Rebublican Convention

As the worst storm of the year bears down on the most-often battered part of the country, the Republicans have taken the half step of cancelling day one of the convention.

"This is a time when we have to do away with our party politics and we have to act as Americans,'' John McCain, soon to be the official presidential candidate, said Sunday from St. Louis. ``We are going to suspend most of our activities tomorrow, except for those absolutely necessary.''

This is all very annoying. None of the convention activities are absolutely necessary. The whole convention process is absolutely unnecessary in this day and age, and a waste of money. Now we have one that is scheduled to run in the middle of the most telegraphed naturals disasters maybe ever and the Repubs can't quite decide whether they should cancel it.

American politics stinks
