minor correction....at least as I read it, this wasn't actually the DNC
involved directly, but a setup committee, probably connected Dems from the
Colorado area.

While that's probably correct, it's not really a redemptive - the
committee consists of the Mayor of Denver, the Governor of Colorado, the
Dem Senator, a Dem House member, a Dem councilwoman, and a token
civilian, a connected lawyer...and hizzoner da Mayor's primary defenses:
"Oh yeah? Well, the GOP is doing it..." and when that didn't fly, he
switched to "it's OK because our committee is non-partisan..."

IAC, given that they expect to use some 100,000 gals of gas and evading
the tax would have saved some 40 grand, I'd offer that if in the search
for green, they went looking for organic, union-made totebags, someone
with some juice at the DNC knew about the tax holiday...
