* Tonight is the annual Conference of Women Legislators event…

* But there is another event today that might catch your attention…

Peace and love? At the IMA, IRMA party?

Huh?

Turns out, The Schwag is playing. They’re a pretty famous Grateful Dead cover band out of St. Louis. The IMA’s Greg Baise, you may recall, is a Dead Head.

It’s tie dye optional, I assume.

Yes, because everything is fun right? Happy days are here again! Hurrah! Don’t worry friends! I’ll keep the poor, disabled and elderly in line down here! Now that we’ve destroyed the social safety net we can soon divert that money to TAX BREAKS, EDGE GRANTS, ENTERPRISE ZONES and so much more! Woooohooooooooooooo! s/

Google Schwagfest and read about a federal “justice” system horror. I assume Baise is influential enough to keep the feds away.
