A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall

Today's update: Tropical Storm Isaac is relentlessly making its way toward the Florida coast, threatening at least two days of the Rethuglican National Convention (allow us a little Schadenfreude: bwahahahaha!). We obviously don't wish harm on anyone, whether involved in the convention or just private citizens. But anything (most particularly an "Act of God") that disrupts the plans of the Rethugs to "tell their story" is just too deliciously ironic for words.

Stormy Weather

The Rethuglican convention begins next Monday in Tampa, and there are big storm clouds on the horizon -- in addition to the ones generated by their insanely reactionary positions on women's issues. Hurricane Isaac is tracking westward through the Caribbean and may strike the Tampa area early next week, forcing Rethug delegates out of Tampa strip clubs to modify their convention schedule.

While the hurricane won't be anywhere near a Katrina-type category 5 event, it would be amusing to see stranded Rethug delegates, their convention hall surrounded by water, waving white hankies to hovering Gummint rescue helicopters.
