Don't forget to bring a towel! Anyone who's ever attended a specialty convention will tell you that it is a rather massive undertaking to coordinate several thousand like-minded individuals in a confined space. Whether it's a gathering of animal costume fetishists, comic book and sci-fi geeks, porn stars, or politicians, these unique meet-ups are logistical nightmares that require the cooperation of local authorities and governments for permits, police, and private security, as well as staffers, work crews, sponsorships, and an event space large enough to house the endeavor. This doesn't even take into account the surrounding communities that need to prepare for the flood of yahoos who barrel into town needing hotels, restaurants, and parking spaces to empty the shitters in their Wonkebagos.
If Cleveland isn't going to take responsibility for workers comp or medical exam they definitely shouldn't. Those police departments have an obligation to their officers not to send them in to harms way without precautions and a plan to help them should something happen.
Well one of them grew up in bumfuck Illinois and I suspect that he's one of those self-haters that scrubs himself off in a shower while trying to pray the gay away.
Poor Cleveland, my home town. Mistake by the Lake. Pulls the short straw. Can't even get a National Convention right."City of light, city of magic" No national championships since 1948. And now this. Republicans. lots of republicans. Maybe they can move the Olympics there from Brazil.
I had to laugh - every time my brother mentions that he'll be at the RNC convention in mid-July, he seems to get more and more bummed about it... glad to see he's not the only one.
> That same sick and disgusted feeling normally felt after a night of heavy drinking is radiating to convention sponsors and vendors like Coca-cola, Microsoft, and H.P. who are politely saying that they would rather take a flying fuck into Lake Erie than be associated with Trump’s orgiastic coronation as God Emperor.
Holy shit, that sentence is so awesome it's like staring into the sun. I'm serious. That is one of my all-time favorite sentences in English. Thank you!
As a newspaper editor for 30 years, I would like to say that, although I would never have allowed a sentence like that to be printed in a family newspaper, it is a dandy sentence, and bright spot on the Wonkette tableau de snark.

I am just glad the Cavaliers made the playoffs and made this all more interesting.
So you mean another delegate from another state?
Nice rememberance.
I'm Canadian so I'm precluded from that.
And no Cruz jokes. He's alien (as in interstellar) so he doesn't count.

There's some shit all the money in the world isn't compensation enough for wading through.
Damn, I didn't think anyone would get that one.
Awww, I wish I said that...
