Lena Horne -- Stormy Weather, 1943

It's the eve of the Republican National Convention. Well, sort of. For a party who claims that they are the best suited to run the country, they've been remarkably dunder-headed about simply running their own damn nominating convention. Now I'm not willing to go as far as to say that Hurricane Isaac is God's little way of expressing his disapproval with the GOP (although I have no doubt that Pat Robertson or Ralph Reed would absolutely claim that had this been the Democratic convention). But I do find it highly symbolic that a crowd so eager to dismiss global climate change is facing the very effects of which they've tried to deny.

All talk with be on the RNC's messed up convention. Will anyone point out that Todd Akin's "extremist" views on abortion have just been ratified into the party's official platform? And that Mitt Romney, as the titular head of this party, must now own those extreme views? Will anyone point out that Republicans can't even run a convention without screwing it up, how can they run this country? Or will anyone point out the ever-growing number of shootings taking place in this country and ask the Republican Party if they won't even discuss sensible gun control, could they just moderate their eliminationist rhetoric?

Of course they won't.
