Slog - Comments on Re: Re: The Lord Almighty: Still a Lousy Shot http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/re_the_lord_almighty_still_a_lousy_shot_1 Looks like the Lord will likely requireth Bush (and possibly McCain) to be elsewhere during the Republican convention: ST. PAUL—President Bush is unlikely to make it to the Republican National Convention and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) may deliver his acceptance speech by satellite because of the historically huge hurricane threatening New Orleans, top officials said. And: Republican officials here are preparing for radical changes to the every element of the convention. If the storm is as bad as feared, they will dramatically alter the tone of the speeches, cut way back on the partisan red meat, eliminate the glitzy entertainment,...

Why do I picture a six-year-old with his lower lip stuck out, not wanting to go to school?

Or something.

Whereas the God of Ecclesiastes was a stoner. Or something. Fuck, I don't know. Crazy ass religion, if you ask me.

This is what we should all be doing. I hope and expect the Democrats to do the same.

In the end though, I imagine this is how America will feel after such a caring move on the Republicans' part: "Well, at least you guys aren't fucking up *now*"...

Contrast the Mainframe Convention (Democrat) versus the WiMax/Microlaptop Convention (Republican).

The Doomocrats were huge, boiserous and wanting big "Neisen ratings". Gee...what year is it? 1960 or 2008?

The Republicans are mobile...we don't have to all be in one place to have a "convention" -- we use a technology called the In-Ter-Net.

We can mobilize to help New Orleans AND communicate at light speed with each other. We measure our success by the person, not the ratings point!

or are you making some sort of joke that i'm missing. it is late and i'm a bit drunk...

Remember, this is the "Mission Accomplished" party... these people are not subtle, and assuming that Democrats are the only ones that want coverage is moronic.

He's just going through a rough patch right now. The wife left him, his hair's falling out, and moved him to the "old dude's" cube farm at work. Plus, they kicked him out of "Coders for Christ"

He's just feeling a little bitter, a little disappointed in life, and he needs to lash out. He'll be OK.

But I do worry about his nocturnal habbits. I didn't want to tell anyone, but I swear I saw him at the adult theater in Lake City last night (I was there for Christian outreach in my one-person campaign against porn). He told me his name was Joan, and that he was from Burien, but I could see him clearly through the inexpertly applied make-up and greasy sequins. But he was in the middle of a group of men the entire time, and didn't have much ability for further conversation, if you know what I mean.

No wonder he was so upset when his wife left. I bet they wear the same size.
