TAMPA—Tropical Storm Isaac may not spare Tampa. So Republicans decided late Saturday to spare themselves.

In an 11th-hour decision as the gathering storm drew nearer, Republican National Convention officials made the difficult call to shrink the four-day gathering by a day, cancelling Monday’s proceedings.

Though most, if not all, of the estimated 50,000 visitors are to arrive Sunday, officials said the cancellation of Monday’s events will spare attendees from what could be “severe transportation difficulties due to sustained wind and rain.”

Its been some 20 years since a hurricane hit Tampa. More, my parents were still there.

Maybe it's all because god loves gays...

Obviously, they are not doing enough to prevent the legitimate gay rape of foetuses, so god hates them.

Not doing enough even to keep a favourite son onside - Made my day take II

Tampa may have escaped the worst of tropical storm Isaac, but Republicans arrived for their convention to find another kind of tempest brewing over the direction of their party.

Florida’s former Republican governor, Charlie Crist, stole almost as much of the convention’s thunder as Isaac by formally endorsing President Barack Obama over GOP nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday. He lashed out at the GOP for moving so far to the right that moderates like him have been left with no other choice but to quit the party.

I can see the misprint in the headline now...

Christ Supports Obama!
