The Crawdad Hole 
Hasn’t Ted Strickland used a microphone before? He doesn’t need to yell.
They are ALL yelling
Megyn Kelly said it’s a smaller venue than last week and they have cranked the volume up to eleven.
This is a train wreck. It’s all coming across as very frantic.
Honk!
I’m glad you guys are watching so I don’t have to! Thank you.
Me too. i’m watching the Sox. (getting killed by the Twins)
I plan to watch a movie after I feed the cats and make dinner.
Honk!
Kathleen Sebelius likes Obamacare
I’m sure it pays well, and she’s accountable to nobody.
I could be wrong, but I think the Dems must have some BAD internal polling on women. Because I cannot for the life of me figure out any other reason they’d be going this route. I am pro-choice, but not politically stupid. I know that 62% of voters want at least some restrictions on abortion. A big chunk are full-on prolife. VERY few view it as something to celebrate. Sorry, that’s just reality.
Doing a very public abortionpalooza is a BAD idea, unless he is slipping so badly with women that they are desperate.
ITA. Their internal polls must be awful. They’ve even lost pro-choice women like me as I refuse to be beaten with the abortion stick and will be voting third party (or, as my better half says, second party since the uni-party counts as one).
It’s a bad idea even IF they’re tanking among women, but it perfectly expresses how stale, clueless, and out of touch this party is. Social issues don’t mean SHIT this year. But they haven’t figured that out yet.
He (we) can. You make a list, then just watch that list.
Here come the attacks on R&R
Nice pic of the donkey, but you’re not going to see one at this convention. it’s nothing but stupid O signs now.
That’s Joe Biden
lol
One of the things that struck me most about this year’s GOP convention is that all those “social issues” that they are supposedly “obsessed with” were barely even mentioned. That was NOT true in the past – I’ve watched enough conventions to know.
The Dems are the ones cranking up the crazy this year. Down is up.
Good catch. The GOP’s criticism of Empty Chair wasn’t angry. Sounds like the Dems are losing it.
They can’t run on their record, so they have to demonize the opponent. Obama’s likeability numbers have fallen and Romney’s have not risen a lot, but a bit, so given his abysmal record, they have to destroy the other option. Fear fear fear fear fear.
Now Rahmbo is up
Consigliere Emanuel knows where the bodies are buried.
Yep.
He should, he buried them.
I think they are averaging over 10 shootings a night! 👿
If you don’t have Twitter you need to get it.
Don’t have it , so tell us what’s trending.
Uhg, what a train wreck. I turned it off, the energy is frantic, hysterical, the speakers are screaming, but they really don’t have anything to say.
The diversity is also so over done it feels really phony and theatrical. In real life, you don’t see a Hawaiian in a grass skirt sitting next to a woman in a burka, next to a woman in a sparkly evening grown with Obama’s face in rhinestones.
“Frantic” was exactly the word I reached for trying to describe this. It’s forced and manic.
Manic is a good word. They’re all trapped in some sort of Dean scream or something. The energy is so forced it feels phony.
Morning joe sounded really creepy this morning,. Mika was gushing over everything any Democrat said. I thought she was going to molest one of the governors (I think from CT). I really had to turn it off. Usually, lately I get ready for work with Morning Joe on – it energizes me – gets me into a fighting mood. i’m ready for the commute.
but this morning, I thought she was going to have an orgasm simply being on the same stage with” all those men”. The only other woman was Andrea Mitchell (who was actually saying that Romney’s number s seemed to be better in NC than TehOnce.)
Doesn’t Mika recognize the disparity between the numbers of men and women who appear on the program? I do. And it is even more pronounced after having seen the powerful/elected women who spoke last week at the GNC.
Obama and Women
“The decline has occurred entirely among women registered voters – from 57-39 percent favorable-unfavorable in April to a numerically negative 46-50 percent now. That’s Obama’s lowest score among women voters – a focus of recent political positioning – in ABC/Post polls since he took office. Unusually, his rating among men, 50-47 percent favorable-unfavorable, is numerically better than it is among women, albeit not by a significant margin.”

Kal Penn speaking.
Telling us how wonderful Obama is.
Tuition tax credit!!! Woot!
I had to turn the thing off. I’m getting a migraine. WTH ? No, seriously, I’ve watched many Dem conventions, even attended some, but after tonight, I don’t want anybody to know that. This is downright embarrassing.
It’s terrible. Apparently no one told them what microphones are for.
Maya Soetoro speaking…she calls him Brock.
ROFL!
Now MO’s bro. Never noticed before, but he looks just like her.
I stopped watching the crazy. Thanks to those still doing it so we don’t have too. Watching the DNC is like watching a group of people smoking pot or being blitzed out drunk while you’re cold sober. It’s fine when everyone is silly, but as soon as they get serious and think they’re making sense, it gets painful to watch.
It’s a struggle, I’ve got the sound down to barely audible & it’s still hard to take.
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime MO uses the word “a” in front of a word that starts with a noun! 👿
Should be interesting. I’ve never heard her string two simple sentences together without f’ing it up.
And now, a message from our sponsors..
I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep telling people they’re better off today then they were four years ago. If you’re living in your parents basement waiting for your food stamps to come, people telling you you’re better off than you were is like pouring salt in a wound.
Or if you’ve moved out of the country because, say, you lost your job while you were 9 months pregnant and couldn’t afford both to house and insure your children. Not that I’m bitter.
the koolaid must have been extra concentrated this time…
Ahhhhh, sweet relief. My ears are still ringing, but these photos took the edge off.
Here’s a look at what the secretary of state has been up to while other Democrats gather in Charlotte, N.C.

Hannity is shredding some Hollywood lib.
Boxer is performing an abortion on stage. Nancy will be shooting pingpong balls with her reconstructed vage.
Deval Patrick yelling at the crowd.
John Podhoretz@jpodhoretz
Listen up to Deval Patrick’s speech because Obama will give the same one on Thursday.
“Bullied out of office…’ Huh?
Didn’t know you could bully a president.
What happened to the bully pulpit?
Playing a new card tonight…the victim card. You just have to kind of ignore the fact that they’re talking about the most powerful man on the planet.
Let’s talk about “bullies,” Deval, you nasty, lying little prick.
How many points did Hillary win MA by in the 2008 primary? 10??
The voters wanted Hillary.
And who did Deval bully the MA delegation into voting for??
He knows plenty about bullying.
Fuck Deval Patrick.
Wake up, Massachusetts, and get your heads out of your assholes.
Tweety loves him some Deval Patrick
One of the neighbor blogs is loving him too. They are all loving on Duval over there- barn burner of a speech! Duval for preezy!
Please, no! We’d just have to listen to recycled speechs: Patrick/B0/patrick/yada yada yada….
“Forward – Not Back”
That’s definitely mockable…and gives a new meaning to the concept of an echo chamber.
Hope that’s the only speech the audience is forced fed response lines. Once was painful enough.
Ouch.
That’s it – the Giants game is on.
LOL! The kid is thrashing around in the other room, yelling, “make it stop, make it stop!” I guess the remote isn’t working anymore and the TV’s stuck on cspan.
One guy I never heard of introducing another guy I never heard of.
This is like a remake of Marco Rubio’s speech.
I’m sorry, but this Castro guy the MSM have been gushing over is not good looking AT ALL. I don’t like him.
Please note: RNC had an Hispanic GOVERNOR & an Hispanic US SENATOR and MSM called them “tokens” while the DNC had to dig up a MAYOR of San Antonio, for cripessake, to have an Hispanic speaker & the MSM is over the moon at the Dem “diversity” calling this two-bit Mayor a “rising star.”
How much effect does a mayor have over a city’s prosperity? Any changes they make (like attracting new business) take years to show effects.
I don’t know about Texas but California mayors have next to nothing to do with schools.
I live in San Antonio. He sucks. Camera hog who works short hours.
So, he’s like an Hispanic Obama — no wonder the MSM love him so much.
And he has exactly Jack Shit to do with schools. That’s all state and the school boards.
Dana Loesch has the scoop on him:
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/04/Meet-The-New-Obama-Julian-Castro
Is he at least less embarrassing than San Antonio’s most famous mayor, Cisneros?
I heard the Dems are grooming him to be the new Barack.
Doesn’t Rick Perry deserve some of the credit for San Antonio’s success?
A mexican american mayor of san antonio. Shocker. 👿
Dumb asses! 👿
He’s smug. And boring. Yep, he could definitely be the next Barack.
Mo will say ‘schtrong’ and Brr-ock…guaranteed. The really big question is will her dress actually FIT just this one time ?
Honest to goodness conner43!!!
I thought I was the only person alive who quaked at MO shlurring her
s-t-r’s —->SCHTRONG – excellent ! And she will and she’ll say schtreet and schtrength and anything else that begins with s-t-r.
It has got so bad here in chicago, that I now hear news anchors pronouncing those words the same way. (It’s kinda like they’re afraid that if they pronounce words correctly, they’ll be banned for life from the WH)
Oh no, it’s contagious! Do they all have huge underbites too?
The Democrats are making a mistake by attacking Romney so much.
He’s not the one in office.
https://twitter.com/llondo/statuses/243165980879110145
Is he still talking?
Yes. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hahahahaha! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2198206/Democrats-set-Obamas-big-speech-74-000-seater-outdoor-stadium-20-000-seater-indoor-arena.html
Michelle Obama video explaining how she started out as the impoverished child of a government employee.
Marco Scutaro hit a 1-out triple in the bottom of the first.
Panda at the plate
Sacrifice – Giants lead 1-0
Why do we need to see bio videos about the Obamas? We already know who they are.
They want a remake of 2008, when he was a blank screen. Ain’t happening, dummies.
Really?
I still don’t know who he is and he’s been preezy for the past 3+ years.
Thombody hath a lithp
CNN contributor (and Red State editor) Erik Ericson getting heat for tweeting 2 hours ago:

god but they all suck.
Well, IMHO he *is* kind of an ass. Not that the Dems are any better.
Oh Christ, I don’t think I can watch this.
Puke! 👿
What’s she wearing??? ISn’t that the most important question of the night?
Something sleeveless and tight on top. Peach, I think.
When it comes to Michelle, her astoundingly awful choice of clothing *is* the most interesting thing about her.
Julián Castro’:
“But the biggest symbol of his status of a “new generation” of Latino leaders might be the fact he does not speak Spanish. That’s not uncommon in San Antonio’s Latino community, but it is for a national Latino political leader. His mother says she is the reason he does not know the language; she spoke to him only in English as a child. Castro is trying to learn the Spanish now (he can understand interview questions asked in Spanish and speaks some phrases), and acknowledges it could help his political career if he knew the language better.”
http://univisionnews.tumblr.com/post/30815792159/julian-castro-latino-obama-democratic-keynote-speech
Seem like the DNC could find an Hispanic pol who could speak Spanish!
they can find a Hispanic pol who speaks Spanish. But they have to get someone from the GOP.
Why would you not give your kids the benefit of 2 languages if possible? This is a big issue Chez Jadzia–the kids learn French out and about, at school, from relatives, and from radio/TV, and the ones who are of talking age are all fluent by now. But we always speak English to them at home so that they don’t lose it, and so far, none of them have. Even the one who wasn’t talking yet when we moved here speaks really good English. We’ll see what ends up happening with the baby.
FLOTUS’ speech sounded better in the original Klingon.
Bwahaha! I turned it off at the point where she looked like she was going to emote herself into a puddle on the floor.
If only!
Like the witch in the Wizard of Oz.
“I’m melting…”
Giants/D-Backs, Dodgers/Padres all tied at 1 apiece.
Sox losing to the Twins 18 -4 or something like that. I’m glad I went to last night.’s game.
New drinking game: Take a shot every time Michelle says that affected “Y’see” or does that fake stutter to make her sound spontaneous.
Do I have to listen to play?
Uh oh…I would be under the table already.
Interesting that Michelle stole Condi’s color.
OT: New post going live at P&L in 60 seconds: http://peacocksandlilies.com/2012/09/04/o-b-a-m-a-2008-2012
The Obama’s stealing things from other pols —- shocking.
She went “cheap” (for her) too — Tracy Reese runs about $300 to $600 for a cocktail dress like the one she’s wearing.
So she stopped with the Donna Ricco dresses? Those were the only ones that I actually liked! Relatively affordable and very flattering for ladies with hips.
Come on, what is she going to do? Throw herself? That would just piss off the gods.
Run Solyndra/Forrest….Run!

Er, this does not come off as a party for a confident group of people. I guess that means ix-nay on the styrofoam Greek columns? How the mighty have fallen.
Wait…why are Dems speaking to God? Isn’t He under the bus?
I just went to twitter, and I swear this was the second comment in my thread or whatever it is called.
Jake Tapper@jaketapper

It’s the important question of the night. 🙂
http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/09/04/television-stations-could-start-using-drones-to-cover-news-stories/
I could not stop laughing when I read this. I thought they uses drones and stenos already to gather news. They sure do not use investigative reporters
I refuse to watch the DNC convention, but after reading the comments here, it seems the Democrats are again making Obama the center of adoration and lifting him higher and higher. Ugh!
Am I too old to start “cutting”? I am putting myself back on suicide watch if I have to hear about the obama struggles again. :wvil:
Please no cutting – just pour another glass of wine.
How about posting something that makes you laugh from the great youtube collection.
After listening to that odious woman, who needs gin ? It’s possible to get a blinding headache without it, but not nearly as much fun.
ayup
Krauthammer said she did a great speech, and she was essentially selling Obama as another Gandhi. Then he said that he is no Gandhi and gave the example of how he treated Paul Ryan when Ryan came out with his budget plan. (on Fox news)
I have watched with gritted teeth today. And I have a confession—–I went to the pool and was swimming laps through most of Michelle’s speech. I did hear the final 10 minutes.
And today my blog was invaded by obots who wanted to know who I thought I was voting for Romney, what kind of woman was I. And I wasn’t the only one. Memories of 2008. Deleted all….hahahahahahaha
Yep, they’re baaaack. But they don’t seem to be putting their hearts into it this time.
agree DandyTiger—there is an edge of desperation
Glad you deleted! Good for you! My high blood pressure started during the primaries in 2008. I tried to listen to some of the Dem convention tonight. I lasted about 15 seconds and I could feel my blood pressure rising, so I turned it off. I am just as angry today as I was on May 31, 2008. I still can’t believe what a bunch of a$$holes the bots are.
Angels are up 4-1 over Oakland…
So sorry to miss the DNC /s
Not!
In “what’s pissing me off on FB” news — idiot Obot friends are praising Bill Clinton’s economic policies while President are the exact same ones who were calling him a racist back in 2008.
Assholes.
I listened to the lying wife of the liar . Problem is my memories are too vivid of her saying things like ” If you cant run your own house you cant the White House” and to Larry King ( I tried to find the video ) that she would have to THINK ABOUT voting for Hillary if she won the primary , and so many more memories of her nastiness .
Most of the latest ABC poll is not being released, but ABC released the portion dealing with the candidate favorability ratings. Women have begun to see Romney more favorably, while Obama is losing on that point:
I remember that. Michelle said voting for Hillary would ‘depend on her tone!”
What a nasty bitch.
this ad came out today about the debt. I thought it was effective…
That’s an excellent ad. Romney has lots of firepower by using Obama’s own words.
My Obama fatigue notwithstanding , I like the idea of his own words being used against him !
did anyone watch the reaction of Michelle’s brother? I thought he started getting anxious when her nose started growing…
by the way, I recall Michelle saying in a magazine that she had a Barbie dream house as a child. The only kids I knew growing up that had that were upper middle class.
We had “paper dolls”. No Barbie in my house.
👿
We played with rocks. Used ones.
We made our own Barbie house and furniture. Old boxes, thread spools, etc, and banana split boats made a great bath tub.
You had banana splits! 😉 We did what you did. Used boxes and anything we could find. I cut up old magazines and glued them on the insides of the boxes to look like the different rooms of the dream box house. Used shoes for Barbie’s cars.
No Barbie here. I had the Johnny and Jane West family, but I made the ranch out of boxes. Had the barn for the horses. I drew and colored the furnishings.
