Blogs using Party Time

Hat tip to Sunlight’s Nisha Thompson, who alerted us to a couple of local blogs that have made good use of Party Time this week:

The Progressive Pulse reports here on how Reps. Patrick McHenry and Heath Shuler have been feted by lobbyist Tim Rupli.

Irregular Times does a nice round up of parties here.

When we come across examples like these, we’ll link to them here on the blog.
