Hey, Rosie, guess who's coming to dinner?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republicans will hold their 2008 presidential convention in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, choosing a location in the politically pivotal Midwest, GOP officials said Wednesday.

I think the high school fantasy football contest is what drew 'em.

 

[Rosie]

At least I have enough notice to get the house cleaned!

 

[Ace]

And they ain't coming because it's "politically pivotal." They just want some of Rosie's home cooking.

 

[JR]

Maybe that should be our next SportsJournalists.com outing!

Maybe Jonesy can take them all to Nye's...
And anyone of us can volunteers to take them to Reggie's

 

[JR]

Maybe Jonesy can take them all to Nye's...

And, as in Toronto, Jones is buying the first round for everyone.

This is not going to be popular among the political reporters.
It's the equivalent of a Super Bowl in Detroit.
No, wait...

Minneapolis/St. Paul in late summer/..... Detroit in mid-winter... hmmm

 

[Armchair_QB]

Minneapolis/St. Paul in late summer = humid as ****

 

[slappy4428]

Minneapolis/St. Paul in late summer = humid as **** just like most places east of I-35....

 

[Rosie]

And they ain't coming because it's "politically pivotal." They just want some of Rosie's home cooking.

Let's see....
How about burgers and brats on the grill, some pasta salads, a few veggie trays, chips and dip, and for dessert, some homemade chocolate cake with ice cream.

Rosie, Rosie, Rosie.... it's Minnesota....
Hotdish, dear...

:

It's summertime, dammit!

I don't make a lot of hotdish during the summer.

How about some grilled walleye?

Uhhhh ... I don't do windows.

 

[Gutter]

Lutefisk .. and plenty of it.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Just what Minnesota needs -- a couple thousand more white people.

 

[Rosie]

Uhhhh ... I don't do windows.

Fine, you can mop the floors.

Lutefisk .. and plenty of it.

YUCK! Fish soaked in lye? NO THANK YOU! (Besides, that's traditionally served at Christmas.)

The TV coverage calls for a reunion of the MST3K gang. Let's hear Joel, Crow and Tom Servo kick it old school on the nominee.
A reunion of Prince & the Revolution (Are the lesbian party games ready to begin, Wendy? Yes, Lisa.) would tear the roof off the sucka. And on the final night, Paul Westerberg belts out "Unsatisfied."

Hang on, this is 2008, y'all. Aught-seven is still in the works.
