GOP Convention 2008, Minneapolis, MN:
CS Monitor had a reputation for being non partisan back in the 80s and 90s. I'm told before then as well. Things have gone South since then. And by South, I mean conservative.
Check out this short article to see what I mean.
(If you can't see the bias, scroll to the bottom of this blog entry, please)
This article extensively quotes an individual named Susan MacManus. The article says that Susan MacManus is a a non-partisan "political scientist" from Florida. She's actually a highly partisan Republican who's job it is to snooker the mainstream media at events like these.
A 10 second Google search on the term "Susan MacManus" yielded this short article explaining who this person really truly is.
The alternative explanation is that Linda Feldman, the writer was also trying to snooker us. The alternative alternative explanation to that is that CS Monitor is also trying to snooker us.
You are an idiot.

GOP Convention 2008: Republicans Screwing Other Republicans
GOP Convention 2008, Minneapolis, MN:
The event site was a ghost town tonight. There are no customers. Even some of the vendors have abandoned their booths.
They're not just gone. They gone crazy. The vendors are furious with the convention sponsor and there's talk of a class-action lawsuit.
2500 bucks a booth and the event sponsor still tries to charge a family 10 bucks for each child to get in. Bravo, idiots. For what? For the privilege of seeing the stuff we want to sell them? Cab fare from the airport hotel is 30 bucks. "Please take my money! Twice!"
If anyone tries to tell you that we're slow because of the Hurricane down south. Don't believe it. The only people who have left the convention are McCain, and Anderson Cooper. I guess it's better to be knee deep in surge instead of neck deep in bullshit.
John McCain's running mate is a politician who opposes teaching teenagers to use birth control.
This same running mate has just announced that her 17 year-old-still-in-high-school daughter is unexpectedly pregnant.
Please allow me to REPEAT THAT IN ALL CAPS:
JOHN MCCAIN'S RUNNING MATE IS A POLITICIAN WHO OPPOSES TEACHING TEENAGERS TO USE BIRTH CONTROL.
THIS SAME RUNNING MATE HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT HER 17-YEAR-OLD-STILL-IN-HIGH-SCHOOL UNMARRIED DAUGHTER IS UNEXPECTEDLY PREGNANT.
Ummmm... at a loss for words here.
Yeah. I know it's great that her daughter isn't aborting the baby. That's the "silver lining" for you. Fine. Who cares.
Well what if I took over the country and made everyone slaves in my coast-to-coast gulag workcamp? Would your response be, "Well at least we don't have to cook for ourselves anymore!" The silver lining is irrelevant. I know it. You know it.
The point being made is that conservative values don't work in the real world.
And this will be held up as an example for years to come.
Did I mention earlier that most of the vendors at this event are Republicans?
Republicans are screwing other Republicans in every way imaginable.

GOP Convention 2008: Log Cabins Educate the Ladies
GOP Convention 2008, Minneapolis, MN:
Day 3:
Bitter basement church ladies aren't buying a damn thing. To be fair they are not all bitter. But they clutch their collars a little tighter as they slink by.
The Sikhs across the way seem to fairing better. A bunch of turban-headed men doing brisk business selling software at a Republican National convention is not the strangest thing I've seen here.
Nevertheless, we ain't selling a damn thing. This event is a total and complete FLOP for all concerned.
We were promised 150,000 visitors. I'd be surprised if we see half that.
The actual numbers in the first 3 days are abysmal.
There's suppose to be 300 vendors. Is there half that here?
No one's buying anything.
All is lost.
But a glimmer of hope! The Log Cabin Republicans are here and plain looking curious college girls stealthily sneak up to steal a brochure when no one's looking. The Born-Agains mumble to us, "Frankly we don't need 'em." But it hasn't come yet to fisticuffs. Other visibly ignorant delegates saunter past, ask the question get the answer and say and "Oh... that's.... ..... .... nice." And then walk away flushed. This happens two dozen times.
What a terrible way to find out what a Log Cabin Republican is... for a Republican.
They've got a tough ho to row. And so do we. Like I said, we ain't selling a damn thing.
