The Milwaukee Lefty Blogs Drinking Game
A little game to make your surveillance of the liberal side of the Cheddarsphere a little more palatable. Each of the following gets you one swig of any Wisconsin beer of your choice, unless otherwise noted:
- Wingnut (Double Swig on Plaisted Writes)
- Racist (Light Beer only)
- The tyranny of talk radio or equivalent
- Charlie Sykes
- Mark Belling
- Jay Weber (Double Swig)
- Jeff Wagner (Triple Swig)
- Rush Limbaugh
- Bill O'Reilly
- Fox News
- Faux News (Double Swig)
- A truly funny joke or story (One Entire 12-oz. Can)
- A failed attempt at humor (Light Beer only)
- Any sort of angry white male reference
- A low IQ reference to Republicans or conservatives
- Quoting a failed Democrat (Jimmy Carter, John Norquist, etc)
- Creepy John Hinckley-like obsession with Jessica McBride (Light Beer only)
- Any pointless Tom Tomorrow cartoon
- Homophobic, etc
- You're full of crap! (Triple Swig on Folkbum)
- Impeach Bush! in any of the Google ads
- Any over-hyped story from Media Matters
- Any ad for a 01-20-2009 countdown timer or merchandise
- Any reference to the Founding Fathers
- George W. Bush photoshopped to look stupid (Light Beer only)
- McCarthyism
- Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11
- Glowing references to Keith Olbermann
- Republican hypocrisy or conservative hypocrisy
- Cute baby pictures (One 12-oz. can - not everything is politics, you know)
- Any decent recipe
- Any decent non-vegetarian recipe (One 12-oz. can)
- Bob (if you are watching The Bob Newhart Show while surfing)
On the more frequent items I had to specify Light Beer in order combat The National Epidemic of Obesity. As for The National Epidemic of Drunkenness, you're on your own . . .

Jeez Tom, I'll have to save this game for a 3 day weekend so I'm sure the hangover will be gone by the time I have to go back to work :)

Well, I'm drunk, and it's only 7:56 am. Thanks a lot, Tom.

That's the great thing about this game -- both conservatives AND liberals can play!!

Kids, this is what happens when someone thinks he's funny.
Is Fox still doing their hilarious Half Hour News hour?

Er ... good comeback! Probably better to make a comment and THEN play the game, though.
