let me explain," writes Ken helpfully. "A House Party (why the sudden capitalization, Ken?) is a great way to carry the President's message into your community, while having fun with friends old and new." Sounds like those guys are gonna tear the roof off the mothersucka!

As an added enticement, the e-mail contains the image of a TV set, its screen filled with a beaming Bush delivering one of his previous SOTU speeches, Dick Cheney and Denny Hastert applauding behind him. Two colorful cartoon balloons float beside the TV, above the words "Join the Party!"

Unable to resist that come-on, I clicked on the image and was taken to GOP.com -- and the House Party page. It features a very short slide show of previous Bush house parties. Boy, do those folks look like they are having fun -- especially this group of College Republicans seated on a rolling green lawn in the shape of a "W." Crazy kids!

2. Actually Democrats will also be holding SOTU house parties

"You shouldn't have to watch it alone... and now you won't have to.

On January 31st, Democrats from across the country will gather together and watch the State of the Union. At one of those parties, hosted by a Democracy Bond holder, Governor Dean will watch with them.

You can start planning your Watch Party in a few simple steps by visiting:

http://www.democrats.org/events/create

As an event host, you will be in a position to provide critical information to fellow Democrats in your community before the speech. Immediately following the address, there will be a nationwide conference call with Governor Dean, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi."

3. The democratic get fucked up and laugh at the SOTU speech party

Thats my plan, get a dozen or so buds over, drink, laugh and be merry, and discuss ways to bring down the corruption of this administration.

4. With the current state of the GOP and its ...

... ever-growing list of financial scandals, Repugs have to be ENCOURAGED to congregate -- they're all afraid to speak to each other, for fear of being 'associated' with the wrong people ...

6. We should have our OWN parties..

I even have a game we can play...

Every time Bush tells a lie, take a shot.

By the end of the speech you'll feel WAY better about the SOTU and just remember, he won't accomplish a damn thing this year anyways.

This November his crew is going down in the elections so they all fear some accountability for once. 2006 will be a great year for everyone but the right wing. Take solace in that.

I think I can handle more shots than all of you! :-P
