Like libs everywhere they tend to get lost at payment time.

All their pals were pushed for a big turnout.

They will be stiffed.

And when they can’t fill the Time Warner Center, they’ll move it to the bathroom.

Sorry, with all the faggots in attendance, the bathrooms have been booked solid for months.

Can expect the MSM to provide a split screen showing clear skies outside while the Preezy is speaking...?

They don’t need to fill the stadium. They didn’t fill Invesco in Denver. I know this, because I was there as part of the TV press (and no, there were no thunderstorms forecast). They only need to fill 40% of the floor and first ten rows of 70% of the stadium for good TV (at night). The Denver event was a masterful illusion (in more ways than one!). It was a logistical nightmare, that was a miracle (and nightmare) then... and no wonder they don’t want to relive it now! The threat of thunderstorms is not worth the havoc it wreaks on our equipment, lights, and generators.

Ha! And now on Weather.com!

Riskiest Convention Cities

Charlotte, site of this year’s Democratic National Convention Sept. 3-6, doesn’t make our list of riskiest convention host cities. But Charlotte is not immune to hurricanes and tropical storms. In September 1989, Hurricane Hugo slammed into the South Carolina coast and then passed just west of Charlotte. Winds gusted to 100 mph, downing trees and power lines. A total of 12 tropical storms have passed within 50 miles of Charlotte. Tropical Depression Danny in July of 1997 caused significant flooding in Charlotte.

Although we used only hurricanes in our analysis, a tropical storm could disrupt events for host cities as well. A five-day forecast projected path implicating a convention host city would likely cause anxiety and send emergency planners scrambling. Because conventions only occur during a few days during the six-month hurricane season, the overall threat of an interruption is low.

If all the DNC claims were on the up-and-up, they’d have big Jumbotrons in the Bank of America Stadium for the overflow crowd, but we all know there wouldn’t be more than a few thousand people show up there, and they wouldn’t dare let that become known!

Poetic that they’ll have to compensate for all the unused busses, eh? Or perhaps if those belonged to unionized groups, maybe they’ll just call it “campaign contribution” as the DNC stiffs ‘em.

09/05/2012 09:00 Charolette



The National Wheather Service is issuing this important Wheather Advisery.  Please adjust your schedule accordingly.

- - - - -

Gail force hot air has formed a topical depression over Charolette, North Carolina.  At this point in time, forcast models are predicting pockets of escaping stagnant back room air broken up by swirling masses of bitter angst.

By Thursday evening local time, Charolette can expect a considerable amount of moisture on the foreheads of officials at the Democrat National Convention.  Expected appearances by Leftist players throughout the region have vaporized.  Attendence at Bank of America Stadium could be deep under water by Thursday evening.

The National Wheather Service is now issuing an Inclement Wheather Warning.  Plans for one outdoor event should be canceled immediately.  Failing to do so could result in a flood of embarrassment.

Any busing plans to or from BofA Stadium should be re-evaluated.

Most Democrats should remain in their homes and wait for further alerts, unless directed to do otherwise.

President Obama has declared BofA Stadium a disaster area, and has made funds available to compensate owners who were monetarily damaged.

The Presidential Press Secretary has made public this press release:  In excess of 55 hours before Tropical Depression Obama was to strike Bank of America Stadium in Charolette, we have activated our national disaster plan.  Plans for Bank of America Stadium have been cancelled.  Democrats who had tickets, and are thus victimized, are being urged to go to Warner Cable Arena, for temporary housing. A limited number of empty chairs are still available.  Those who can't make it to the stadium, should remain in their homes, and think about how they can bail water for the best president our nation has ever had.

More information will be released as this administraton's needs warrant.

"Remember this little gem? LOL! "

Yeah, that was a Memorial Day speech he chose to give in Illinois, instead of visiting Arlington National Cemetery. He got rained out!
