I don't think I can watch TV this week, but thank goodness for this place!!!!

I KNOW I cannot watch the convention. It will honestly make me so mad that I will lose it.

Not even sure I can watch Rachel or Ed, etc. I don't even want to see clips of the convention.

Thank goodness for the DU. It will keep me sane and informed this week!

Even though the Phillies aren't having a great year I'd much rather watch them lose than that mass collection of losers!

Get the popcorn and a glass of sherry. Lean back and let the horror wash over you.

But because of demographics and the perfect storm of their weak candidate versus our charismatic one, plus the Tea Party attacking them from within, I think this is the most ineffectual group of GOP hate-mongers we have seen in a very long time.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
