This is about right. I wait all week for the Republican Convention, and what happens? It rains in NOLA, the convention is cut short, and the whole world stops spinning.

Alright, look. I know it’s more than just rain, but is this what we have come to now? Have we saddled ourselves with so much undeserved “white guilt” that we need national coverage on every channel everytime it spits in New Orleans? Why must the whole world stop for this? I just don’t get it.

Let me be clear. I don’t want anyone to get hurt. I don’t want anyone to die. But do I really need to see a soaking wet Sheperd Smith standing out in the rain going, “Yeah, it sure is windy out here Megyn!” for 17 straight hours?
No thanks. I’ll pass. I mean, what do you people want me to do about it? It’s kind of morbid really. Perhaps I should sit glued to the TV and repeatedly ask “Did NOLA sink yet? Did NOLA sink yet?”

Note: Typos have been corrected for your reading pleasure.

I need somebody to explain something to me. I really do.

Why exactly is it, despite all that has happened since the 2006 midterm, (which in reality isn’t much, nice job, Nancy) “conservatives” still seem to think that we need to move left to win an election? Or at least, “It’s not what we want, but it will do.”

I’m completely baffled. Could we *please* grow a set?

To be more direct, what I’m actually talking about at the moment is the half-baked idea that Joe Lieberman would be the ideal running mate for John McCain this November. For the love of God, has everybody lost their minds? What in the hell is wrong with people?

I realize I’m coming off as rather terse here, but it’s all I can do to keep exploding in a fit of rage.
