"Everything's Cool"

A former DNC chairman and a South Carolina Congressman discuss, with much humor, the prospect of a Hurricane hitting New Orleans this week.

Yes, You Can.

Surely He Wouldn't Say One Thing and Do Another...

It seems that Rep. Whiplash will indeed be attending the Coronation and Annointing Ceremony, I mean, Democratic National Convention, despite his earlier insistence that he'd be too busy to attend.

I guess when you're not signing discharge petitions, not voting on offshore drilling, and not attempting to do your job, you find the time to meet with your sponsors.

For Me, Not For Thee

So just to get this straight: A gas tax holiday is bad for the consumer according to Sen. Messiah, but ok for the Democrat party elite?

Good to see someone is calling BS on this, and getting it exactly right.

"The DNC is not government. The RNC is not government," said Faatz, who, at the time, had been told that the "same exact thing" was happening in Minneapolis-St. Paul. "They are political parties and they are putting on a huge party, and that is not providing services to each and every citizen each day."

The RNC, by the way, says they're paying at the pump, just like you and me.

No Wonder Taylor and Whiplash Ain't Going

And people wonder why we think that they're a bunch of nanny-state do-gooders. Do the members of the Cholesterol Crew know about this?

DENVER — Warning to Southern delegates to the 2008 Democratic National
Convention in Denver this August: it will be a no-fry zone.

As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats' guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food.

No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything.

In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include "at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white."

"It's the new patriotism," says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.

However, if presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain starts gaining in the polls on Barack Obama, who will accept the Democratic nomination in Denver, the Democrats may find they've got bigger fish to fr? - uh, make that - bake.
