Five days from now, I'll be in Denver, perhaps rolling into VodkaPundit's place about 2 a.m. Monday. I'm sure he's having a grand time trying to explain this to Mrs. VodkaPundit: "But honey, he's a professional journalist . . ."

There will be many important stories to cover during the Democratic National Convention. Not all of these stories will involve large expense tabs at Shotgun Willie's, although my sources in Denver say that fine establishment is where many delegates and Obama campaign operatives plan to spend most of the week.

"Unofficial HQ," as Barack and his hard-partying crew from Chicago say and, hey, when you're raising $50 million a month, why not? The taco plate's only $9.25, and it's a perfectly legitimate campaign expense: Community outreach.

In between mingling with the political insiders at Shotgun Willie's, we'll also be covering the street carnival of clueless morons dangerous radicals progressive activists engaged in futile gestures pseudo-political wanking constitutionally-protected dissent on the streets of Denver.

Of course, we will also cover the intolerable snoozefest endless demagoguery exciting developments at the convention itself.

This should be one of the most important political events of our lifetime, and we'll be right there at the platform debate the major speeches Shotgun Willie's.

Trust me. I'm a professional, remember?

UPDATE: Badger Blog Alliance:

There is no problem so great it cannot be solved through brute strength and ignorance. And maybe Photoshop.

Indeed. Ruhypnol can also come in handy.
