Life Our Democratic National Convention Experiences - Page 2

This isn't politics, so no need to move it to DC. It's more sociology. I just thought that maybe the Denver residents could discuss stuff we observe as part of the DNC events.

I'll start. It's Sunday night, and I haven't noticed anything.

Others can feel free to add to this thread as the week progresses.

For what it's worth, it was indeed the Phelps clan. I found the protest listed on their web site. No wonder they were drawing so much attention.

When Ted Kennedy came on, my cats all broke into the liquor cabinet and drove my car off a bridge. Weird....

These conventions crack me up. They are still the "presumptive nominee" technically. I don't think anyone related to the nominee should be speaking until AFTER they have been officially nominated.

Barack was on via satellite tonight... under his name was "live in Kansas City, MO"... and he has to say.... "I'm in St. Louis".

We get no respect, I tell ya, no respect.

**Rain Man** · 08-25-2008, 09:45 PM

Since Hillary Clinton will be in town, Denver brought in a lot of guards to help protect the local residents. This is a street on my way home where some sort of protest was getting underway.

Check out the dude in the center left. He was all excitable, swinging his tear gas gun around and stuff. I predict that he's going to gas someone before the week is out.

In an effort to be friendly, the police are offering free pony rides.

**Rain Man** · 08-25-2008, 09:57 PM

There was some muslim singing going on, so I took a little detour to find it. It turns out that there's a really big temporary mosque set up across from the state Capitol. I suspect that the Republicans sponsored it to help build that Obama-Muslim link.

**Rain Man** · 08-25-2008, 10:00 PM

The Host Committee is very welcoming, and has these buses ready to help take protestors to free lodging.

He said Kansas City twice and St. Louis once. He got saved by Sasha asking him where he was.

**Rain Man** · 08-25-2008, 10:04 PM

The buses are probably making corrupt politicians in the Capitol very nervous.

I'm in Manhattan (NYC) now, and this has nothing to do with Denver, but I don't feel like starting a new thread for my vacation experiences.

Let me just say that, when you're on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, it's not a good feeling to hear a low rumble, followed 5 minutes later by a rush of security guards talking about feeling an explosion in the building. I'm guessing it was nothing, given that I'm still alive, but still odd. On the other hand, the view was great!
