On the second day of the Republican National Convention, the republican delegates stood up and sang, "We're not gonna take it anymore!"
Okay, I made that up. But it did feel like the republicans and Twisted Sister share a brotherhood of oppression and rebellion. After all, everyone is out to get the party of Nixon. The lefty media. The liberal democrats. Even the weather tried to shut them down, for goodness sake.
If we judged conventions on how funny they are, I would have to call the Dems and the Repubs deadlocked. This is a neck and neck race of ridiculousness.
Items of Silliness Observed at the RNC:
1. The RNC was just as snooze-inducing as the DNC. It was as if all the politicians in the country get a single fill in the blank mad lib speech making worksheet. "We ________ are gathered together to nominate ___________ for President. Don't vote for our opponent ____________ because he/she is a flat-headed, whiny, dippy burger who can't be trusted."
2. People wore big stuffed elephants on their heads. The Women's Republican Council actually call themselves the Pink Elephants. I wore a pink pig hat to a Rib Fest once. That practically makes me family, I'll bet.
3. Enter the Blond Brigade - There were blonds everywhere in the republican audience. There were young blond men, ancient blond women, and wide-eyed blond children trying to stay awake on blond folding chairs.
It is my firm belief that Sarah Palin was chosen as the VP candidate as an emergency brunette color transfusion. "Add that brown hair, STAT! Yes! That will win us voters."
Now, don't forget to rock out that vote. John Adams in 2008! Go Federalists.
