Progressive Picnic in Santa Monica Ca Sunday Aug 10
Change Links Calendar | August 2008

Posted on 08/01/2008 5:27:32 PM PDT by airedale

I was at the Sherman Oaks Library yesterday and picked up a copy of the Change Links Calendar, the "Independent Progressive Newspaper and Community Calendar" with the other local throw away papers for kicks and to see what the left is up to. These people make the DemO-Rats in congress and the rest of the MSM look like conservatives.

Now to the point: For those of you who are interested (I wouldn't suggest going alone) Sunday August 10 they are having a Progressive Picnic apparently open to all at Santa Monica Clover Park. Some of you might want to have fun with this event. The ad in the community calendar reads: "The 4th Annual Activist Support Circle Potluck Progressive Peace Picnic. Special Guest is Code Pink founder Jodie Evens. Bring a dish to share. Noon-3 PM. Santa Monica Clover Park, 2600 Ocean Park Blvd, Santa Monica." There is a phone # which I've not included but the following web address is included: http://www.activistsupportcircle.org

There are a bunch of other interesting events in the calendar and if you want to take a look at them go to their website above but you really need the throw away paper which is probably available at a lot of the Los Angeles Public libraries as well as the Santa Monica libraries and other sites where progressives hang out.

Just to give you an idea about this "progressive" newspaper the 3 main articles on the front page are: The Democrats are the Real Problem; Turley fears Dems will let alleged 'Dush crimes' stay buried for ever, and Obama, The Prince of Bait-and-Switch-Afghanistan

For a view of the extreme fringe of the political flake culture try http://www.opednews.com/ I looked at it because my sister sent me the link to show me that she is "involved." She writes for it. She does write well but content is way beyond the fringe of sanity. Kucinich was/is their guy.

"Bring a dish to share."

Anonymously? Not wise.

ATTENTION CONSERVATIVES IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA WITH LARGE BREED DOGS...

Your presence is required the evening of Saturday, August 9th, at Santa Monica Clover Park, 2600 Ocean Park Blvd, Santa Monica. Be sure to feed your dog copious amounts of food in the time leading up to the rendezvous and might I suggest a few prunes earlier in the day. Your participation will most certainly be ‘SCENTsational’!

I once made some appetizers for a party which were basically mini-burritos made with venizen: Bambi Burritos.

I'm sure if someone brought some of those to this potluck they would be a real hit!

Dush crimes? As in President Dush?

Not nice and not fair to the dogs. Besides there is a big fine for not cleaning up after your dog. Also it makes it tough for all of us dog owners to go to any park if people don’t clean up after their dogs. Now Santa Monica is particularly tough about dog parks. If your dog doesn’t have a Santa Monica tag you can’t take them to the dog park.
