Party with the Party! CPAC in the hizz-ouse.

So CPAC 2009 is finally here! For those of you unfamiliar, that's the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. It's where lots of republicans, young and old, get together to be outraged, discuss "strategy", and cheat on their wives. Plus you get lots of super great deals on super great relevant literature, as evidenced by the ad "3 Conservative Books for 1$ Each" front and center on their homepage.

Showcased (by me) sponsors include:

The American Federation of Senior Citizens
AT&T
Catholic Family Caucus
Concerned Women for America
HowObamaGotElected.com
Islamic Free Market Institute
The Poker Players Alliance
Radio America
The Republican Majority (I don't think they have one of those anymore)
Youth for Western Civilization
and of course, the Libertarian Party and the NRA.

And what kind of super smart, super relevant things will these protectors of American Freedom be discussing, in between downing white Russians and hating gays? Here's a sampling of their agenda: note-These are actual events. Let's play spot the irony, shall we?

I thought Michael Steele was trying to give the GOP a hip-hop makeover, but I see shocking little evidence of that on the agenda. I am particularly sad though to be missing Media in the Obama Era: Is Journalism Dead? From their perspective, I'm totally crossing my fingers for it.
