The Stranger Suggests
Politics
Democratic National Convention
Check out this heee-larious new reality show in which normal, everyday Democrats are videotaped and forced to live together for days in a filthy convention center. Watch as they ramble on incessantly about politics while drinking and screwing themselves silly. But here's the twist! Instead of winning a million dollars, one lucky contestant is eventually chosen to leave the convention center and lead the country for at least four years! (ABC/NBC, debuts Mon Aug 25.)
WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
I hear someone's getting voted off tomorrow.
Ah, the age old question for Americans: shall I elect a hard core right wing nut job or a light core right wing black guy.
Wake me when you democrats nominate a liberal okay? I am voting for a third party from now on.
You win either way, Cato. If the Democrats nominate a candidate you'd like, they'd BE a third party.
Question: when do the delegates actually vote? I can't find it anywhere on the website.
YEAH for Corporate Control of America!!! Right On!!!!!
This is what we are being asked to vote for Boys and Girls. This isn't your grandparents Democratic Party for sure! The party when the nominee in 1936 said "it has been said that the captian of industry have met their match, now let them say they have met their master!" Madison Square Garden October 1936.

Even before I saw the byline, I thought this reeked of the kind of 'snarky' writing found on blogtown. Why can't it stay there?
p.s. Fire Humphrey!
@6,
Sorry, Cato. You're going to have to wait for the next Great Depression for a candidate like that. If you and your whiny compadres help throw the election to McCain, you won't have to wait much longer.
Nothing wrong with convention sex.
A lot of good relationships come out of it ...

@8, I will take pleasure in watching you dig around in garbage bins looking for food scraps no matter who gets elected. The process is just slower with Obama and faster with McCain.
@4 - Wednesday night. When I was there in 2004, it took until almost midnight before the W states got to vote, and it was anticlimactic at that point; the other states' delegations and the media were all out partying by the time we got to vote.
I should clarify that, in the above, "W states" refers to states whose names begin with the letter W, not states voting for the Idiot Incumbent.
@11: To paraphrase Keynes, in the long run we're all dead anyway. No nation in history has yet discovered the secret to postponing its decline and fall indefinitely, so really, fast and slow are the only choices there are.
