Midnight's annual Mardi Gras bash is running full steam this evening at The Meeting Place in D.C.; and, as always, we give you more for less money (just a $5 cover).

The election is over--and given the results, I forsee dark clouds immediately gathering above our beloved Homeland. With Obama in the White House, we can look forward to gay, black Arab terrorists flocking illegally to the U.S. to kill us and adopt our children.
