Katrinas specter: While Tampa has avoided a direct hit, Isaac risks presenting an even bigger problem for the convention planners here -- becoming a hurricane and slamming into Louisiana, Mississippi, and the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday. And politically, it has raised the specter of Hurricane Katrina. The New York Times: Republicans were wary of the optics of television coverage split between the revelry and partisanship surrounding Mr. Romneys nomination and the threat of the storm making landfall in Louisiana or Mississippi seven years to the week after Hurricane Katrina left an American city in ruins. The paper adds, It is the second consecutive time Republicans have had their conventions disrupted by the August storms.

What does this image of Romney make you think of?
For me it looked like something from the Communist era of Russia.
Someone HAS asked for Romney's Birth Certificate...

Dee Snider blasts Romney camp's use of Twisted Sister hit
Another election year and the Republicans are illegally using music:
After getting word that Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, used the band's biggest hit at a recent rally in Pennsylvania, Snider issued a statement to website
"I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my band Twisted Sister's song, 'We're Not Gonna Take It,' in any capacity," Snider said through his manager. "There is almost nothing he stands for that I agree with except the use of the [workout program] P90X."
"We're Not Gonna Take It" spent 15 weeks on the Hot 100 in the summer of 1984, topping out at No. 2, making it the band's biggest hit.

I hope the Starship and the writers of We Built this City are paying attention
You can bet your dollars that the GOPers will play that song next week and my money would be on them not paying for the rights to play it.
That is what they do!

We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page
Why Akin probably doesn’t exit today or tomorrow

Has anyone reminded Romney that the British did an excellent job on the Olympics?
And their security was very good as there were no attacks.
Job well done Brits!
