OUR RISING COST OF LIVING

Oppressed DC Democrats Must Pay More For Booze

Without cheap booze, there is no Freedom.The National Democratic Club is a magical place in our nation’s capital where Fat-Cat Democrats go to drink their sodomite faces off and enjoy “exciting new menus” courtesy of Executive Chef Tony Hang. But the party might not be so much fun in the future: the NDC is raising its drink prices like common capitalist swine.

A highly placed Wonkette operative sends us this sad communication from the NDC:

TO: NDC Members
FROM: The Executive Committee
SUBJECT: Drink Prices

Due to an increase in the cost of alcoholic beverages and because drink prices have not been increased for four years, effective on July 1, the price for beer and wine will be increased by $1.00 and all other distilled spirit prices will increase by $1.50 per serving. While these new prices reflect economic reality, beverage prices at the Club remain highly competitive, and we continue to look forward to your support and patronage.

It’s enough to make a person a Republican! We hear that moonshine’s still going for $10 a jug at the Capitol Hill Club.

    Olde English it is

    Good. I don’t want to see any of these donkey-masked nerds walking around any drunker than is absolutely necessary.

    Where’s my goddamned arugula! I gots my endive, though:

    P.S. maybe the “mixed greens” in the Curried Pulled Chicken will allow me to hope beyond hope for the elusive rocket…

    The wine menu (http://natdemclub.org/wine.php)is more Applebee’s than elite, BV and second-label Estancia from Franciscan.

    California’s Boxer and Feinwine have let us down, once again…

  5. No, no, the sodomites are all at the Republican club. Also, can I win $300 mil from Barry’s regime if I invent a donkey mask with a straw attached? Might go to lips, might go to nose. Depends.

    schvitzatura: That Autumn Salad is the Gayest. Thing. EVER. Plus, it has Candied Walnuts! Bwahahahaha!

  7. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 2:27 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    What? They don’t serve drinks in some sort of collectivist trough?

  8. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:28 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    …I guess no more Crown Royal shots for Hillz!

  9. freakishlystrong says at 2:29 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    Well, shit, there goes drinking all day and capitualing to the fucking Rethuglicans…

  10. Cicada says at 2:32 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    What’s the point of your nominee having connections to big ethanol, if you can’t get cheap booze?

    Question about the photo above:

    When did LNS go furry?

  12. ronaldpagan says at 2:47 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Don’t worry, she is a Republican now.

  13. Why do I get the impression that these people were NOT invited to that party?

  14. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 2:56 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    but is there still a big sale on truck nutz?

  15. schvitzatura says at 2:56 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    I see a rollback in prices, if only for a few hours on Flag Day:

    30th Annual Tip O’Neill National Democratic Club Golf Tournament
    Monday, July 14, 2008
    Lowes Island Club

    For the ol’ Tipster (Resquiat in Aqua Vitae), exceptions will be made…

  16. masterdebater says at 3:02 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    OK, but what KIND of booze. If you’re getting that cheap crap out of the gun and paying top dollar, quit, but it’s still not worth voting for McCranky.

  17. RacerMex says at 3:08 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    Between the price of corn and “OMG HOP CRISIS of 2008″ I think i might have to switch my intoxicants from beer and liquor to fermented shit. I hear the africans are doing it and since we are sliding into the third world I might as well be an early adaptor.

  18. anabellum says at 3:14 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    the list of events is so sad….

    karaoke night at the National Democratic Club?…

    i’d rather watch Second Life puppets have sex…

  19. Serolf Divad says at 3:26 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    Remember, kids: Before Obama Democrats had to give out free liquor just to get people to show up for their rallies.

  20. thefrontpage says at 4:33 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    Does anyone know anyone who belongs to this club? We hope not.

    PoliticalGraffiti: O’Barry will transmogrify his call for Change-O Presto by giving us all (particularly thw hobo bitterites in their black mold, TV Guide infested, trailers, a jigger of Ethanol and a ‘back’ of Hope.

    Hope is around the corner so long as it sits on an ethanol lobbyist’s tab. Last call, Jim.
