Tropical Storm Isaac threatens to dampen the Republican National Convention Monday in Tampa, Florida. National media outlets are having a grand time anticipating a Grand Old Party washout. Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn (D) announced Wednesday that he is absolutely prepared to call off the convention next week, with anticipated attendance of 70,000 delegates, party officials, journalists, protesters and others. Buckhorn has not indicated that he would attempt to mitigate liberal protests or a hastily planned Joe "Plugs" Biden visit to Tampa during the convention.
Time will tell. Stay tuned...

The one image that stuck out to me was the 2x4 that was stuck horizontally in the side of a tree.
Are you ready for some football??
Don’t know, I’m not very optimistic about this year, especially at the quarterback position.
Or the Winter Olympics either!
Thank you!!!
YOU are my weatherman...and THAT’s impt in Jax!!!
As one who has worked in university administration, colleges usually like to tout the expertise on faculty and encourage use of university facilities for those projects that reflect well on the school.
This just seems odd, but maybe there’s some bad blood there or some sort of ego battle. It’s probably about who gets money.
I’ll take your word as to his reliability and bookmark his site.
I live here.
The past week has been marvelous, just a gift, but highly unusual. Was it 2000 when September highs were even hotter than August, way above 100 every day?
Texan to my toes, but if we’re ever to host a summer Olympics, it needs to be in the Davis mountains. ;-)
The thing I’d forgotten to mention in my previous post is...I have a 17-year-old neice in the Dominican Republic right now on a mission trip. She’s in the bullseye of this thing. I’m just a BIT nervous.
Whooo Hooo
You had me worried most of the summer.
Was great to see your ping - ah, but not reason of the coming storm.
I always get Pop Tarts.
Will Issac wash away the protestors and spare the GOP venue???
Maybe that's what Travis Bickle meant.
I'm REAL familiar with that 'look.'
lol...
Especially after having to cancel the first day and adjust the schedule of the 2008 convention because of Hurricane Gustav!
Thank you for the ping!!
Remember that the Paulistas/Paulbots have been promising for months that there would be a major disruption at the convention...
Hmmmmmmm.....
I never developed a taste for raw Pop Tarts. Gotta have ‘em toasted.
My daughter is on her honeymoon in Jamaica....hoping they get out before it hits. Perhaps my first grandson will be named “Isaac”
FLL should be okay. Isaac would be at least 200 miles away. Most likely in a weakened condition if over Cuba.
