We may be paying too much attention to the upcoming national GOP convention to be held in Tampa. The Democrats, perhaps trying to steal our attention back, have just released a schedule of their ceremonies and festivities to be held at their convention in Charlotte, North Carolina as follows:
Humor
This is really funny…
The question is…why? (You can buy one HERE, incidentally.)
Obama Soup – the ingredients
(H/T: Trouble)
The President addresses Congress assembled! About…the DEBT BOMB.
SING it! (And watch it through to the end…to the end of…the countdown.)
Sometimes, we all feel just a little cross in the morning….
Especially on a Friday the 13th. Don’t push it, bud…. (H/T: Karen)

Seeing eye dogs are put into service in the Middle East….
However, it has been necessary to make cultural adjustments, especially in the case of blind Muslim women who need seeing eye dogs. Here’s a recent picture of one such helper dog, which has been fitted with a special garment to make it culturally acceptable….
You Might Be A Liberal
Joseph Harris, who writes all over the place but also happens to post at Allrightmagazine.com (where I cross-post some content), has collected a Baker’s dozen +4 phrases on the theme of “You Might Be A Liberal If.”
Spun from the “You Might Be A Redneck” schtick of Jeff Foxsworthy, “You might be a liberal” is a leading phrase loaded with opportunity.
I Invite you to share your own variations on this theme in comments, but for the purpose of this post I am going to steal Joe’s list. (In social media we call this sharing.)
See – it doesn’t have to cost thousands to have a hot tub!
Redneck Hot Tub: (H/T: There, I fixed it)
California – land of fun, sun, & beaches….and $16 Billion deficits, onerous biz regulations, and Democrat control
Especially with Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown now saying that only with higher taxes can California get out of their bind. Umm, Jerry? Your taxes are already among the highest in the nation…that’s not enough? (H/T: John D)
Picture of Air Show Disaster. Photo taken at moment of crash shows amazing detail….
This picture is tough to look at. It shows the dangers of attending these airshow events. The photo shows the aircraft slamming into four buildings. The pilot flying at low level had obviously lost control over his aircraft, narrowly missing a nearby crowd about to enter the buildings. One can only imagine the horror of the occupants….
Humor: Compare and Contrast – cats vs dogs
I just need a laugh – this worked:
“Why some single women prefer cats to a boyfriend!”
#1. Cats don’t leaver the toilet seat up.
#2. Cats don’t leave whiskers in the sink.
#3. Cats don’t need to shave in order to look good laying about.
#4. Cats provide soothing moral support without needing to offer advice.
#5. Cats never neglect their grooming, nor comment on yours.
#6. Cats never hog the covers or snore.
#7. Cats never borrow your pantyhose to go snowmobiling.
On the other hand:
“Why Some Men Have a Dog And No Wife”
1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs don’t notice if you call them by another dog’s’ name.
3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor, especially food.
4. A dog’s parents never visit.
5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
6. Dogs find you amusing when you’re drunk.
7. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
8. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, “If I died, would you get another dog?”
9. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
10. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
11. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad, they just think it’s interesting.
12. A dog never asks you an impossible question, such as: “Does this flea collar make me look fat?
13. Dogs love it when you drive with their window open.
14. Dogs think it’s perfectly normal to check out the butts of passing females on the street.
And last but not least:
15. If a dog leaves, it won’t take half of your stuff.
To test this theory: ?Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour.
Mark Steyn again: On dog-eating, exploding cigars, and “self-loathing cultural relativism”….
Mark Steyn continues a recent rampage! And damn is he good. Freestater Mark Steyn (pace the Democrats: In New Hampshire we are all Freestaters now) is on a red-hot roll, if not a full-blown tantara! When it comes
to Obama and the “We-Are-All-Socialists-Now” Democrats, Steyn’s newly re-energized acidulousness is bracing! Take no prisoners! I mean…consider our President’s penchant for dog-eating: Steyn notes that it won’t hurt the President with certain Democrat voters, because “he knows that to the average upscale white liberal it has the electric frisson of the exotic other.”
“Exotic other”? “Electric frisson”? Oh yeah. Referencing other culinary choices from the “exotic other” that might give those Democrats electric frissons, Steyn writes: “I’m not suggesting that President Obama has eaten a human penis, because, if he had, he’d almost certainly have boasted about it to the impressionable NPR ninnies who gobbled up his memoirs. But I am suggesting…
