The Liberty Pub is open for business!

We think it's going to be a busy night, so there are several bouncers on duty (don't worry - they're all very cool guys who are just here to make sure everyone has a great time and our posting policy remains intact). If you haven't met her yet, Brandy (our Bar Wench) is on duty tonight as well. She's also terrific, and if you need anything, just give her a shout or a pinch and she'll see that it's taken care of. Have fun guys!

  144. New Jersey School District Is No Stranger to National Spotlight

    The Burlington Township School District in New Jersey is no stranger to political controversy.

    The district, which is being criticized for a video that shows elementary school students singing President Obama's praises, drew howls in March 2007 when it hosted an "emergency management exercise" at Burlington Township High School.

    The purpose of the mock terror drill, according to a statement released by township officials, was to "evaluate the response and mitigation procedures" of police, fire and emergency medical services. But conservatives were incensed that the district invented a fictional right-wing fundamentalist group it called the "New Crusaders" for the exercise.

    Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin and other bloggers criticized emergency management officials at the time for allegedly singling out right-wing Christian fundamentalists.

    Township officials later apologized for any "insensitivities" raised.

    "The scenario chosen was intended to be generic in nature and never to offend any group, affiliation or religious belief," township officials said in a written statement. "The term 'Christian' was not included in the scenario. It was believed that all groups pray, and prayer in school is a universal issue. Similarly it is further believed that all groups experience right-wing fundamentalists in their organizations."

  151. RB: When I was in the reserves we had enemy forces. Always called (insert small town name here) Territorial Army. Always had fun with that. One base we exercised had had the Bogner T.A. fighting us. So simple to come up with a non offensive name for exercises. If it's an easily recognizable name to pick out for a group, it was intentional.
