The First Annual VDB/GMD Political Barbeque and Hamburger Summit continues to generate intense and nail-bitingly difficult questions.

Such as: What should we bring?

Partial list: political obsessions and turn-offs; predictions and cynical dismissals; all friends and acquaintances; flip-flops; and of course, your own alcoholic beverages (in cans, no bottles) and, if you want to go hog wild, a salad or a dessert.

VDB and GMD will supply meat. And veggie substitutes. And condiments and drinks. And our own endless political scenarios and what-ifs. If you’ve yet to mark it on your calendar, do it today. Before it’s way too late.
