Dem Denver dog day afternoon

The Dem national convention finally gets underway this evening and I'm deciding if I should watch any of it. I think I might be able to stomach the coverage on PBS or C-SPAN, maybe MSNBC in small doses. Definitely can't tolerate CNN or FNC, though.

Speedo's campaign is running another of the anti-Obama ads that congealed like frozen snot since the Dem VP selection was announced. This one is called something like "Passed Over" and bemoans the fact Mrs. Clinton didn't get picked even though she won MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of primary votes. Why did Barry jack her around ? Because she spoke THE TROOF about him, of course.

Speedo is setting new records for total dickwaddery every single day, a real flaming asshole. The new ad is obviously intended to exploit the fact many so-called Democrats are pissed about Hillary's second-place finish to a N and are threatening to vote for Speedo, at least according to recent newspaper items. Not taking any chances, the Wild Rovers have chosen to spray fresh gasoline on the embers hoping the POW will really get the so-called PUMA vote. Fuck it, he's welcome to those pathetic losers.

If national opinion polls prove anything, it's that at least 50 percent of the people in this country are so damned dumb, they shouldn't be allowed to move freely among the rest of us. Most Repubs are in that category, and now we can add the PUMAs. Based on the news articles, the PUMAs are apparently old, uneducated, and low-income. Sounds like the demographic once known as "po' white trash."

If you want to be a serious candidate for public office in the US, you're supposed to identify with and relate to these dipsticks and their numerous problems. If you can't, you get stuck with the elitist tag. Personally, I want to be in the elitist group. Every day I try hard to avoid being mistaken for one of those god-fearing hard-workin' Americans that call themselves PUMAs now.

Mrs. bee wanted to see Mrs. Obama's speech so we watched bits and pieces of the Dem convention until her arrival at the podium. I tried a little CNN but it just didn't work for me. Finally we realized that C-SPAN was the only place to get the experience with nothing reflected and distorted through the prism of cable news talking head bullshit.

I hadn't seen Mrs. Obama give a speech, but from what I've been reading on the internet, she's a scary radical communist black militant. Turns out she's apparently none of those things. Her speech was beautifully written and delivered with an enviable degree of eloquence. Mrs. bee summed it up accurately when she declared that Mrs. O was an asset to her husband.

Never one to leave well enough alone, I decided to see if I could zigzag my way through a quick sampling of the cable news channels, see how the speech was being critiqued, and move on without getting shit on my shoes. I almost made it too, until I landed at Fox News where Karl Rove was describing a different speech than the one I watched. I listened to that sick fuck about one minute then called it a night.
