This meet up is completely unofficial and not endorsed by FreedomWorks or any other organization but will start at 7pm Friday night at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern (subject to change if our group gets too big since its a small bar). The tavern happens to be right across the street from FreedomWorks’ office and right after the last organized Friday event for BlogCon. So, hopefully, that will allow for as many people as possible to show up and hang out.

It should be a good time. Everybody is invited. Come on out if you want to share some food, a few drinks, and the sentiment that Politico can shove their legal bullying where the sun don’t shine.

Or come and defend Politico… the main goal is to get together and have some fun.

Don’t worry I’m going to keep fighting the good fight and won’t be backing down. I’ll try to keep everybody updated on whats going on. Thanks for all the support though it really helps keep me strong.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about check out these background posts from a while back.

Sorry I haven’t been writing here as much lately but I’m spending most of my time writing over at my new MRC blog The Blast which has been incredibly successful by the way. It’s reached more than 300,000 visitors in just the past three months or so. It’s also been linked across the blogosphere and the rest of the web.

So you can check me out there and also at Human Events where I get to write op eds from time to time.

My review of Jason Mattera’s book “Obama Zombies” was published by them today and I think you should, ya know, go read it. Here’s a taste to get your appetite going:

In 2008, twenty-somethings like me began to notice a disturbing new creature appearing on their college campuses around the country and all over their favorite social networking sites.  They seemed to spread out everywhere, spewing meaningless dribble in the form of campaign slogans and infecting others as the year went on until it appeared a full-blown epidemic had emerged.  What were these ominous beings and where did they come from?

Yup. I’m in a very exclusive beta for Twitter’s much talked about new feature lists. How exclusive you ask? Well… I have no idea actually but it seems pretty exclusive given that only 311 of the 3,867,501 who follow Ashton Kutcher have made a list that includes him (click to enlarge):

Well, now that you know how awesomely special I am, here’s the full pictorial break down of what Twitter Lists feature is going to look like (if they don’t change them) when they launch to everybody. First the home page (click to enlarge):

The new page for people you follow (click to enlarge):

What happens when you click on the new lists button you ask? Why this of course (click to enlarge):

And what do these lists look like you say? Ok. First of all… stop asking pushy ungrateful questions. I’m trying to be nice and show you Twitter’s cool new feature and with each screen shot all I get are more and more questions!!2111!! Secondly… this is what the lists look like (click to enlarge):

Though I have only been using the new feature for a couple of hours this is the internet so I feel the need to express my opinion of it right now. Essentially I think, like everything with Twitter, its a great and innovative idea but its still too buggy. It takes several tries to actually get somebody into one of my lists which is annoying and slows things down A LOT. Once (or rather if) they work out the bugs it should be another great addition to a great service.

So treat him right.

Thanks,
CP

Ps. I’ll be working on my super top ultra secret new mysterious project and won’t be able to post on The College Politico much but JNuzzi08 should keep you happy and I’ll look into adding some more contributors soon.

First there was finals which was just soooooooo very fun. And I got soooooooo much sleep…

Now it’s senior week which is still really busy but actualy very fun. Sad… but fun.

Expect to see more after graduation which is on saturday.

Thanks,
College Politico

I thought I’d give you all a little more of the college life experience by introducing you to my latest recuring post: Required Daily Reading.

That way you can feel my pain… well, except not really because the stuff I’ll be giving you to read won’t be an absolute waste of time like the majority of my school reading. Either way, here’s my first installment:

• My latest piece at NewsBusters on the new defensive posture of the NYT
• Women in Oklahoma can finally legally protect their unborn children
• The Guardian really rips into Obama (h/t @JustKarl)
  
• Obama literally threatens bankers
• Obama looks utterly pathetic in his french town hall

Be sure to check back to this post periodically as I’ll be trying to update it as often as possible.
