I’m still a teetotaler, but after watching Donald Trump spend down years of American geopolitical capital in one week to cash his ego checks, I cast no skunk eye at those of you who groan, “We need a drink!”

So come get a drink tomorrow evening, Friday, February 3, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Aberdeen’s first “Progressive Happy Hour” and the Ward Plaza Bar and Grill.
Progressives, liberals, Greens, Socialists, independents leaning left, even recovering Republicans are welcome to join us Brown County Democrats for pleasant conversation at the bar. (The Ward also serves pretty pizza!) If you’d like the chance to talk about taking South Dakota and the United States in a different direction, come up Main Street after work Friday and turn left at the Ward!
On this… Your logic is impeccable. Live long and prosper.
Better get that Romulan Ale before the 30% space tariff goes into effect….
Tariff schmariff—I’ll have another shipment coming in from Cyrano Jones… as soon as he clears the tribbles from his shuttle life-support modules.
