Though our Drinking Liberally members don't always know each other personally, they do know they are part of the same larger Liberal community.

As one of the Iowans notes, Washington is "finally as gay as Iowa."
Share with us your stories of how your Liberally chapter has helped your community, or what you love about being a member of Living Liberally.

Then I ask a second question: "How do they all say the SAME absurd things?"

Who knew that Al Franken wasn't the Minnesota Senate candidate who'd get the biggest laughs?
Before Al was the perpetual-nearly-seated-Senator, he was most famous for Saturday Night Live and "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot." So we expected his campaign would be, well, funny.
