What kind of party is this?

From some Ohio newspaper...

FAIRFIELD — A business owners roundtable is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 27, at Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield to discuss the specifics of Sen. John McCain's economic policy should he become president.

Attendees will include Patricia Heaton, who plays Raymond's wife on the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond; Former Massacusetts Gov. Jane Swift; U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee; Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, heiress to the Rothschild fortune; Sandra Froman, president of the National Rifle Association; Rob Portman, former congressman and budget director of the Bush White house; and Betty Montgomery, Ohio chair of Women for McCain.

Ya...trying to comprehend this line-up gives me an instant headache. What exactly are business owners supposed to learn from Raymond's wife, an heiress, or the NRA? How to not work for anything? How to avoid paying taxes? How to shoot your way to the top?
