If we think back to Bush Jr’s time – Florida was a key state involved in his coming into office; and his most contentious actions were to start a second Gulf War. So when God smited Florida – in the Gulf Coast of America, I assumed He was probably making a point.

You just can't make this stuff up... To show how much they love private businesses and continue their attack on the "You didn't build that" line, they've gone so far as to give Tuesday's session the theme, "We Built This!" But they are hosting this paean to private enterprise...in a place built primarily with public funds.

Actually, any thing that distracts or even cancels the convention would be a blessing to Republicans. If God truly supports their cause, he’ll want seniors thinking about hurricanes rather than the winds of radical change to Social Security and Medicare demanded by speakers at the convention. He’ll want Hispanic Americans thinking about escape from Isaac rather than exclusion from opportunity offered them at the convention. He’ll want woman focused on helping victims rather than the convention focused on their vaginas. The middle class must focus on rising waters rather than the receding opportunities offered by the convention. The poor must think of safety now rather than losing our Safety Net later. If God supports Republicans, he will hide the convention with rains and thicken the fog of ignorance rather than allow cleansing sunshine to highlight the decay of a once mediocre Party.

Maybe Michael D. Brown (of “good job Brownie” during Katrina) is available to help out?

You guys totally crack me up.

But we shouldn’t get too cocky, lest we piss the lord off ourselves.

[Patricia, I'd been watching this for a few days, waiting for the predicted weather track to show it heading for Tampa]

Isaac would be the father of Judaism (which begat Christianity) and Islam, yet the R’s don’t believe in evolution. There’s more to evolution than physiology.

I live in Sarasota and we’re concerned about storm surge and damaged power lines, but it’s unlikely the storm will be a direct hit.

The Tampa convention center is only 4 ft above sea level and there’s a chance the storm surge will occur during high tide…that would be a double whammy. Maybe someone will start building an ark for the GOP members.
