Due to popular demand, we are once again featuring Roast Suckling Pig…and this time, we’ll have two! Not to fret, those of you keeping kosher, halal, vegetarian, or just don’t dig on swine: there’ll be alternatives available. Also, the moonwalk will be available for your jumping pleasure.

Details –

Date: Saturday, July 2, 2005
Time: 6pm until we’re done
Place: Casa Blanca, 5 Buell Court (directions can be found at http://joewhite.com/findit.html )
How it works: We’ll provide the meat and drinks. We ask that you bring your appetite, and maybe a side or dessert.

If I you think someone should be invited, invite them! No doubt we’ve left some folks off.

If I managed to not email you, please show up and challenge me to a funoodle fight in the moonwalk.

Is it overstating it to say that the entire experiment in limited government that we began 216 years ago with the passage of the Constitution may well have come to an end in the last few weeks with the double whammy of the Raich and Kelo decisions?
