I thought Hillary wasn’t supposed to arrive until tomorrow?

[Tax-chick]

Karl Rove!

[flyfree]

perfect!

[Vince Ferrer]

Nowhere near the convention.

[fieldmarshaldj]

[Rennes Templar]

It’s on CNN now, huge orange-colored tornado.

[mass55th]

Awww, no pictures of air-borne protesters?

[HAL9000]

Nowhere near the convention.

Several state delegations are assigned to hotels in that area.

[14erClimb]

This is about a 30-40 minute drive from the convention site.

[seekthetruth]

Don’t think so. Only President Bush has that kind of power!

[NonValueAdded]

AlGore must be in town if the weather has turned to used food. I’m still predicting snow and record cold for the Invesco Field Day.

[keepitreal]

I knew the dems would bring disaster. We haven’t had a tornado in that area in forever.

[tbpiper]

Nowhere near the convention.

Yeah, I know. Just adjusting the range on my weather generator. I'll have it dialed in here pretty soon.

[TheNewPundit]

That must have been the Halliburton weather machine, same one that caused Katrina.

[Morgan in Denver]

One can hope but this will not come to Denver. It will move NE from where it is and not even come close, IMHO. There seems to be other fronts further west but none look bad at this point.

[eyedigress]

That Magnificent Bastard! (hope nobody gets hurt) :^)

[kcvl]

lol!

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROVE! You magnificent son of a -——!!!!

[EagleUSA]

God has spoken — if I were a scumbag liberal, I would run and hide!!!

[johnthebaptistmoore]

I predict a Pat Robertson prediction very soon!

[Morgan in Denver]

Some are in the Tech Center but I don’t know of any further south.

>>”I thought Hillary wasn’t supposed to arrive until tomorrow?”<<

Aunt Ester’s daughter (Mrs. Messiah) did show up about that time. FOX news was having a cow over her arrival. It was sickening.........

[Petronski]

Why did Lord Obama do that?

[COBOL2Java]

Why did Lord Obama do that?

It was a teachable moment. People could then see him raise his hands and calm the storm.

[Vince Ferrer]

That would redefine the term, “airstrike.”

[taraytarah]

Whatever’s appropriate to the situation...

[Carley]

Tornado warning lifted for Douglas County but was on the ground in Parker

Be safe folks

[dfwgator]

*sniff* I’m gonna miss that old Rove weather machine *sniff*

[maggief]

INCOMING!!!!!!!!!

[Salvation]

Hmmmm.

[davetex]

GUILTY!!!

Oh, sorry.

[NRA2BFree]

I’m praying for torrential rain on the day Obama plans his big out door stadium acceptance speech. It’s pretty tempting to pray that a huge tornado would wipe out all of those liberals in one place, but that wouldn’t be very Christian like, so I’ll just pray for rain, and if God wants to get a little revenge and throw in something extra, it’s up to Him. LOL

[Chode]

[Gumdrop]

God speaks, but He is not in the wind!

[Radix]

"Don’t think so. Only President Bush has that kind of power!"

Right, him and Karl Rove with that weather machine thing that they used to destroy New Orleans and wreck the Republican Party after Katrina.

[mkjessup]

I’m holding out for the locusts and frogs.

[dfwgator]

[tips up]

Didn’t Dobson ask for prayers for some bad weather for the convention? Seems to be working.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Is Nancy Pelosi still okay? Somebody has to save the planet!

[Kenny500c]

An ill wind is blowin’ into Denver.

And a tornado too!

[Jemian]

foreshadowing

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

Missed it by *this* much....

[madison10]

So how often do tornadoes touch down in Colorado...let alone Denver? Eerie.

[LibertyRocks]

Strange... They usually hit further to the East in Colorado. Of course, calling the area “South Metro Denver” instead of say the (FAR) Southern Suburbs is a little misleading, as I immediately thought of the area just south of Hampden Ave.. where I lived for a while. Anyway...

Prayers for all in the storm’s path...

[definitelynotaliberal]

Weather events have to do with Al Gore, not Hillary ;-)

[definitelynotaliberal]

From your lips to God’s ears ..........

[Tax-chick]

I hope everyone’s okay, too.
