Happy hour next week...
AFF is kicking off the summer with an outdoor happy hour at Mary and Chris Sidall's house in Washington, D.C. The event will take place on Thursday, May 24th, from 6 to 8 p.m. We'll provide the beer so all you need to do is show up! The Sidalls' home is located at 1314 Wallach Place NW, netween 13th & 14th streets, a half-block south of U. The U Street exit on the green metro line is the nearest exit. See you there!

In the podcast this week...
This week on Inside Washington Weekly, AFF's weekly podcast, funding Iraq, Giuliani and abortion, and below the fold news.

In Brainwash this week...
In last week's Brainwash, Kristen Soltis planned your week, probably cajoling you into attending Reason's Happy Hour. Alvino Mario Fantini reviewed Sarkozy's political career and judged him Tamerlane of France. And Ilya Shapiro wondered just who controls the Internet.
