Here Comes the Circus!

Is anyone else giddy about the upcoming Democrat convention? I don't usually watch them, but this one promises to be different. The Democrat conventions are always a bit of a zoo. I remember watching with astonishment during the 1996 convention, when all the delegates broke into the macarena. I thought to myself, now THIS is who liberals are -- trendy and shallow. But this time, the radicals PROMISE to outdo themselves. One group says it will try to levitate the Denver Mint to protest capitalism. Another, Recreate 68, says it will bring chaos to the convention, as occurred at the 1968 convention in Chicago. That remains to be seen. As we saw with Cindy Sheehan's awful weight gain during her hunger strike, these ain't your daddy's radicals. Seems the Denver government is already in conflict. The Denver police say they will enforce pot laws, while the city council says they won't. Why doesn't this subject come up at the Republican conventions? A warehouse has been transformed into a temporary jail/processing center, with chain link cages topped with razor wire. Now, the police are thinking about removing the razor wire because they're afraid the protesters will deliberately cut themselves. Lawsuits and screams of TORTURE will no doubt follow. The protesters are calling it "Gitmo on the Platte." But, don't depend on the MSM for coverage, or you'll surely miss something. Fox will be the pool camera inside the convention. Michelle Malkin says she will cover things on her blog and on Hot Air. Popcorn, anyone?

Speechless. I am overwhelmed by the whole ---uh ---yeah---Circus. Or should we call it a zoo?

I prefer circus -- because every freak will have his own little sideshow.
