Hi what's this, that maybe-hurricane from yesterday is now probably an absolutely hurricane, which will hit Tampa Monday morning, and the city, which is run by total pussy Dems (see above), may cancel the Republican Convention! Stop laughing at the Republicans getting hit with two conventiocanes in a row, and start worrying about your Editrix, who is supposed to fly into Tampa at just exactly the same time Tropical Storm Isaac is expected to transform into a Category 1 hurricane and bomb the convention center to smithereens! Your Editrix is from California. SHE DOES NOT LIKE HURRICANES, she only likes fires and earthquakes!
Oh yeah, those are fun. But I just sit tight in my home with my woodstove and don't go anywhere. Is pretty to watch snow falling. Couple of years ago I agreed to be in a winter show at our local theatre, despite vows never to do a winter show again, and godammit if every single rehearsal night wasn't a blizzard or freezing rain. Never again.
One of the great things about Wonkette is that the commenters actually make an effort to use proper English. Much less grating on my nerves than Cough! Huff Po! Cough!
Best thing about being a teacher is that if they cancel the buses for bad conditions, we all get to stay home. Which since I have to drive through 4 deep creek valleys on my way to work (steep hills + icy, snowy roads= me shitting my pants) is a good thing.
My favorite part of hurricanes is when some stupid Weather Channel reporter stands outside a hotel in 80 MPH winds wearing expensive rain-resistant clothes and tries to explain how high-speed winds feel. This event is so appropriate for the GOP convention. Along with strippers and rent boys.
What a tragedy for democracy if this utterly pointless 4-day pep rally/payback-to-loyal-party-apparatchiks event were to be cancelled! Let's see: work on the party platform, which no one reads or adheres to, will be terminated. However will the candidates know about the important issues their party constituents have assembled to address? Where will all the balloons go? Will no one cover the one dipshit "ironically" wearing a "Stop Stassen" button?
O the humanity!
And, except for the last item, all this stuff applies to the Dem confab as well.

Note to self: stay right the fuck where you are, in the Great Lakes region. Teeny tiny earthquakes, no hurricanes, only the occasional small tornado.

No safety from gale-force winds is worth this.
And actually, they already determined the platform; we've already been told where they stand on abortion and statehood for DC.
What grade of storm surge is required for the evacuation of the strip clubs?
this is barack obama's fault.
The important thing is to fill the bathtub with water. A good way to do this is to fill it with ice, then put beer in the ice. Just trust me.
I hope hurricane-force winds does not prevent a George W. Bush flyover and window peek.
If God isn't behind this, Mother Nature certainly is. You might want to rethink your party's position on climate change, guys.

Dear Wonkette: I apologize for verb-subject disagreement which I was unable to edit in time.
