Welcome to The Keystone State/ Party City/ Home of the 2008 Democratic Convention and more! High up in the Rocky Mountains the air is thin and the locals are already restless. ...All this just because Borack Obama is coming to town and bringing the whole world with him! Now, who was the guy that thought Denver would be a perfect fit for a convention like this? Sure, millions of dollars are being circulated through the city limits however, most o
f the people who live there claim to be "Independants". In other words, they could give a rat's ass if it's Obama or McCain staying at the Howard Johnson's down the street. This convention brings a lot of unwanted attention to a place way up in the hills that just wants to be left alone! Can you blame them? Before Mr. Obama has even made an appearance before the large crowd, a storm of controversey already swirls overhead. In keeping with family tradition, a Kennedy had to speak to the masses yesterday and Sen. Ted Kennedy who was rumored to possibly not survive the excitement of the night came on stage and assured us that as ill as he may be and knocking at death's door, he's "Not ready to die just yet". Thank goodness he's planning on toughing it out as long as the late Sen. Strom Thurman did.

ole the spotlight for a while last night, the invisible Obama was there too, if only in spirit. While he's away working on Thursday night's speech and forging a couple last minute quotes from JFK and Martin Luther King, members of his opposition are frantically digging through pile upon piles of paperwork linking the Presidential hopeful to a 1960's radical group that tried to blow up the Pentagon. Whoever had the job of shredding these documents 40 years ago has proven they must have been asleep. While all this is going on, three people were caught in a failed attempt to kill Sen. Obama when police discovered explosives and lots of drugs connected to the trio. The government may have made an error here by not charging them with a Federal Offense. They claim that the three were just talking about what they'd like to do and the officials concluded that all three were just racist nitwits high on dope and really didn't pose a threat to anyone. Is this some new loophole in the law? 
If I were Obama and elected as our next President, that's the first thing I would look into. Reviewing history, most tragedies were caused by people who were "just talking" and look what happened next> Obama says he's not too worried,,, I say, you 've got to be kidding!

How else do you explain another common loophole that allows struggling corporations to throw lavish parties in honor of the Democrats when such a thing is supposed to be illegal? Here's the thing. It IS illegal to host a party intended for that purpose however, it is simply "overlooked" so long as no big dinners are served. In other words, take United Airlines and all their troubles. They too are celebrating in Denver this week where shareholders are spending money like it's going out of style yo grease the palms of all the Democratic hopefuls. And to think they have the nerve to charge you $5.00 for a bottle of Aquafina on a three hour flight!
Michelle Obama and Hillary 
Clinton dined together after Hillary's speech this evening. They went to one of the local bar and grill establishments to sink their teeth into all you can eat Rocky Mountain Oysters and hot wings. Both seemed to be unphased when told that these particular "oysters" don't come from the sea. There you go. As this event hits it's mid-week peak before giving it up to McCain and Company next week, this convention remains as uneventful as all the others in years past (Oh yeah, let us not forget about 1968 in Chicago). I don't think all the excitement will change the way anyone in Colorado votes in November. As a matter of fact, the majority of those polled have stated that they'll be staying home on the second Tuesday in November and I can't blame them either. Think of all the things that Colorado has given us: Y
ou can go for a joyride up in the mountains in your Mercury Mountaineer while listening to John Denver on the CD player, drive until you get to a Denny's, stop off and get a Denver omelette and an ice cold Coors, and then go out to the parking lot where you realize you have a crapload of unpaid traffic tickets and that's why the "Keystone Cops" slapped that Denver Boot over your tire! God Bless America!
