And Jen's billionaire Republican second cousin is hosting! And it's in Woodside! And we can get a McCain 2008 lapel pin! Awesome.


That must be one hell of a lapel pin!
blood diamond encrusted, i can only hope.
" ... probably only opportunity to meet and visit with her before the November election ..."
Oh, don't you fret. There will be plenty after.
Awesome! We know the time. We know the place. See you outside the Siebel's house.
Howard Leach was the US Ambassador to France under George Bush, a member of the UC Board of Regents, and a mega-Republican fundraiser.
Tom Siebel, I think, is the cousin of Jennifer Siebel -- as in Gavin Newsom's new wife.
Is Leach the one who didn't bother learning French before his appointment and his family refused to speak the language at all?
yep.
Alignment and a short attention span can really change things. I read the headline too fast the first time. I saw:
"Invite to Sarah Palin's Lunchbox."
I might pay a thousand bucks for THAT... This? No so much.
Good for Sarah for getting a Superlatives this year.
well...I clicked the related article link (Sarah Tucker 1979-2006) and am here to report that I would rather have Ms. Tucker as a VP nominee than Mrs. Palin.
did the guy who hit her ever get caught?!?!
R.I.P. Sarah Tucker
I smell guerilla queer bar, no?
I dare you to say something positive about Palin and something negative about Obama. Just try it if it's even possible. It might not be but I'm curious what you guys would find/say...
Palin is spunky, cute, and looks amazing in glasses.
Obama doesn't know how to spell/pronounce his first name.
By wearing fake eyeglasses in order to make suckers think she's smart, those of us who have had to wear them since 3rd grade are vindicated.
Obama is pro-death penalty.
perfect! Thx
i'm going. you just wait. yes, brock, you're my date, after gavin newsom. if he accepts: i'm sorry.
so ol gav is a democrat and sebums are republican?
it's doomed
no, just jen's distant cousin as far as i can tell here.
Oh my god. I want to go.
Please tell me we're at least getting Jameth into this event. We could have a bakesale to get him in...?
democrat cyclists make sure you show up for the PA Noon Ride that day and mess up traffic...
Awesome! We know the time. We know the place. See you outside the Siebel's house.
You might want to check out a few videos of the conventions before you go. They even arrested journalists. They are not going to let anyone near, and they force you to put your face on the gravel before they pull you by your legs. This is Blackwater time.
You will definitely see me outside the Siebel house!
I mean lets face it; the last thing we can stand to let happen is for people that dont share our views/beliefs to have some sort of political organization/rally. We just can't let this happen!
Everyone knows we have it right? Dont they? They might not understand yet, but Im sure they will. It might just take some help, some sort of 'final solution' to get all those people that dont believe like we do to see the light, and come around!
Now, we might have to engage in a little thuggery to speed things along, but if you just call it 'protest,' we'll all be hero's.....plus....they are all so evil, everything we do is justified no?
I'll be outside the Siebel's, Im not going to let anyone with differing views to organize politically on my watch. My group will be the bunch with the brownshirts on.
See you there!
