ISOLATED TORTURE ROOMS

The Most Important Event For Bloggers Everywhere

Here is why we missed Ted Kennedy: after entering the Pepsi Center, it takes eight or nine hours to figure out where you are supposed to park your ass and start typing. Also, we were getting chicken fingers. How was Teddy anyway? People were clapping, the sounds suggested. Here is probably where we were supposed to go, on the bottom dungeon floor next to a room full of live rats: “The Blogger Lounge.” Doesn’t it look so opposite-fancy? Blogging, it seems, has arrived.

    Next time, leave the bar an hour earlier. Jeez, you guys. We can’t hold the snark up without your editorial genius.

  2. Was Mickey Kaus in there? If he was, do you think you could lock the door and set the place on fire and deny his pleas for mercy? kthx.

  3. They gave you one of the bigger broom cupboards. Quit complaining! You don’t hear Ted Kennedy, who spoke at the Convention despite being dead, moaning about the details.

  4. Gopherit v2.0: snark, snark, snark!

    No interior pics? Why — are you squeamish about photographing urinals?

    If all they’re giving you is live rats, I don’t know why you had to leave the District. I still don’t know how four people manage to get lost in one building for three hours… but hey, I guess we’re all glad you’re not in jail.

    It looks just like your mom’s basement, Jim, so all you bloggers should feel right at home.

    …did everyone get their own toilet to sit on, or did some people have to lean on the urinals?

    The Dems are smart: they use the near-dead as warmup acts. The Republicans save them for the acceptance speech.

  12. WindbagCity says at 1:07 am, August 26th, 2008

    Please take care and do not overwork yourself- that case of chicken fingers could take a turn for the worse and become permanent.

    The 3-Legged Man: Ooh yeah! High Five! All the way back to Lincoln. This custom has lead us to Sorta POTUS Cheney.

    P.S. Our editors don’t seem to recognize that they are in jail, however obvious it is from the picture.

    Why is the lock on the outside?

  15. They are going to lock it and set the room on fire, right? That is the whole point of this “lounge”, right?
