The PJ Tatler

…in which we consider.

We consider, for example, the Clocktower Resort, with its notable dining establishment, the Tilted Kilt.

Why?  Because that’s the location to which Brave Sir Robin the noble and public-spirited Democrat legislators have decamped themselves, rather than face the ignominy of losing a vote in Madison, Wisconsin.

Here we see an exemplary member of their waitstaff:

One of the advantages of leaving for Rockford.

Quote:

Rockford, Illinois

We may be your hometown Kilt location, but we’ve got all the charm of a quaint little pub in Scotland and all the energy of a raucous party in Illinois. Whatever you want your Tilted Kilt experience to be, there are a few things you can always count on: ice cold beer and plenty of it, a mouthwatering menu full of the pub fare you love, a festive atmosphere full of fun and friends, and, last but not least…beautiful women eager to put a smile on your face and make you feel right at home.

We now know what they call “Hooters” in Scotland, apparently.

(P.S. If the name of the pub doesn’t immediately strike you, consider what might act as a tentpole, causing a Scotsman’s kilt to tilt.)

    Damn. That’s just what I need about now.

    How many Badger Bugouts are there? You think maybe it’s time for some psy-ops? Get a hundred or so opposite-minded folks to descend on the place with boomboxes? A few pickups with some nice landing-light-grade spotlights circulating in the parking lot at 3AM?

    • les nessman

      Speaking of opposite-minded folks, are there no women in this Dem delegation? No “liberated” harridans squawking about such a sexist establishment that exploits the womyn?

  2. It’s Illinois that they’re hiding in. The fact that they’ve lasted this long indicates that they’ve got some fortitude.

    • Charlie Martin

      Thank you. I’ve been resisting that joke all afternoon.

  3. 3. Gbear

    The lass gets my vote!

  4. 4. Dandapani

    Fake boobs? Meh.

    • JEM

      But they’re GOOD fake boobs…

      Seriously, if I could have her draw me a pint after a hard day’s work harassing Democrats, it might not be a bad way to spend a few days.

  5. 5. newton

    Funny, but for one moment, the phrase “waitress sandwich” came to mind… Nah!…

    Ugh…

    • Robbins Mitchell

      I would chow down on her haggis any day of the week

  6. 6. JP

    And a fine lass she is. Scottish indeed however in this case, the top reminds me of an Irish saying. Erin go Braugh. Yes, yes indeed.

  7. 7. Scooby Doo

    We got one in Charlotte also, nice, ah, place! Ruh Roh!!

  8. 8. TakeFive

    I know how to roust them out of there. Send that picture to their wives..

    “…consider what might act as a tentpole, causing a Scotsman’s kilt to tilt.”

    Please. This is G Rated site (see guidelines, above.) The Wisconsin pols wouldn’t have run away if they had tiltable kilts, would they?

  10. 10. Marie

    I am glad to see the fine Senate Democrats of Wisconsin have time for some T&A while their state struggles with a fiscal crisis. Run, Forrest, Run!

  11. 11. T.J.

    Sounds like the name of a gay bar.

  12. 12. Sack-O-Taters

    This shows you how dumb the democrats are. If they had simply showed this picture to the republicans, then the vote would be off due to the republicans being out of town.

  13. 13. NukemHill

    I love the Tilted Kilt. It’s a shame the fine establishment in Illinois has had its reputation sullied.

  14. 14. Emusabe

    I think this is why the radical muslims hate us. They have to go to the “Shuttered Burqa”.

    I am proud to have some Scottish ancestry! Go Ross Clan!

    • Kraken

      The Kraken Speaks!

      Soooo, has anybody explored the obvious solution?

      Have one Republican senator take one for the team and switch to Democrat?

      Then there is a member of the minority party to vote.

      Then pass everything you can till a busload of Sen Dems can rocket North to the capitol.

      Extra points: State Police speed traps on Northbound from Ill. for those driving like they are in a hurry or something…

      (Good grief I do all my best thinking for free.)

      The Kraken has Spoke!

      • It wouldn’t work. You need 20 to make a quorum, no matter what the party mix is. There are only 19 Republicans and the 14 Democrats all fled the scene of their usual crimes. So no quorum.

        • The GOP member who would switch would not be a member of the committee and would ask to be reassigned to the committee. Hearing no objection…

    “Excuse me, ma’am.”

    “Yes, sir?”

    “You see those people cowering in the corner over there? I want to buy them eight or nine rounds each. Double shots.”

    “Uh…okay, sir…”

    “I want to make sure that every last one of them is unable to walk out of this bar without help, or at least unable to walk further than that unmarked white van just outside the door…”

    Kracken, Sorry but you only get a ticket on I-90 if you have an IL plate.OT BTW, State Police Officer Betty, I Love You

  17. 17. D Palmer

    Charlie, Hooters wishes that they had waitresses and food that are as high quality as that of Tilted Kilt.

  18. 18. Wayne

    If I recall my history correctly, a bunch of anti-federalist Pennsylvania legislators refused to attend a session where the ratification of the U.S. Constitution was to take place. An angry mob descended on their hang-out, seized them and delivered them to the place where the legislature was meeting, thus ensuring a quorum so that the ratification vote could take place.

  19. 19. Mike H.

    It seems that this is in the official playbook of the Dems.

    Good but the Texas chain Twin Peaks has great sundaes:

    First time (only time) I came across this fine establishment was last July in Denver. I must say I approve.

    • Charlie Martin

      Jeez, I had no idea. That joint is about 3 blocks from the Buddhist Church in Denver.

      I may have to check this out.

      As research, of course.

    One wonders if there are any establishments that could provide side orders of tar and feathers for the, er, refreshment of the Badger 14 assuming they are delivered Pennsylvania-style back to the apparently prison-like confines of the State Capitol. What with all the TAs from UWM filling the capitol building, the patchouli and weed fumes are probably near-toxic. Given a choice between being surrounded by TAs and T&As, the Badger 14 made a reasonable, if cowardly, choice.

  24. 24. Rorschach

    One wonders what the lass is wearing under the kilt…

  25. 25. M. Simon

    I live in Rockford and I had NO idea. I live a sheltered life.

  26. The kilt is aye tiltin’ and the sporran is brawly soarin’!

  27. 27. Lisa

    I love how the subject is the Quorum, and that it’s meant to inspire the outrage of the Tea Partiers and their ilk.

    But as soon as a woman appears with some cleavage, this “moral majority” cannot contain their comments to the Quorum.

    Yea, you’re morally superior alright.

    LOL.

    • Charlie Martin

      Lisa, honey, I’m sorry, where did you get the impression this post was about the quorum?

      This post is about making fun of the Democrats for running off to Scottish Hooters as their hiding place.

      The serious “about the quorum posts” are down the hall.

    “when you hear the patter of tiny feet,
    its the badger bugouts in full retreat.
    they’re movin on’ they’re movin’ on
    they’re on the run, they’ll soon be gone,
    they’re movin’ on.”

    (“the bugout boogie”, 2011 version)

    Seriously? This place has beautiful women and great food, it’s not thier fault that the low life scum happen to have great taste. I’m a Republican and this is one of my favorite establishments to enjoy some hot wings and cold beer. The pub isn’t the problem, so stay focused on what is, and lets get our man into that office and start fixing the things that Obama is destroying.

  30. Thanks for enabling me to gain new strategies about desktops. I also have the belief that certain of the best ways to keep your mobile computer in excellent condition is to use a hard plastic-type material case, or even shell, which fits over the top of one’s computer. These kinds of protective gear usually are model precise since they are made to fit perfectly on the natural outer shell. You can buy these directly from owner, or through third party sources if they are designed for your notebook computer, however don’t assume all laptop will have a shell on the market. All over again, thanks for your ideas.
