Why not talk about Paul's convention across the river where real issues and problems will be discussed, and solutions, whether you agree or disagree with them, will be given. The RNC will be a bunch of show and no substance unless you are a fan of spreading fear and war. I attended a republican convention in NM, and it was full of talks about killing people in the middle east.

It's a maverick new idea. Why bore the public with four days of this stuff? Heck, let's make a law! Conventions can only be 3 days from now on. Woohoo

At least we know McCain won't don a toga and erect a Greek temple and pretend he's a Greek God.

That much we know for sure.

Thank God that spectacle side show didn't work. Convention bounce = zero.

Tied up again. LOVE IT!

Kitty - How about getting rid of some laws. Politicians seem to justify their positions by making more laws to control us.

The GOP isn't fit to walk in Ron Paul's shadow.

I will be tuning into the Ron Paul convention. C-Span is covering it live. At least it will be interesting.

You forgot items 4 an 5:

4) Palin's husband convicted of DUI

5) Obama taking the high road over the pregnancy cover-up, telling reporters that a family's business and especially their children, are private matters.

For next week, number 6:

6) Palin's disclosure of her daughter's 5th month (or, who knows, perhaps the 4th month) into her 2nd pregnancy has only temporarily distracted the media from the question of the first child, who was born 4 months ago. So the first story is still there, to be exposed soon.

So the GOP convention will end Thursday - the same day Hurricane Hanna's scheduled to slam Georgia of S. Carolina? God sure bracketed them!

Seems like you are missing the big story of the RNC: the police state in which it is illegal to organize for Food Not Bombs, drive a bus from Montana to show off solar technology, or carry a camera to document police activity and suppression of freedom of assembly, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, and the right to free speech, wouldn't it?

But, that would mean exposing the fascists running this country, wouldn't it? Much more important to investigate a 20-year old DUI, a teenager's pregnancy, and spout Karl Rove gibberish.

I want my airwaves back. You provide no public service.

It occurs to me that one of the main headlines was about the rebranding of the GOP thanks to Gustav. I wonder if an unborn baby hasn't just made that a bit harder. I wonder if that isn't going to remind voters of the scandal ravaged party of 2006.

LiberalTarian - You forgot to mention the latest antics of Lohan and Spears. Surely those events are vital to public discourse. Go Ron Paul!

Now, the truth is starting to come out about the reckless, cavalier, and dangerous decision made by McSame to place Sarah (knock 'em up) Palin on the ticket. If this is the type of decision making to be expected of McSame in the White House, then he is a very dangerous man indeed to even be considered for the presidency. Hopefully, the American people (this doesn't include mentally deranged social conservatives) will wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late. Obama/Biden 08!!!

Bill Burton, Please put large cork in your mouth and your a--h---! I am tired of you , you alway negative on Sarah Palin, I know You are jealous of her husband. I know Bill Burton has a bad background, too. Please keep your mouth dry up! I don`t like Barack Obama so much. You know Obama is a liar and whiner. I hope all women will support Sarah Palin. Obama `s campian can ruin peoples`s life, Please dry uyp yourself ,
Go McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

palin is a traitor. it is a disgrace to the party of lincoln that they nominated someone who wants alaska to leave our great nation. PALIN IS A TRAITOR!

National Enquirer reporters are in Alaska covering the story. They pay for their information. All will come out just as it did with John Edwards -- never fear.
