Hey, you ever been in Chicago and thought to yourself, I should go to a goddamn PACKED town hall with at least 100 people standing around the edges, 40 people sitting on the floor up front like common hippies, and at least 300 people over all jammed in to hear WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO NOW asked and answered by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky?
ME TOO!
Above you'll find last night's video of Schakowsky FIRED UP and READY TO GO and CALL YOUR SENATOR A LOT RIGHT NOW and HEY HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT JOINING THE UNION?
Nobody wants to watch a 10-minute video, but also nobody wants to edit a video on her phone, so we'll make you a deal: You start watching, and you can turn it off when you are bored! But do get at least a taste. According to our hostess, your compatriot House of the Blue Lights, she has never seen Schakowsky a-yellin' and a-whoopin' like this. (She has also never seen a town hall with at least 300 damn people in it, she says: maybe 30, 40 people tops.)
So there you have it! About 10 percent of the room -- so at least 30 -- raised their hands to say they'd be going to the Women's March in DC. (One hundred percent of the rest will be marching in Chicago on Saturday.)
This is our official, personal invitation to Rep. Schakowsky to join the citizens of Wonkette.com at Bottom Line during the Inauguration(10 a.m. to probably 3 p.m., this Friday),from which she can "write out her tweets" and "do a Facebook" while we buy her "some chicken wings." YOU will be joining us there too, DC.(1716 I (Eye) Street NW)
As to the Women's March, don't forget wonkers will be meeting up atPotbelly Sandwiches, 409 3rd St SW, at 9: 30 a.m. on Sat., Jan. 21!We will march together, for justice, and women, and fuck that guy but mostly FOR MARCHING!
Can't wait to see your beautiful faces.
You guys should post citizens at every exit to make sure he doesn't weasel out. You might not be able to stop him, but I'll bet you get some great cellphone footage to post later!
You know what? (This is unexpected.) Reading your comment, I suddenly understood those myths about Christian martyrs risking their lives by refusing to spit on a cross. Right now, I honestly don't think I could EVER piss on the Constitution. Not even a Xerox of it. I think I'd spit in the face of any fascist who tried to force me. Damn. Am I an extremist now? (Seriously, this is really weird. I'm almost in tears just thinking about it.)
