Progressive Party Animals

Determined not to be November fools, a group of young progressives (the hip new name for electable Democrats) gathered Friday night for an April Fool's party at the expense of conservatives.

 

The Logan Circle apartment of host Uzo Asonye was a sarcastic homage to all things uber-right – from Ann Coulter and Donald Rumsfeld "inspirational" quotes pasted on the walls to chairs "reserved" for Enron executives. "People walked in and said, 'This is a joke, right?' " said Asonye, who volunteered his pad for the party, which coincided with the New Leaders Council's first conference over the weekend. "I'm all about the social aspect of it," he said.

 

The NLC was started for left-leaning students with political aspirations beyond college. "We want to be a farm system for Democrats like the farm system in baseball," explained 23-year-old Executive Director Patrick Ottenhoff. The room was packed with 50 practical jokesters laughing at the Republican decorations and sipping no-name vodka from red plastic cups.
