The Democrat National Convention

[albrecht]

Obama is a joke.

It didn't start with him but he is a BIG part of it. The problem is the bureaucracies and federal agencies (and the Courts) have now a mind, and motivation, of their own. Like any entity, I guess, to increase in size, defend their budgets, and consolidate their power- even if just for the sake of it. Companies can experience this also- but, without regulatory capture, or bail-outs, fail. Why they have so many lobbyists writing the rules and regs for them. (Laws also but the real stuff comes with the other, usually.) Not that Congress doesn't also (but there it is more of, often, to get elected and get "linked in" to the other.)

My wife banned me from watching the convention tonight.  Did I miss anything?

[MV/Liberace!]

you need to pick a different image source.  every single post of yours has an empty image placeholder.

No idea. I went out on a date with my future ex-wife. I hope that gasbag lame duck tripped over all the American flags... OH WAIT

Future ex-wife?! So the dry streak is over? You love this woman enough to marry and divorce her?! Sounds pretty special!

Dunno.  I was watching the Trump Speeches.

Obama is a joke.

And Shillary is the punch line!

Now why would you go out on a date with your future ex-wife?  Inquiring minds would like to know.

I need a better source. His one earlier I d/l and was great but the audio from the reporters was bad. It was supposedly the 'live' archived source (starts with sound checks etc) but in my system/dl I couldn't hear the reporter's questions that well. But from his replies and comments! Awesome stuff, especially the fundamental. Billary has given none of these for a year! And he does all the time.

I have a hunch that the debates, especially the first one, will be a ratings record breaker.

Would you translate this please, Aldous?  I don't speak democrat. :

[Dr. MD MD]

Truly, they look like something from the Blue Meanie side of things in the movie Yellow Submarine. 

[21st Century Man]

LOL.  I'll take that as a no.  My wife would have made me turn the TV off once Obama came on anyway.  When she hears his voice, she goes ballistic.  She's come a long way from the rather liberal girl that I married.

Great catch Doc!!!

Like Hillary said, "What does it matter?!" Just go with it!

We need a change from all this change.

[Dr. MD MD]

We need some change from all this change.

Well, I hope we all learned our lesson about not electing pandering pollsters and cynical sloganeers. Probably not but a guy can dream. 

[starrmtn001]

I popped in on my way to bed and wasn't planning on staying this long.  So, I bid you all a good night and a wonderful tomorrow.

Basically, we're fucked.

My only concern, and it is a small one but I will mention, Trump needs to keep on and not get sucked or respond to her, on her terms. She is a lawyer and a great dissembler and, obviously due to her family issues, has an ability to diffuse and project and obfuscate. And, despite equality, and her shrill, aggressive mannerism, has a whole populace indoctrinated in "keywords" and "phrases." And will play a victim of, oddly, femininity if needed. Likewise he is a businessman and some kind of show host so, hopefully, knows about keeping in charge and also understands taking control of the message, definitions, and argument. I'm not as familiar with that. But if you define the terms, at first you can, at minimum, usually, at least reach a draw.

This is cute. I like this. I didn't get to see the convention tonight because I was listening to AOTR.

[nooryisawesome]

NOT THE MOMMA

[Jackstar]

Because, if I were to go out on a date with my present ex-wife, she'd get intolerably jealous. I mean, come on, duh.

Hugh Hewitt this morning played the 119 self references Mr. Obama made during his speech last night.

"Way to go, buddy!  Feel free to keep her!"
