May the Great Earth Goddess Gaia (we know how Democrats are uncomfortable with the word "God") bless the Democratic Party for a great day of political comedy.
First, we had the abrupt flip-flop on the removal of references to God from their party platform, along with their Muslim-influenced reference to Jerusalem's elimination as the capital of Israel being restored by a voice-vote.
Although anyone with ears could tell the vote was evenly divided, failed LA Mayor Villaraigosa, as chairman, ruled it a two-thirds vote in favor of restoration under the direction of the Muslim-sympathizing president who belatedly recognized he'd stepped in a pile of camel dung.
The party-split was evident, with Muslim delegates making up a loud part of the half shrieking "NO!"
This, of course, left hysterical Democrat myth-makers like Sen. Dick "Head" Durbin hung out to dry after protesting that the presence or absence of a few mere words in the party platform meant nothing. Public reaction told Obama otherwise.
Then came the parade of leftist losers lamenting the loss of jobs at failed companies (in whose economy?) appealing to the sympathies of a bunch of slack-jawed mouth-breathers who think money-losing enterprises should be kept going (likely with government subsidies) to protect them. ("Bring back those buggy-whip manufacturers! Those jobs must be saved! Otherwise they'll be out-sourced to Kazakhstan!")
It resembled nothing more than a gathering of San Francisco communists.
*** Personal note: I have lost jobs, for various reasons -- including having companies being sold -- five times. The lesson is: adapt to changing circumstances, move on and if necessary, move out -- to where the jobs are. I've worked from Miami to Seattle. If you're married to one little place on earth, you limit your options.***
Then came last night's greatest comedy of all. Billy Jeff Clinton, the ol' hillbilly whorehopper-cum-snake-oil salesman, doing his pitch for a president he's well known to detest.
Why? Because he has to retain the loyalty of Democrat lemmings in order to get his sock-puppet wife, who's never accomplished anything on her own, nominated in 2016.
Give Bill this, however: as a speaker, even -- and especially -- when he's telling whopping lies, he's so smooth he makes Obama sound like a sixth-grader stumbling through the school play. Of course, being Clinton, his speech ran on forever.
So thank you, Democrats, for putting on an entertaining convention show that resembles nothing so much as an extended episode of The Three Stooges.

I do feel let down that Elizabeth Warren, the pretend-Indian who's running for the Senate in Massachusetts, failed to conclude her litany of misery with an enthusiastic war whoop.

That $16 trillion national debt has effectively been run up on your credit card by other people. Each American household's share of that bill is over $136,000. And it will be paid, either by burdening the next generation(s) or printing more dollars, each worth less and less. So sit back and watch your retirement nest-egg disappear, thanks to a bunch of irresponsible liars and crooks in Washington! In a serious country, they'd be tried for treason.
If you're an actual taxpayer and not a parasite of the sort cultivated and multiplied by Obama, you have every right and reason to be totally PO'd. Only idiots -- and those who can profit from his scurrilous policies -- could possibly support this supporating boil on the body politic.
Oh, excuse me! Was I being insensitive?
"Better off than four years ago?" Puh-leeeze ...

After getting caught in a web of her own lies, the Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee is now ready to star in a piece of political pornography that might be titled, "Debbie Does Duplicity."
I wonder if trees are being chopped-down in Israel in the name of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. (If that reference is too vague, ask any Jewish friend to explain.)

Only people as stupid as Democrats would actually believe that there's a Republican plot to ban birth control. The only message to the banshees wailing such nonsense is, "If you want it, buy it for yourself; it's cheap. And by what logic do you believe it's somebody else's responsibility to pay for you to get laid?"
Come to think of it, when can we expect taxpayers be required to pay for horny men to visit a whorehouse? Government-run, of course.Think that's ridiculous? Some European socialist countries have similar "benefits" already.
- - - - -
How pathetic. Obama and his socialist campaign plotters realize his own record in office is so lame, they're running on the achievements (?) of Bill Clinton and dead-Ted.
Reader Phil contributes this pithy observation in response to the Democrats' totally bogus nonsense about a Republican "war on women" ...
"Ted Kennedy is the only politician with a confirmed kill in the War on Women."

Does it occur to anyone that the Democrat mania for free abortions and expanded homosexual acceptance could carry within it the solution to the problem of leftists reproducing?
- - - - -
Just judging from the speeches at the convention, one feels compelled to ask, "Does the Democratic Party contain anyone who wasn't raised in poverty?

Here's the latest list of the world's most economically competitive countries:
1 -Switzerland
2 - Singapore
3 - Finland
4 - Sweden
5 - Netherlands
6 - Germany
...and where is the economic "superpower?" Ah, there it is ... ta-ta! At #7 - USA.
Note that none are the "poor" countries blamed by some for "stealing our jobs."

Thomas Sowell repeats a truth that Obamunists won't admit ...
"When businesses advertise one thing and then actually sell something else, that is called 'bait and switch' advertising. That is exactly what President Obama is doing with his proposed tax increases on 'millionaires and billionaires.'
"(Liberal Democrat) President Woodrow Wilson himself urged Congress to reconsider whether very high tax rates are in fact 'productive of revenue' to the government. He said that, beyond some point, 'high rates of income and profits taxes discourage energy, remove the incentive to new enterprise, encourage extravagant expenditures, and produce industrial stagnation with consequent unemployment and other attendant evils.' That sounds a lot like where we are today.
"Those hardest hit by high tax rates that drive jobs overseas are likely to be those who are unemployed and need jobs here. Ironically, millionaires and billionaires may have the least to lose from higher tax rates on "the rich." But Barack Obama has the most to gain from class warfare rhetoric that wins votes from gullible people."

Do with it what you will, but a survey finds that 50% more tattooed voters plan to vote for Obama than Romney. Presumably, that includes women who have the "tramp-stamp" on the lower back.

What's wrong with presidents, both Democrat and Republican, who keep hiring that two-faced phony, David Gergen, as an "advisor?"

Ponder this: Food prices are skyrocketing -- and will get much worse -- because of the corn shortage created by the midwestern drought. Yet the burocratic fools in our government are still wasting it on that noxious ethanol junk that causes air pollution and gives poor mileage. How smart would even a Democrat politician have to be in order to say, "Stop this insanity and get out of the way of oil production!"?

Breitbart News does the fact-checking that the butt-kissing Big Media omitted from their coverage of Michelle Obama's devious speech ...
"Michelle Obama has benefited from vast exaggerations of her 'working-class origins,' substituting a humble single-room residence for what was in fact a middle-class home, and obscuring the fact that her family shared in the spoils from the Democratic Party's regime of (segregated) patronage in Richard Daley's Chicago.
"If Barack Obama was an impoverished student, for example, it would certainly have been news to his friends, who included rich Pakistani socialites. He dabbled in recreational drugs such as cocaine--hardly a cheap thrill--and traveled to Indonesia and Pakistan while still at college. Barack Obama is known to have a penchant for exaggeration, having embellished much of his memoir; it seems that tendency is shared
by his wife as well.'

Your lying Big Media have been at it for a long, long time. Take note:
"What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender. It was the same at the battle of Tet. You defeated us. We knew it and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender." -- General VoNguyen Giap, North Vietnamese military commander during the Vietnam war, in his memoirs.
Thank you, Walter Cronkite, et al. Does anyone dare use the "T" word?

If you're a fan of college football -- as I am -- you've probably noticed the thousands of empty seats at big-power college stadia.
I submit there are two reasons. First, the wretched Obama economy has hurt attendance at almost all sporting events. Secondly, who wants to buy tickets to watch a football powerhouse pummel some pitiful lads from a lower-division school?
It's a shameful fact of life in the big football-factory schools and while its understandable that administrators of small (football-wise) colleges will take the big paycheck for sending their hopelessly overmatched young men to be cannon fodder, it's also shameful.
Shameful that they'll risk serious, perhaps permanent, injuries to players they know very well cannot compete with the big guys. And shameful that big powers fatten their records with these slaughterhouse matchups. I applaud the athletic directors of schools like Alabama and Michigan that chose to open their seasons against each other.
At least they did it this year.
Unlike Florida State, which massacred poor little Murray State and is compounding the crime by next playing Savannah State, which is coming off an 84-0 loss to big, bad Oklahoma State.
The whole thing is sick.

Jay Z, the rock and rap promoter who is married to Beyonce, put on a concert called "Made in America." It was sponsored by Budweiser. Which is made by Anheuser Busch. Which belongs to a Belgian company.

Craig Ferguson --
"Former Democratic nominee John Kerry is going to give a speech about foreign policy. It will be like Clint Eastwood's speech except this time the empty chairs will be in the audience."

Jimmy Fallon --
"There are reports that nine of the hotels being used for politicians at the Democratic National Convention have bedbugs. When asked what it’s like to have to deal with thousands of ruthless bloodsuckers, the bedbugs were like, 'Eh, it’s OK.'”
