C2 PREVIEW: The Liberty Pub


She's little, she's a lady, but we have it on good authority that she isn't old. In fact, we heard she was quite a hottie. Meet or say hello to your hostess in C2's Liberty Pub, littleoldlady!

This is where you can kick back a few and shoot the breeze on the new site. There will be plenty of entertaining topics - football, baseball, recipes, gardening, cars, music, shopping...you name it, this is where you'll be able to talk about it, 24/7.

Our very own littleoldlady will have an assistant in this pub, affectionately referred to as "Bar Wench" (don't ask, we won't tell). But don't worry, your fruit cup will still be dished up by our resident social coordinator, and you can count on that. Same time, slightly different place, but most decidedly with her own unique flavor.

Help yourselves!

  1. I'll take a nice Oaked AB, thank you.

    Can we throw the peanut shells on the floor?

    Does the grill serve steak?

    Anyway, this is rich....

    No reason to avoid ACORN forum in Everett, officials say

    Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, said he is attending another economic forum in Olympia.

    “Am I avoiding them because of the recent hubbub? No,” Dunshee said. “They had a couple of bad acorns. That’s no reason to throw out the whole acorn barrel. They do good work with poor people and the right doesn’t like them because of that.”

  4. Gah! JCM, that's been the line since the voter registration fraud scandals! It's always just "a few".

    WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE for some of these people to admit that this stuff is systemic with this organization? I don't believe they don't KNOW it. I believe they won't ADMIT it.

    Incredible!

    Oh, and welcome to the pub, guys - I think she'll be in here this afternoon at some point! In the meantime, we'll have to serve ourselves, so grab whatever you want from the bar.

  20. Obama Awards Medal of Honor to Fallen Soldier

    Official Citation

    Sergeant Jared C. Monti distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a team leader with Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 3d Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 3d Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, in connection with combat operations against an armed enemy in Nuristan Province, Afghanistan, on June 21, 2006. While Staff Sergeant Monti was leading a mission aimed at gathering intelligence and directing fire against the enemy, his 16-man patrol was attacked by as many as 50 enemy fighters. On the verge of being overrun, Staff Sergeant Monti quickly directed his men to set up a defensive position behind a rock formation. He then called for indirect fire support, accurately targeting the rounds upon the enemy who had closed to within 50 meters of his position. While still directing fire, Staff Sergeant Monti personally engaged the enemy with his rifle and a grenade, successfully disrupting an attempt to flank his patrol. Staff Sergeant Monti then realized that one of his Soldiers was lying wounded in the open ground between the advancing enemy and the patrol’s position. With complete disregard for his own safety, Staff Sergeant Monti twice attempted to move from behind the cover of the rocks into the face of relentless enemy fire to rescue his fallen comrade. Determined not to leave his Soldier, Staff Sergeant Monti made a third attempt to cross open terrain through intense enemy fire. On this final attempt, he was mortally wounded, sacrificing his own life in an effort to save his fellow Soldier. Staff Sergeant Monti’s selfless acts of heroism inspired his patrol to fight off the larger enemy force. Staff Sergeant Monti’s immeasurable courage and uncommon valor are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 3d Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 3d Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, and the United States Army

    Rest in Peace Jared, words cannot convey the debt and gratitude for your service and sacrifice. Prayers for you family that the may have peace and strength during this difficult time, and that they know many grieve with them.

  21. I posted a link in my morning open thread about that guy. From teh article:

    There was the time that Jared was in high school and came home, to this house with the American flags flying on the porch, and asked his dad if he could cut down one of the spruce trees in the front yard. A single mom down the street in this tiny town outside Boston couldn't afford a Christmas tree, and Jared wanted to take care of her family for the holidays. Watch more on the life and death of Sgt. Jared Monti »

    Or the time that Jared was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and chipped in with a roommate on a $500 dining set for their apartment off base. One day the roommate came home and was infuriated to find the furniture missing.

    "He said, 'Jared, where's the kitchen set?' " recalls the dad. "Jared said, ' Well, I was at one of my soldiers' houses today and his kids were eating on the floor and they needed the kitchen set more than we did. So we're going to have to find another place to play quarters.' So that's the kind of thing he did."

  34. OUCH. Obama apparently told a story about a guy who had gallstones but didn't know he did, and didn't report them to his insurer, and lost his coverage.

    Obama, I guess, said he died as a result of delays in chemotherapy because of this debacle...but the WSJ looked into it, and the man didn't die at that time. His insurance was re-instated within three weeks of losing his coverage.

    He died four years later. After he lost his coverage and got it back, he got a stem cell transplant and his life was extended for several years.

    Oops.

    Gregoire lobbies for next budget’s stimulus

    However, “what keeps me up at night,” she said, is the thought that come 2011-13, all that federal money will have been spent, and the prospect of she and the Legislature “having to make up the $4.5 billion that we got from the feds this time – and it won’t be there when it’s needed.

    “So, we need a second round,” she said.

    When she ran for re-election in '08 she ran on a surplus of approximately $650 million. Her opponent Dino Rossi and conseravtive watch dog groups warned of a $2-3 billion deficit looming.

    She dismissed them as fear mongers etc...

    Within days of re-election she said basically, opps, looks like we have a little deficit problem. However is too beholden to unions and special interest to really make the cuts necessary.

    Now in WA, the State Constitution requires a balanced budget, so what did the (D)s who control both house and the govenors office do?

    They punted. They applied the stimulus money, even before it passed congress and applied what they hoped to get as revenue, then they played all kinds of games to get one time credits, temporary revenue sources etc... while increasing spending to "balance" a budget that really has a $8 Billion hole.

    Now the Queen has a solution for '10 budget.
    More federal stimulus.

  120. PaladinPhil,

    Are you in the Bathurst or Thornhill areas? Hmmm, if we lived near you, we would invite you for dinner tomorrow night.

    Would you believe that there are far more kosher stores and restarants, etc., there than here? I love the Sobey's on Clark and Hilda. They must miss me, as I bought so much there. We used to drive up twice a year for over 20 years, but I can no longer do it, as I am disabled.

    Thanks for the wishes...I love watching NY Grampa cook.

    No election? /What will Iggy say?

    Whoops, sorry about that was on the thread upstairs. I am in the Bathurst area. Love the neighbourhood. Don't want to move really cause it has so much that I like in it. When is the next time you are coming up to visit? I would make some time to visit if you did.

  124. Sweet dreams, Callahan!

    Phil,

    We used to come up every October when the Jewish holidays were over. One of my sons went to UC, at the U of T,but the oldest son went to the State University of Buffalo, and when one of my cousins, who sent to the U. of Rochester, heard, he said to drop him off in Buffalo, and head for Toronto...we did, and took our first vacation in years with the other 3. I fell in love with Toronto, and it will be 5 years next month since I have been able to go, as I am now too disabled. I miss going so much, and love the Bathurst area. We atayed downtown, in an apartment hotel on Church, but spent a lot of time around Bathurst.

    Hermes Bakery was a regular stop, as were some good kosher restaurants. In the intervening years, it seems that a lot of the Jewish community is north of Steeles.

    2 of my married kids have made Toronto a vacation place that they adore, especially when the EX is open.

    Back to the scullery I go!
