During Michelle’s speech, some of the Code Pinkos from the Nutrooters convention tried to barge into the ballroom (this was not a public event. Michelle was an invited speaker at a private event. But since when as manners, obeying the law, or common decency ever stopped a rabid moonbat?) to disrupt Michelle.

Texas Observer Undercover at Defending the American Dream

I guess Texas Observer staffer Forrest Wilder drew the short straw and had to attend the civil, not depressing, not angry, Conservative summit while the rest of his blogging buddies were at the Nutters convention.

Also spent about an hour after the speech by Robert Novak (which totally kicked ass, and I’ll write more about it in the morning) talking to Terry Reid, who worked in the White House for the Reagan administration. I’m going to help her straighten out her Facebook page tomorrow.

Working Four 10-hour Days to Save Energy?

Posted by Robbie Cooper on July 14th, 2008 | Trackback

It’s a great schedule and it’s one of the favorite perks at our company, which really boosts employee morale. Getting off work at 11:30 a.m. on Fridays allows you to take care of business that can’t be done on the weekends (government offices) or hit the road early for weekend get-aways.
