The 1st Annual Cosby Sweater Party was held last night and it was considered a moderate success by most. Nearly everyone showed up with a true Cosby Sweater and those who didn’t used one of the many spares we had on hand.

I thought the time has passed for when I read about a Mohawk being scalped but I stand corrected. About two weeks ago in Idaho a 16 year-old girl who sports a Mohawk was scalped by one of her peers. The girl was considered a Punk Rocker and the code of conduct for Idaho Punk Rockers clearly states no disrespecting of women. This code was broken according to Bill Braddock, chief deputy of Boise County:

“In their punk group, wearing a mohawk is a sign of being a punker, and according to their creed if you disrespect women you are not allowed to wear a mohawk,” he said. “But I don’t think the victim had any idea in the world she was going to be scalped.”

The girl was apparently scalped by the leader of their group, 26 year-old Marianne Dahle. Dahle seemed to take issue with the Mohawk.

Just a couple things and that’s all I’ll say:
This is the only time I know of in modern history that the losing side actually verbally responded during the speech. It sounded very much like the British Parliament. Of course Social Security the Battle of the next four years will, so I think it was at least honorable for the fight to begin before the nation standing up to a recently re-elected President.
Second, not so much the speech but the Democratic response. Am I the only one that associates that speech with the post game interview of the losing teams coach outside the locker room? I was just waiting for the Senator from Nevada to saying the Republicans were just the better team today.
And finally it was pretty cool to watch the whole thing in HDTV. You really got a feel for the “Fuck you, I’m not standing” of the Democrats.
