RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's two years away, but I'm already dreading that fact that Cleveland might even have the slightest chance to host the 2008 GOP Convention (I was going to link to the GOP site, but I went there for the first time in my life. SCARY!!!!! I'd guess snuff/porn sites would be less frightening!!).

We They (I refuse to be in anyway associated w/this) are in competition with Tampa, Minneapolis, New York City (didn't they just have it?) and Philadelphia. PLEEEEEEEEASSSSSE let it be some other town. ANY other town.

Two days ago when the GOP deciders came to town to see what we were alllll about, they were greeted at the airport by jugglers, clowns, bands - oh and the mayor. Our democratic mayor, from our democratic town. But really, why wouldn't the Republicans reward us w/this great event? I mean, we fuckin' handed them the 2004 election. Ok - Cleveland didn't, but Ohio did.

Though it would seem the right thing to do, if we bestowed the opportunity to host this shin-dig, I should probably stay to protest whatever dastardly deeds they do/have done. However, I'm more apt to plan my vacation around this debacle and get the hell out of Dodge.

To be honest, I haven't read that much about the sites they are looking at. For all intense purposes, we don't have a convention center. The convention/travel site lists things to do, eat, go, how to get - but no venue. I guess they'd have to use Gund arena, The Q. The only thing I hear them touting is where to visit and eat. I guess like any convention, it's about the attractions, not the meeting.

Maybe we can rent the house out for that week or two. Not to republicans. Perhaps to media or some nicer moveon members. We could probably make two months worth of mortgage that way.

....and for the record, I'd choose death!
