Hello all, we will be having our regularly scheduled meeting tomorrow evening from 6:30-9:30 PM at Piper Down (1492 S. State Street) As usual, we will be in the back room.

There is a lot of political stuff to discuss.

Local

We just had the off-year elections so naturally everyone took three days off and now candidates have begun announcing for next year’s elections. This week has seen Pete Ashdown decide to run against Orin Hatch again and Ben McAdams jump into the Salt Lake County racethat already has Senator Ross Romero in it. Not to be outdone, the GOP has their own inter-party showdown lining up in the new Congressional District 4 race between Carl Wimmer and Stephen Sandstrom.

When WVC Mayor Mike Winder grows up he wants to be a journalistnamed Richard Burwash.

The privatization of liquor sales idea is floating around again. I believe it is Sen. Valentine’s turn to kill it.

National

Senator Mike Lee wants his own Super PAC just like Stephen Colbert.

The Occupy Wall Street protests got a bit crazy in NYC today.

The Republican candidates discussed foreign policy in the 246th debate of their 680 debate series.

World

Due to the Eurozone financial crisis, Italy has a new government.

The Arab League is getting tough with Asad over the Syrian crisis.

and finally, here is something funny:

Thanks to the candidates who joined us last week for our Meet-the-Candidate night. And congratulations are in order because Kyle LaMalfa, Luke Garrott, and Charlie Luke all won their seats. And Alan Anderson is still in the running and very close; they’re waiting for the tally from absentee and provisional ballots. So continuing good luck to him.

Join us this Friday for a regular Drinking Liberally meeting in the back room of the Piper Down. We’ve got all sort of things we can discuss, including the latest on the Occupy movement, the Penn State riots, the latest Republican Presidential debate, Pete Ashdown’s candidacy announcement, and of course the election results.

See you tomorrow night!
