Start spreading the news...

...TB's leaving today. Like the Republican preppy look?

It's going to be a slow weekend here as TB is now very much on his way to New York. He will be catching up with an old buddy, doing a wee bit of fundraising and also working on something rather exciting. He should still have time to get the odd thing up here though. Will then be training it down to Washington to meet up with the

YBF posse

at the

Leadership Institute

for some good right wing and media indoctrination before heading to the

Young America's Foundation

conference.

So time to crank up the English accent and attempt to recreate that wonderful scene from Love Actually.

Ed: PS - TB (pictured) has been on quite an adventure recently. After he was shamelessly kidnapped from a CF event by a young lady and ultimately only rescued by the coordinated hostage rescue efforts of Mark Clarke and Matt Richardson, the bear has been all over London it seems. Thank you to everyone who has contributed in some way to his wardrobe in the last few weeks - be it the Henley boater, the bikers leathers, or even the cool new trainers. Much appreciated and there is a fashion show to follow...
