Light Enough Already

My Northern Alliance colleagues at Powerline made the Strib.

Yesterday, they noted the comical ticket pricing for the Kerry fundraiser noted in the Strib story; as Rocketman said:

But here is what we really want to point out--tickets for this event are listed in the following price categories:

Ticket Prices:

TROUBLED: $50+

ANGRY: $100+

LIVID: $200+

FURIOUS: $400+

MAD AS HELL: $500+

BALLISTIC: $1000+

Democrats seem to think it is a good idea to present themselves to the public as the party that has gone nuts... I seriously doubt that a party that defines itself by hate and anger can command the support of a majority of Americans.

The Strib quotes the fundraiser's organizer and "professional puzzle maker" Mary Logeland:
Members of the audience of 250 are paying anywhere from $50 per seat if they are merely troubled to $500 if they are mad as hell.

"We had some furious [$400], some livid [$200] and a lot of angry [$100]," Logeland said.

No one ballistic will attend the show. Or maybe they were just put off by the $1,000 price for that emotion.

Then, they mention our guys:
A conservative political Web log, Powerline, posted the group's ticket categories Friday and opined that it was doubtful "a party that defines itself by hate and anger can command the support of a majority of Americans."

Lighten up, Logeland said.

Note to Logeland and the Strib; a listen to Saturday's Northern Alliance broadcast would have told them we were plenty "lightened up" already. This petulant little outburst on the DFL's part is comedy fodder, not grounds for worry.

And Rocketman's right; the whole Northern Alliance has been asking, in one form or another, on our blogs and on the radio show, exactly why anyone would vote for John Kerry. The response is deafening - until you tell them they can't answer "he's not George W. Bush". The silence is then deafening.

Rest assured, though; we're lightened up - were "Lightened up" means "laughing our drinks out our noses".

$3,000+ - FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

$4,000+ - BARKING AT MOON AND RAMBLING INCOHERENTLY

$5,000+ - MAJOR HISSY FIT

$10,000+ - AL GORE
