Remember when Dan supported the Iraq war because he though it would be the unexpected thing to do. Same thing here.

And

Hey! Remember when good ole Dan posted that story about the obese woman who accidently killed a baby by rolling onto it when they were sleeping? Wasn't that a fucking hoot! Good ole Dan, if something bad happens to him or his it's a tragedy. But anyone else, if there maimed or killed or suffer some other great calamity, well, as one of Dan's fans once wrote to him on Slog: "it's all fair game Dan, you taught us that."

Pathetic motherfuckers!

About 2,500 FBI and police will be deployed around the convention centre, a secret service spokesman said.

The city's air space will be closed for the duration of festivities. Roads will be blocked off and transit stations shut. The entire Denver police force has been put on standby and the authorities are also pressing prison guards into convention duty.

Delegates are being encouraged to get around on communal bicycles, set up in stands around the city for rent.

Organisers had initially billed Obama's speech accepting the nomination as a public event, promising to give away half the tickets in the stadium to local Coloradans, rather than party grandees. But a cash crunch has compelled the organisers to give away box seats at the stadium to the biggest donors.

Those in prime viewing spots on Thursday night will include the Republican billionaire Tom Golisano, owner of the Buffalo Sabres ice hockey team, who donated $1m to the convention. Big donors are also being invited to attend a post-speech reception where they will meet Obama.
